Luckily I gradually got to a normal size with no major effects (no eating disorders and 3 kids) but I've been in that place and loved having no periods. Loved being skinny but could never starve myself again. I'm a 3 meals a day girl with a couple of snacks and normal periods. Way to go really.

Hate hate hate that. I never used to know I was ovulating until the diarhoea started but since the birth of Heidi I can feel it and boy oh boy to I hate hate hate that. Lucky me never gets blood flow at night for some reason. I was sooo pissed off after Heidi to also get blood flow at night and really really heavy also. Geez that just sucked. Thankfully it stopped and now I once again only have blood flow during the day. I was on the pill from age 17 due to terrible period pain - associated with my Crohns disease. Diane 35 it was called and also did wonders for my skin as super side effect, no pimples or other blemishes while taking it. Loved loved loved that. However after 2 children I find any form of birth control pill sends my mental health spinning into psycho violent bitch. Something to do with hormone changes, my doctor and I experiment for a while and i decided I'd rather deal with the pain and uncertainty of natural period than risk injuring my children because of some drug that was supposed to help. <em>Marita's last blog post..<a href='http://leechbabe.blogspot.com/2008/02/skiffyquiz.html' rel="nofollow">Skiffyquiz!</a></em> I have Crohns disease and from the day I ovulate to the end of my period I get terrible explosive diarhoea.

Why it's considered good to hemorrhage uncontrollably every month is beyond me.) Like shish, when I went off them at age 40 in preparation for attempting to get pregnant, they periods were awful. But I never felt ovulation pain until after having the first child. And the flow increased exponentially. So I'm pretty sure that's childbirth related and not age-related. However, I have my two beautiful children, my tubes are tied, I'm 45 and am SO over having periods. I look forward to menopause, hot flashes and all. As to music, Emerson Lake and Palmer's "C'est La Vie" can usually take me out of myself. <em>Janet's last blog post..<a href='http://adventuresinthe32-akrewood.blogspot.com/2008/02/yes-its-still-me.html' rel="nofollow">Yes, It's Still Me!</a></em> I spent 21 years on birth control pills (for a lovely 5-year-term I had no periods at all, then I went to a female doctor who apparently resented this and put me on a lower dosage because it wasn’t “good” for me to not have periods.

But when I'm angry (for a non-PMS-related reason, of course), I like to listen to Megadeth. There's just something in Dave Mustaine's snarl that I like. And when I'm sad, I put on "Disintegration" by The Cure. I’m pretty sure I’m exempted from this thread, since I have me a Y-chromosome.
