I honestly don't know any woman who likes her period. I don't think it's uncommon. I personally hate it like everyone else and tampons are a bit less messy.

I'm lucky to not have cramps that often but when i do i just take pamprin, those work better than tylenol and i go do my regular stuff. lying down and thinking endlessly how much you want it to be over just makes it hurt worse. same with headaches or back aches i get every once in a while. i soooo can't wait to be done with these forever though. good friggin grief. maybe i get T in a few short months.
