Image ID: a black and orange image of Sisyphus pushing up a boulder. The boulder is labeled “the fucking menstrual cycle”.

A few days after my period ends I just blissfully forget about it until one day I wake up and notice my crotch looks like someone was murdered there. Super duper fun.

The thing you call “Image ID” (for whatever reason) is actually called “alt text”

Image ID is an older term than “alt text”

Have you tried growing your penis out?

I did and it stopped my periods before they even started! 😎

I keep telling my gf this is the solution anytime she complains about it.

She does not seem to be up for the idea though.

I love menopause so so much. It’s been a breeze for me.

That’s good to hear. Thank you. I’ve never heard anyone say that before!

Mine was easy too, no hot flashes or anything, don’t even know when it happened since I had the IUD. but got the MHT, low dose estrogen & progesterone, because I was getting bladder infections and worried about osteoporosis (family history) realized I did have some symptoms because my balance came back (standing in one foot balance not like mental balance) and my thinking cleared up some, I was foggy but just figured it was normal. I freaking love this routine except for the fact that it’s made me medium sized rather than slender, which is a mindfuck - I feel really good otherwise, both in body and mind. And the weight gain increased my bone mass so I can’t even lose it.

I think it’s 50% of women get symptoms like hot flashes - that’s a big chunk but certainly not everyone.

Get on psych meds and it’s a breeze. I’ve had no symptoms other than the odd period of being hot at night, can’t really call it a flash.

Just remember as you sit outside in these summer evenings enjoying an open container, watching the sunset, that female bats still fly when they menstruate.
