Why does being a girl have to suck so bad?? During my period (which is very light and sometimes no flow but still have symptoms..I have Mirena an IUD and I LOVE IT) I always get sore boobs, gain 5 pounds, eat like crazy and cry. I also get a nice visit from my GI tract with pudding like d* and sometimes watery and horrid n* after eating. Today I had a productive day and even enjoyed a nice glass of chilled moscato but I just had to vent about being a girl and periods are stupid
