PMS

Wondering how providers manage to handle their PMS symptoms. I raised 4 girls and I am well aware of the "week before". Just wondering how providers work with "sore boobs", "bloat", "mood swings", anxiety, etc. I'm sure you don't take off for Aunt Flo and a week before. So, what do you do to handle this? Does this affect your performance on a appointment?

"When it's her time of the month, your time is up."

And I thought he was talking about a Professional Moving Service, where attitude is everything.

The providers sacrifice goats to the great TCGF in the sky.

Best of luck convincing any woman on that one...

It can be a challenge. The hardest part is managing the mood swings. However generally it is individual. I only PMS 3 days before. During that time I try to avoid too sappy or sad things. I avoid setting longer dates and give out a good warning about what time of month may be rising (I actually put it on my calendar) Embarrassing? absolutely. However it allows gentlemen to make an informed decision.

Generally PMS is less the problem than the actual monthly. Bloating can be controlled with a variety of medications available. mood swings are hard to predict but generally you can feel it coming on.

I simply try to wall myself up and hide (for the safety of everyone else) during the worst of it all.

What?

You actually resort to walling yourself off from society during your period as if you had leprosy or something equally menacing during your period?

. . .I give thanks that I do not have to endure this thing that is rightly called "the curse" that you ladies must deal with. You ladies some of done something really bad in antiquity for this curse to befall you and now you must suffer for your transgressions.

But hey, don't shoot the messenger!

Except for some choice guys that are into some freaky fetishes, this would pretty much be grounds for the worst review of all time. If this got out, it would be career suicide.

The week before is a different issue.

My bad thought this was about private messages

Some of us don't get periods. The depo shot is the greatest thing that ever happened to me. No more curse for me. Well, I haven't been on it a year yet, so I still get sporadic, unexpected breakthroughs, but far less often than monthly, and they will likely get less and less frequent until they stop completely. Yay for modern medicine!

Some ladies use a make up pad on the vagina to kinda mask and slow the flow of blood.......
