effing ridiculous.

So, my mid-twenties seems to be biting hard physiologically. I've had to change my skincare and now my period has decided unpredictabilty and intense pain aren't enough. Now, as this second time in a row has proved, cycling further than the period gods decree to be reasonable means I turn up at my destination overcome by wooziness and pain and promptly throw up in front of everyone. Just wonderful.

On the other hand, I think my moods may be more stable these days than they've been since the age of ten. Though I'm still truculent enough to post this. Becoz I iz annoyed. And there's a delay on my appointment.

So glad I'm past that part of reproductive life. A suggestion: If you find yourself going too long between periods, you could eat something with a lot of rosemary in it. It stimulates uterine contractions and gets the period to start. Just be careful not to overdo it --- I did once and nearly passed out from the intense and sudden onset of my period.

I actually tend to prefer when they're further apart! Sometimes it does make them heavier, but I find they're such a faff whatever that I prefer to win out by having fewer over the course of the year... But that sounds like a good tip!
