This is my least favorite day of the month. My back aches, I have weird bruises and my gums are swollen and tender (they only get that way right before my period starts). While the nuvaring has made it so I don't get migraines (I haven't gotten any menstrual ones since I went on the ring) but I don't like how I get this day every 4 weeks instead of every 6 weeks.

At least I have ibuprofen. Sometimes I think about having these annoying pains 150 years ago and having to work through them and I am pretty thankful.

i'm so not looking forward to the return of my period. two years without - i'm totally spoiled.

i have a feeling i'm going to be a whiny crybaby or an ungodly bitch until i get back into the swing of things...

That's really interesting that the ring has helped stave off migraines. At the PP I thought migraines took estrogen-containing methods off the table.

not just ibuprofen

So, this is interesting, but...

At those times of the month, you know what helps me? Is if I take iron supplements the week before it starts, as well as folic acic, and I drink tons of water. I don't know why that seems to help, but it just does.
