I can't count the amount of genetic women who've said to me - "You're so lucky not to have periods". Do you want to have a penis and testicles, despise your body, not feel like a woman, feel unlovable on a very deep fundamental level, and go through major surgery and be unable to have children? I didn't think so.

It gets even easier....

Asking as I did:
"Would you want to have no periods?" -Oh yes, please no more periods for me!-
"OK, then would you want to be a man?" -Noooooo, never!-

Speaking to more then one cis-female, hm.

I would like to experience it. Not sure if I would want to have it every month for 50-something years, though.

yes, I want to get as close biologically to being a woman as I am spiritually, all the benefits and all the drawbacks

If it meant carrying a child of my own, yes.
If it was the mess only - no thanks.

IE either the full deal or nothing - there's got to be a payback for all the inconvenience!

It's weird, because no girl really wants a period, so my "That hurts" part of my brain says "Heck no!" but the part of my brain that says it's part (not a major part, but a part) of the life experience of being a woman says, "Of course, without a doubt."

I think if I was given the option I would do it, even if I wouldn't have kids, just to feel more at place.

Then 2 weeks later I'll be kicking myself for doing that x3

Err.. I get all the fun without the mess. Bloating, cramping, irritability, more emotional and feel weaker, etc. All that  but no bleeding It has me a little concerned but no limbs have fallen off yet.

Does that make it Phantom Bite week for me if the guy's call it Shark Week?

So, after almost 1 year, 3 months I can tell you this:   

IT SUCKS!

But, would I give it up? Not on your life Missy!

And to be able to give birth, I'd celebrate Shark Week with a party every month!

I seem to be a minority in my monthly experience with this though

yeah its pretty much what im talking about,
I don't bleed for the moment but I have the exact same symtomes as periods just without blood
(gonna talk to my doctor about it).
so I would call it a shark week.
it might also be logical not all mtf would get it/get it that much, since not all ciswomen get much of it, or even can be sure they get it.

Candy: hehe, yeah I kind of imaginate it to be something like that for most, guess it also would depends alot on the level.

Please let me know what you find out. I tried to bring it up with my doctor but she just blew me off (again). It could be an undiagnosed intersex condition I have for all I know.

I didn't want to call it shark week because of the lack of bleeding.

I've only come across 2 possible explanations for my symptoms, IMS ( http://theneave.com/male-pms-it-does-exist/ )  The other one is Persistent_Mullerian_duct_syndrome.

Hell no!
I´ve had enough of bleeding and pain on my 3 post op months!

Well your doctor probably blew you off because it's impossible to have menstrual cramps without a uterus, and you would know if you had a uterus. And you would probably know if you were any variety of intersexed too--like you would almost definitely be infertile for one thing.

It would also not make sense to have any kind of emotional/mental symptoms of a "period" unless you are injecting E because those are caused by changing hormone levels.

Well I am getting physical symptoms too, so there's something more than just the emotional stuff going on. Maybe I do have IMS and estrogen amplified it's effects. Who knows.

I would love it, and as a teen I sometimes fantasized about it because it equaled completeness.

Yes, I would like to expierence it

it part of been woman.. yes it can be uncomfortable.

Funny what we can be all jealous of.
Periods, including when "they" talked about cramps, ... even about being a Catholic going to have "Kommunion" in a white frilly taffeta dress, including the candles with golden garlands and frills, just about at that time when the first period happens – and of course not being born female to boot, the whole spiel.... early GID, and NO ONE was to know!!!
Even going to confessional AS A GIRL... telling the priest – what?
Oh my, the list goes on. Sob, sob.
Say no more dear,

Axélle

You have to in order to have kids so I want one. But only cuz of that

Quote from: Elsa.G on May 18, 2012, 11:03:43 AM
or if you were given the chance to have just one, would you take it?

Only if I am ovulating too

True. Injecting e monthly would probably the closest thing to having some pms feelings.
