Girls, how do you feel about Periods?

Question

I'm just curious... before you got yours, were you excited about getting it? Were you happy when you did? Do you still feel the same way now?

Answer 1

Erik, am I guessing that you are a 24 year old male and why you would want to know such a thing?  You have seen the answers so far and now I would like to ask you what your thoughts are after hearing the different answers?

Answer 2

Periods suck. Guys are so lucky.

Answer 3

I'm 12 now, and I already got mine about a week ago. I didn't really care before I got it, when I got it, I was scared and upset, and now, I don't really care, because I know how to deal with it and I'm always prepared.

Answer 4

omigosh, i remember PRAYING to get mine!!! i SO badly wanted to grow up. i was in the 5th grade, & i believe it was the last day of school. i was a proud early bloomer. i freaked out though when i saw my underwear the morning of. then my mom gave me this matress pad to go to school with. i was very happy, & selfconscious though because i didnt want it to go through my clothes somehow. pads arent as predictable as tampons. the first few periods dont involve a lot of cramping or discomfort [mine didnt]. but they progress. now its not as fun at all. i dont feel like working out or running or anything fun because my body is in a dull mode. if im cramping its best that im at school so i cant concentrate on the pain. & i hate bloating up before my period...it just looks nasty. haha. but no, i dont really enjoy having my period now, its a lot more intense, but im happy to be a woman & to take on what comes with it.  :]

Answer 5

The first time I got it I was very excited. But now I'm sick of it! :-(

Answer 6

It was just another day of my life. What can I say. It's something that has to happend. I suck it up and keep walking like I don't even have one!!! lol I really don't pay too much attention to it and if I have pain i just ignore it!!

Answer 7

I was excited about getting it. I had pads at the ready, waiting every day to get it. Then came the cramps...=( My first experience was odd, uncomfortable, and painful, so no I was not happy when I got my first period. Yes, I still feel the same way, it is like you want one until you get one. XD

Answer 8

i was not excited about getting it.

i was not happy when i did.

and i mean it sucks but whatever it's life.

Answer 9

hahahaha innocent question pretty funny! =]

Answer 10

I'm glad I'm a girl... but when I first got my period, I thought I was dying or something. Seriously. I ran to my mother crying and said, "I'M BLEEEDING!!!" (I was 11--now I'm 15)

I have pretty close to horrible periods now. I've never liked it.

Answer 11

hate it. hate it. hate it!

grrrrrr! that's the only thing that sucks major balls about being a girl lol.

i was never excited to get it...i got it and i was like 'oh greatt'. ha :)

good luck on your transitioning :D

Answer 12

They are a pain in the, yeah  I was excited to get them when i wass youinger, they make you feel grown up!

Answer 13

Before I got my period: I hadn't really thought about it much, and was kind of in a crazy "Periods? Hah. No. Won't ever happen to mee =)" kind of stance...

When I got my period: Shocked and embarassed. Especially when I had to tell my mom. Also, on the DAY I got my period, there was a pool party and I wasn't allowed to go! =( So I hated them.

Now: I still hate them. They're a nuisance. Honestly, the number of underwear i've thrown away, times i've woken up in the middle of the night to find bloody sheets (even bloody matresses occasionally!) is huge. They are SO annoying. And quite pointless. There surely must be a better way...

Answer 14

I was kind of scared and embarrassed to get mine. But now? I really don't care, cause pretty much all female will get theirs.

But they can be a bother, but I feel relief when it's over for a month.

Answer 15

I cried then I screamed and every month when I get it I don't leave the house for 2 weeks and I want to kill every living thing around me

Answer 16

if it decided to skip out and go to Mexico then I wouldn't beg it to stay.

Answer 17

I never wanted to have my period I wasn't excited and didn't really like it when I first got mine. I still feel the same way about it I didn't like it then and I don't like it now!!! I will never be excited about having my period cause that only meant that I could now get pregnate and that was something I never wanted!!!

So now I have to be careful!!! I HATE having a PERIOD!!!!!!!!

