What are your periods like? I’m a woman+get periods too but I’ve always wondered whether the stats for how much we’re supposed to bleed and cramp are accurate to people’s real experiences. It’s hard to tell what a “normal” period is if we don’t talk

I’m back on the pill after a small break. My period is so chill (on the pill especially) that don’t need a towel for period sex, and I “free bled” last night and slept on a towel and there was nothing stained this morning. But when I get up to pee, that is when I pass some small clots.

anything that is pervading your ability to live your normal life is worth addressing with a gyno. mama doctor jones on youtube is an ob-gyn who makes good informational videos answering questions about that type of stuff.

Uhh… why would a man want to know like, how many days a period is? And why would he need to pretend to be a woman to ask that? Both men and women ask stuff in this community which is why I specified…

I knew the post sounded weird but I’ll always take a chance to educate people about periods and how much they can vary

I actually really appreciated your response. Personally I wish my flow was light enough to free bleed! Even if it is light I have zero trust bc it’s not consistent. Although I also find it’s a bit lighter at night
