Today, I found out that I puke and then pass out at the sight of blood. I am a 16 year old girl expecting hundreds of periods to come. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, at the ripe age of 20, I spent the early hours of my morning violently vomiting blood every time I got too warm. I then had the pleasure of shitting in a plastic container for a stool sample, due to said problem, after one and half hours of sleep. FML
Today, I fainted in the lunch line at school due to extreme period cramps, and ended up having to get seven stitches on my face. This is the third time I've fainted because of my period this year. FML
Today, I got diagnosed with stomach ulcers. They are very painful, and I have been throwing up blood. On my latest trip to the toilet, I was heaving and the pain was making me beat the floor with my fist, the toilet lid decided to come crashing down on my head, giving me a minor concussion. FML
Today, I was leaving school to get tested for peptic ulcers, because my stomach has been hurting for a few months. To wish me luck, one of my friends gave me a friendly punch in the stomach. I threw up blood. FML
Today, I had to go through the embarrassment and pain of telling my parents I was pregnant. I took the test and it came out positive and I was freaking out. I got grounded for the rest of the year and they're really disappointed in me. Five minutes ago, I got my period. FML
Today, I got my period at school. I didn't notice until a boy asked me if I'd killed someone in my pants. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I've missed my period, and that I think I might be pregnant. He started panicking and ended up puking in the toilet. FML
Today, I found my daughter sobbing and trying to stick a wad of gauze to her vagina. She was having her first period. FML
Today, after I went in for surgery, I came out of extremely anemic from blood loss. As soon as I got home, I started my period. FML
Today, I woke up bleeding from every orifice in my body. I've got a nose bleed from my medication, my gums bled when I brushed my teeth, I'm on my period, and I have hemorrhoids. FML

Ibuprofen (advil, motrin, etc) helps with cramps. Just an fyi. It may not work for everybody.

So you're telling me there are no blood vessels in the lining of your uterus? That's strange because I thought all tissue needed nutrients from blood vessels to survive. Huh. Also, if you actually "study health," you'd know that the amount of material shed during a menstrual period depends on the individual. While the average may be 1/4 cup as you say, this varies from woman to woman and from month to month. Sorry sweetie, but I'm afraid you need to take more than one junior high health class in order to qualify as having "studied health."

Most of these comments are either a) "you've never seen blood before?!" or b) "period blood doesn't look the same." Perhaps the second answers the first? The post was vague, but if she just got her period, maybe the sight of that-- period blood/gunk specifically, not just normal blood-- is actually what freaks her out. I'm guessing she *saw* the difference without being able to *name* it, and her body responded automatically. Also, having a period feels exactly like what it is: pieces of your insides ripping apart and flushing themselves out. Yuck.

Generally most people who get queasy/nauseous at the sight of blood are fine with seeing their own blood. And often it's the pain associated with the blood (if it's your own blood) which contributes to the nausea - so having a period is very different. You'll be fine. And to everyone laying into her for not having her periods yet: LAY OFF! Holy GEEZ. It's not like she can help it! I didn't start til I was 14, I know a girl who didn't start til she was almost 18. Once upon a time 16 was the average age to start your periods.

Erm, there is still blood along with the uterus lining. I feel sorry for people who end up being your patients.

And to everyone all like "omg how have you not seen blood before??" ... chances are she has and her reaction to it has changed. When i was a kid I NEVER got queasy at the sight of blood but when I hit highschool I had a few incidents where I did get queasy, then I grew out of it again.

How in the world is there no blood in what you menstruate? And what exactly do you call it then? When I first got my period it didn't go away for 7 or 8 months, heavy the whole time. I was very shy/stupid and didn't tell anyone what was going on because I was embarrassed. (I have no idea how my mom didn't pick up on it since she was buying me a new box of tampons every week?) Finally, I said something and was taken to the doctor immediately... Turns out I was anemic due to all the blood I was losing. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/anemia/anemia_causes.html It even says there a cause of anemia is blood loss, and heavy menstrual cycles are an example they give.

depo is a birth control shot that you get in the butt so you don't see the blood from it and most women completely stop having periods by the third shot
