DH always knows when it starts from the undies I wear. LMAO

Mine are shorter now, but it was only 4 days long to begin with and now it's about 3 days long but the reason mine got shorter was because I've lost about 50lbs a couple of years ago and hormone productive is directly related to bodyfat%. I'll be 28 in a few months but lately I've noticed that in those three days my period will slow down (it starts really heavy, I start with super plus tamponds and work down to regulars on my light days) and take a break for a good 6-10 or whatever and then finish up. That and now I know when I'm ovualating because I'll start to feel like I'm having my period but when I check it's that clingy mucus or whatever it's called.

I have noticed Its not a bad thing, but strange that it is changing Does this mean we are getting closer and closer to menopause when it stops altogether??

Thats what I was worrying about too!
I`ve noticed too that for a week before I start getting funny skin on my upper arms, kinda like ezcema but not really itchy. That started a year ago. Im only 32 with the mental age of a 12 year old!

Mine have always been about 3-4 days. They are now about 3 days. I don't envy the ones that had it for 7 or more days!

I am 21 and I don't see them getting shorter, probably because I am young. (not that anyo of you are old.. ) they are long like a week long, atleast it seems like it.

Well I've lost close to 100lbs, so that could be it too! Thanks for bringing it up!

Oh no, honey, you aren't. I have some, in fact, almost every girl I know has some too. You are not alone.

Me too! Mine are all black cotton, they don't show stains!


I've actually noticed mine getting longer and longer all the time, and I'm 21. It seems like they go on and on forever!

I am the same way, maddensmom and I am 21, too. I thought for some reason you were older.

I'm 25 and I've noticed that mine are shorter but I also get bad PMS now. I didn't when I was a teenager.

I'm 26 and mine aren't as long as they used to be now they 4 to 5 days but the first day I am in so much pain they I get to point that I am in tears.

I just realized the other day that you were 21 as well! I always thought you were older!


I wonder if (and this is strictly a guess) its b/c we are supposedly in our most fertile time period? I hate it though!

I have them too...all started as regular underwear but switched over after an "accident".

Yup, I get sad when I have to switch over some...especially new ones.

Stupid period.

I had relativly normal periods for years, about 3-5 days. Then I went off the pill for a few years, everything stayed normal. Then Just last year I went back on the pill and all Heck broke loos. I started haveing 2-3 periods a month, each one 5-7 days long. I would have a day or two off at a time. This went on for a year. I posted a thread about what my doctor said about a month ago. I was put on Ortho Nuevra(sp?). Its like double the dose than what I was on. Its been one month and every thing seems good. My period this month was 3 days with NO break through bleeding . I did notice thought that my PMS symptoms are a bit worse. Tired, headache, moodyness and all that jazz but hey at least its only once a month.

My DH knows when I start because I tell him. I am lucky I can talk to him about it for days and it won't bother him. He even likes to go to the doctor with me. Every time he has more questions than I do. He likes to know I am healthy, plus the whole 2-3 times amonth was putting major strain on the marital relations thing . I have noticed that I have more drive now and its about to kill him.

Oh yea I will be 30 in April.

Yeah, I tell Jeremy too, though considering the way I behave a day or two before I start, he probably already knows before I say anything

DH tracks my period on Outlook Calendar. When it starts & stops. Darn pc died Sunday so I am at a lost of when I get it next, but I think it is soon. When I am near the end he asks "how's the period today?" I normally lie by a day or two. I know what he is getting at.
