New steps, real stories.

it’s that time of the month again, when i go through my menstrual cycle.

If you’re female then you know what i am talking about, if you’re male and don’t know what i am talking about you need to learn because at some point you are going to be a a brother, s father a husband and even a friend to someone in need of the right care.

I have a read a lot of times that females have different symptoms when it comes to menstruation and some people are very lucky that they do not cramp at all, some usually have back pains, others endure bearable pain but me i am on another level of cramping.

It starts like a few days before the menstruation comes, my mood is swinging, my breast swollen , i add a little but of weight, i lost appetite and i crave something very sweet. During this few days which i guess is my ovulation period i experience a lot of wetness down there and vaginal discharge although odorless but it makes me very uncomfortable which eventually keeps me cranky.

Anyways when i experience all this then i know its soon, i cant tell for sure when my phone cant even tell me for sure when but i am very always prepared going about with extra pants, pads and i stay away from white. But lucky for me mine always comes around in the middle of the night or very early in the morning and for some reason i wake up right in time to do the needful before i stain myself or the bed.

Sleeping for me will become a struggle, i am in mild pains, vomiting , tiredness and all i just want to do is lay on the bed all day. I was asked at the office once what i would do if i had cramps and i work at a place where they arent easily compliant with femininity my response was “I wouldn’t even work there in the first place”

I never fall sick but my period is a time where i relax for at most the first two days, not eating, drinking hot tea and spicy soup accompanied with a lot of vomiting. I am back at it for this month so i thought to write a few tips of how i managed to survive this cramps, it’s symptoms and what makes me feel better. Read here for more.
