The next time you’re curled up in a ball, holding a heating pad in one hand and a milkshake in the other while a wolverine ravages your uterus, don’t resign yourself to watching Nicholas Sparks movies for the week.



Menstruation is no reason to feel bad about yourself, so cheer up with this Ms. Blog playlist of songs about periods! Some are funny, some are angry and one or two are even—gasp!—sexy.

1. I can't tell you how glad, thrilled, ecstatic I am

that I have passed that point.

I suffered miserably in my younger years. So glad to be done with it for GOOD.

2. You and me both~

2 days every month missed from school,for excruciating cramps,and the flow! oh the flow

3. Or work. It was horrible.

And the male doctors (and even one female) saying the following things to me when I went for help:

"Try exercise" In those days I ran 7 miles a day. I was quite obviously in good shape. When told my exercise regimen, which was not only running, but swimming and biking, he said with a chuckle, "Well think how bad it would be if you didn't." GAH!

"You should get pregnant" Actually said to me by a doctor at my university. (Barely 20 and also a gay woman)

"Try aspirin" Yeah, why don't I kick you in the nuts and give you some aspirin afterwards.

"It's normal" No comment

It's in your head; it's not that bad." GAH!

I could go on and on.

4. Yes!! I've heard

it all too! I would start to feel like a nut sometimes,thinking it was in my head.

Or "I could not take pain".

I even stood my labor pains without much fuss,guess I was used to pain by then.
