I too just want this to be over with NOW. LOL

I often think of Archie Bunker telling Edith she had just 5 minutes to get this chage business done with and get back to normal. If ONLY it were that easy!

I don't have any advice, but wanted to jump in with the others in letting you know you are NOT alone!

LOL! thanks! I agree with Archie!! LOL have you ever had your period and then a few weeks later bleed again? this happened to me yesterday...I thought I was starting again but it was just for the day....I to get more emotional and my fuse is a little shorter than it used to be....I realize this and try to control it...of course my husband doesn't help!! and I tell him to just let me be but, you know how men can be... I use the always thin pads with wings....I never noticed this before but on the (wing) paper it says "have a happy period" I called my husband in the bathroom and said CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS!!! HAVE A HAPPY PERIOD! had to be a man that came up with that one! well hundreds of woman before went through it and now it's our time but ENOUGH ALREADY!!
