I'll just say this. A period is God's way of telling you you're not pregnant. Sometimes that can make you feel pretty good. Wow, I’ll bet I’m your only male comment on this spot. I’ll just say this.

I did a happy dance after my uterus was removed and I didn't have a period anymore. Okay, like three weeks after because right after it hurt to wear pants, much less dance.

I was what one might call a hard core swimmer, so much so that I was working out so much, my body just didn't care if it "matured" or not, so I got my period the summer before I turned 14 - about 4 years later than all my friends. It was the Friday before state championships ... and I was slated to win big. I remember thinking oh S! my mother's gonna freak out... she was not real "involved" and by that I mean she liked a splash of margarita mix with her tequilla - especially on a Friday before a weekend that would not be all about her. So I devised a plan to bring her another drink and slyly mention that I might have possibly started my period but there was no reason to worry, I'd already called my father. Doing just that, she said "good, because I'm not quite sure how those tampon things work, and you still better win your meet this weekend because I'm not traveling across the state to come home a loser." Emabarrasment of all emabarrasments, my father volunteered to discuss the engineering and architecture of tampons with me - I figured the rest out for myself ... and I kicked butt at state! oh let me tell you about swimming and first periods!