Answer 18

I hate it!! I get really bad cramps, so bad I have to take like 3 advil, but it only hurts for one day. I was excited but at the same time kind of shy about it because even though my mom had already explained it, it just felt so weird...lol That was when I was 13, Im 20 now..i wish I was 13 again..

Answer 19

No. No. Yes.

its a pain is the ***.  i think men should have to sufer more in life.

Answer 20

i was pissed because i didnt get it..then i got it..then got pissed because i got it..they are sooooo annoying!!!

Answer 21

i hate it. it is so gross and i use tampons cuz its much "cleaner" lol and i get sooooooo moody lol i am always grounded that one time of month cuz of my additude problem

Answer 22

I was never excited about getting mine.

Now I hate it - I am always worrying about it, like this week, I am hopingI don't start again at camp :-(

Answer 23

i havent started yet..... im 13....... im probably going to be some overgrown freak. but hey, periods are what keeps us female

Answer 24

I got mine kind of late and I was always like "WTF where's mine" and then I got it and I flipped out because I only lived with my dad so I kinda had to deal with it on my own and it sucked!

I hated having it, especially because pads were so thick and uncomfortable. Everyone said you'd forget you were wearing one, I never did. Once I got over my fear of tampons they became my best friend, and you really can't feel them.

My period's been messed up for the past 2 years like I only get it once every 3 months, if that. Honestly I kind of miss it, especially seeing as I'm sexually active and not knowing if some how I messed up and am pregnant really wastes money on HPTs.

Answer 25

i was excited at first then i found out what it does haha i hate it, you probably wont find a girl who enjoys being on their period. it makes you moody, cranky, you feel like c**p, you cramp, ugh its horrible. def be thankful your a guy :)

Answer 26

Well, before I got mine I wasn't excited about getting it and I wasn't happy when I did. I really just thought that they were really annoying. And I now just don't really think about them because every girl gets them eventually..

Answer 27

ew, a guy is asking this question.

             no one should answer it.

Answer 28

when i got it i was in 6th period (class) in 7th grade. I got it and i ran to the bathroom and it was all huge bloody mess. There was a girl there that let me have a pad and let me borrow her sweater to cover myself. Thank god school was over and noone really saw me stained except for girls in the bathroom which were really nice to me so ther wasnt really that much embarassment. People had told me that first i would get brownish spots or little bleeding but my period did NOT give me a warning!

whats it like, its HORRIBLE. sometimes the pain fromt he cramps is so much that you really feel like barfing. its like torture when they hit hard. i hate having a period.

details: when you are on your period you are always stressing about getting stained and things like that. And there is a smell that comes from it ugh!  Just makes you feel really uncomfortable and icky which makes you be in a really crappy mood sometimes.

was that  TOO MANY details lol  well you asked.

hey, why do you even want to know........PERV! jk.

Answer 29

I was 14 when I got my first period and all my friends were younger than me when they first got theirs.    I just remembering thinking that I'd probably never get it.    Doesn't make much sense but puberty came late and I suppose I had a strange way of thinking.

My first thought when I saw my stained underwear was if I was wearing my sister's underwear.    That's a very gross thought I know but I felt shocked.    Now I could care less.   I don't think much about it.  I'm one of the lucky ones that don't experience PMS so I'm not miserable.   More like indifferent.

Answer 30

i didnt really know about it,

i was young. about nine.

but i was glad i got it.

I have really bad cramps but now i'm on the pill for them.

it doesn't really bug me anymore.  i used to dread it though

Answer 31

I never wanted it, and I hate it still. Mine lasts for eight days, is really heavy, and I feel absolutely TERRIBLE! I get cramps, headaches, I feel sick and am always tired. I HATE MY PERIOD. I feel like god is punishing me... UGH.

I wish I were born a guy, it's that bad... I'd be a g*y guy, because I just can't give up guys, but I'd still be a dude. It's better than having your period.

GUYS ARE SO LUCKY!
