Hate them so much. I want to use a.. *trigger warning*





..cup but it's too dysphoria inducing and I can't get the damn thing to fit no matter what fold used. Oh well. *sigh*

I didn't mind that much pre-T but the two I've had on T so far were disappointing because I know some guys who start T and never bleed again. I was hoping that would be the case for me, but nah. It's not like...so bad I can't deal tho

Those guys must have been super lucky. Most guys that I know that started T said it took them a couple months. One can only hope they will stop as soon as the T starts to kick in.. ;-;

Guess I am on the lucky side, Mine are weird maybe its because of my T level and the fact that its going up the more I lift weights, I am pre T but I have a 2 day period and then rest is just spotting, But I keep forgetting about them until I get cramps.

Yeah mine are usually only 2 days and then spotting also.  Last time there was almost 0 spotting after though. It used to be 5-6 days though with severe cramps.  But then I cut added sugars out of my diet by a lot (not easy to do) and it just made all the difference (also cleared up acne) But how it affects me... I get extremely dysphoric.  It's not so much the bleeding that bothers me as much as the things you need to keep it clean (pads or tampons).  I won't get into any detail lol so I'll leave it at that.  I kinda dissociate from what happens.  But man... pads and tampons just make me buckle over sometimes from dysphoria. It's bad. I can't really handle it.

As hart said in her video about Mother Nature,
'I don't know why I have to pay to bleed!'

Literally, I feel your period is payday for the brand of pad/tampon you use.

But on a serious note, even Pre-T I can't STAND my period. I don't get cramps anymore like I used to but I get easily annoyed and honestly moody. It's not really because of the period itself, in all honesty I get a LITTLE moody but not moody and weird cravings, but it's because I realize I'm still a freaking female! I usually skip because of track season with is heaven and hell. Heaven because I skipped, yay! Don't have to actually be a girl! Hell because if I get it next month, it's not only heavier and lasts longer, but I then get very irritable and not good ole me the guys can wrestle and fight with. Ugh!!!! It sucks!

I have found one way to deal with it however. I usually wear my boxers over my underwear and go with it like that. Upside is, it's winter so I don't mind the warmth. Sucks in the summer though, gets hot but at least I don't have to deal with awkward staring in public when they notice that guy wearing panties!

But being on my period causes serious issues when I'm in the city and trying to pass as a guy. I can't walk into a mens washroom to change a pad real quick, that's a dead giveaway! But I walk into the womens restroom and 75% of the time walk out to waiting police/store security...

If you're reading this Mother Nature, do me one favor: Send a text saying "no babies, all clear" for three days straight once a month instead!

I got my first period when I was 15 and it was bull->-bleeped-<- lol hated it. So dysphoric...I'd just try to detach and pretend like it was a medical problem and not a strictly "female" problem...I just have a bleeding disorder!!
Due to sports and athletics I would skip mine, become irregular or have it disappear all together. I'd get so used to not having it that when my period finally would return it was really like getting smacked in the mouth....sometimes looking back I think that if I did get regular periods it would've sucked less cause at least I'd be expecting it.
It stopped for about 10 months and then one week after my very first T shot I got it out of the blue for maybe 3 hours ( I ->-bleeped-<- you not, total mindf**k ) then it left for 5 weeks, came back for the common 4 days and after that it has never been seen again...thank god.

I was really lucky in that after my first shot it never came back. Reading everyone's experiences has been interesting. I'm much more analytical about it now. I wanted to add though that when I had bad dysphoria about them I convinced myself it was like constipation. Once it's out it's better but the process sucks.

I just reminded myself that estrogen levels were my lowest during my period and it sorta helped but I still hated it

It's like being a toddler all over again. You learn to not need a diaper then you grow up and need one again.

That's interesting Dean, I always feel MORE feminine during my period which I really can't stand. I don't give two hoots about the bleeding part.

Recently though I've been thinking "ugh, time for that AGAIN?" each time lol so I don't think I'll be missing mine when they go.

So interesting how each one of us has different ways to handle the problem.  I had forgotten the smell of using pads, so bad.  I could never use the cup with having to put your finger inside no no.  A couple guys convince themselves that it was not really period blood great for you but my dysphoria is so bad that I cannot get to that point.  LatrellHK, I do use the men's restroom do have to change tampons in there some times, my greatest fear is someone seeing me putting something in the trash bin.  I just want to get on t and then in a few years get all those parts removed.  I fear even on t I will get breakthrough bleeding and have to deal with it when I haven't it for months or years.

I got my period today. First one since I started wearing male underwear constantly. The type of trunk I've been wearing is just a bit too slack to get away with. Wearing female underwear again just feels so wrong. I just want to sleep and wake up in a couple of days time when it's all over.

I have to wear both at that time. Female to keep it tight up against me, and boxers over to make me feel human.  If I can't I have to either wear them with the waistband at my navel, or roll the waistband, but I only do that as a stopgap. 

Are there kinds of birth control that can stop your period?If so what kinds? My friend who is ftm mentioned that to me. I've heard of birth control pills that make you get your period every 3 months but not that get rid of it completely.birth control would be easier to get then T .

I take a shot called depoprovera. Been on it a few years and don't get a period at all. As for pills you just skip the 7 that are the other color then the period won't come.

You can also wear men's briefs.  Not the white ones, but the more expensive designer type.  They are more snug fitting.
