Show it anywayBloody hell, did I get first? :)
Your comment makes no ******* sense.
Ughm, I don't think any woman would enjoy having their period last longer than it already would.
I think what 1 is implying is that the hospital would implant ones period blood into a "crazy bitch's" body to make her have her period more. Oh, the things people think about.
Hmm, actually 58, I don't think that is what they meant at all. Your comment made as little sense as the first one.
Stupid
Mr. i_wuz_never_here, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this website is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
I make comments like that all the time and i dont have Dain Bramage.
In the same vein, why not donate spit to those with dry mouth?
I thought magic was power.
Well period "blood" isn't even blood.. It's dead tissue... It just looks like blood but doesn't smell or have the same consistency as blood
But it is not all blood... People think its straight up blood, and believe me. I would know. Coming from a girl that is very well dedicated to health class and biology
He just cares about other people I guess :) but FYL op
3, He probably does care about people but I'm guessing he might have been under the influence lol.
It turns out a lot of younger, or uneducated (about the subject) tend to think it's just normal blood, when in reality, it's only a table spoon for your whole cycle. Sorry if I grossed anyone out..
I'm pretty sure i have awakened with a tablespoons worth on a heavy day, so it's more like a quarter cup. The Egg actually gets bigger when it's ready to pop.
are you serious? pretty crazy how i'm a chick & assumed it way waaaay more. :/ way to go health classes!
You're clearly not as educated as you think you are because it's definitely not just a tablespoon per cycle. It probably varies from person to person, but can definitely be more than a tablespoon. Not to be gross, but there are times when I sit on the toilet and can literally feel it just drain out, and it's a hell of a lot more than a tablespoon. Make sure you're properly educated on the topic before you give out incorrect information.
There is no "popping" of the egg. The egg isn't even visible to the eye.
Most of it is tissue that forms, incase you were to get a fertilized egg, so it may seem as if there is lots because trust me, I know, but what I've learned in health class is a table spoon, but I assume that's not completely accurate for everyone, it can vary.
#23 - what #4 is probably referring to is the amount of actual blood in your cycle. The medical estimate is actually a tablespoon of blood per cycle, although this can vary a little per person. Most of the "period blood" is actually tissue and other fluids; there is very little actual blood in your cycle regardless of how heavy or light your flow.
You forget that it isn't even blood too, it's tissue. It's not bleeding, it's the lining of the uterus shedding. So calling it blood is wrong. Obviously there is blood mixed in there but a majority is the uterus' lining.
What I was trying to say came out better in 32 and 35's words, sorry for causing confusion.
#4, I can understand why you would think that. A lot of magazines, incorrectly, mention that but *gross part starts here* the first two days of my cycle, I soak through at least 2 super+ tampons. Maybe a teaspoon a day for those with a lighter flow, but for me, its more like 1/4 of a cup over the entire cycle on the minimum. Sorry if I grossed anyone out but I assume all of us are mature here.
Im going to clarify my first comment: I didn't mean that the only amount of substance that comes out during a cycle is 1 table spoon, but that is the amount of blood. There are, like other commenters said other liquids, and vaginal tissue. This being said it may seem as if there is gallons of blood coming out while on your period, it's not exactly blood, mostly tissue.
It can vary a lot! I have pcos and because of it I've always had really heavy periods. Tmi here but I used to wear an over night pad and another one across the back of my undies ( form a T shape) and a super absorb tampon and would still bleed through all that mid way through the night. Thank god after treating my pcos they arnt that heavy. But I can garuntee some of us girls bleed way more than a spoon! I used be anemic and sick during my periods cause I bled so much.
I know, I bleed more than a spoon, for sure, but most of what is "bleeding" is not a lot of actual blood it contains other things, that can still be very heavy and bleed right through a pad. The reason for this is every cycle, a coating of tissue builds up on the walls on the uterus to prepare a place for a fertilized egg to receive nutrients in its first stages. So your period is when the egg is not fertilized, resulting in no need for the tissue, so along with the egg, and a bit of blood it leaves your body.
49 is right. That's why it's actually called "menstrual fluid." there is a small amount of blood. A period is for shedding the lining of the uterus since there isn't a baby to use it. So you can imagine there is more of the lining than blood. My god people don't like to read, do they?
Im sure most people with the heavier flows lose much more than a tablespoon. I don't have pcos but I lose enough blood that my iron levels drop to levels that make it hard to sit, stand, and walk. I even have trouble moving my arm just to eat because of the low iron. :/
Once again, it is not that only a table spoon comes out, that's the amount of blood. This blood is accompanied by tissue which makes up most of the two cups you mentioned. I'm starting to think people aren't reading the whole comment thread and ignoring what I've been trying to say.
A single tampon holds twice that amount or more. Well mine do. The tissue that does come out doesn't soak into the tampon, it stays on the outside and looks like clots. So the whole bleeding a tbsp is a crock. Every woman's period is different. Doesn't take a genius to know there is more blood than a tbsp. be the gross person saves as much blood as u can and measure it. You'll be surprised about how little tissue does come out vs blood. This is a dumb thing to debate over. Us girls can tell u it's more blood than a tbsp with out measuring it. Well the smart ones can lol
Oh my... This is just embarrassing. DO YOU PEOPLE NOT READ??? And some of you are just being so obstinate about this whole deal that I want to tear my ovaries out! IT HAS BEEN MENTIONED MULTIPLE TIMES that menstrual fluid isn't ONLY BLOOD AND TISSUE. There are OTHER FLUIDS PRESENT AS WELL. Please, please do your research. Yes, the amount of blood can vary. Yes, there is tissue in with the blood. But do NOT selectively ignore that there are other fluids, too! ****, I'm on my period RIGHT NOW and reading this is seriously pissing me off! BUT HEY AT LEAST I TOOK THE TIME TO READ IT ALL UNLIKE SOME OF YOU IGNORAMUSES.
Id jus like to say, as a guy, im so glad i dont bleed every month :p yuck. Although its all gross to think about when my girlfriend complains about it. Its actually better to think of it as all blood then a bloody tissue mixture that consists of your deteriorating uterus wall. Ewww
Apparently the week off of birth control pills contain iron (at least in the ones my friend uses. Do you take the week off ones?
The eggs grow in follicles which "pop" when the egg gets released into the Fallopian tube. That doesn't make the popping comment make sense, but eggs do "pop." At least, that's what I've been told and shown videos of anyways. The human body is truly terrifying.
I'm on my period too, thank you for telling them for me. Some people are too lazy to use their ******* eyes.
That's actually pretty creative...
No that's disgusting. I would rather die considering where it came from and it's not just blood.
#82: Good to know you hate women's bodies that much. I hope for your sake that you never have a sexual relationship with a woman.
I'm a girl and I wouldn't want menstrual fluid in my system either... Dead tissue, and other fluids, from a uterus? No thank you. Doesn't mean I would rather die though.
Meanwhile, Edward in Twilight: "Hmm, this gives me an idea."
Bella: Hey, I'm changing tampons. Would you like some tea, Ed?
*throws up repeatedly*
I shall never forget this image, and for that I hate you solanum.
No it can't, because it lasts for a short period...
And it really isn't even blood. The lining of your uterus is shedding. It's like a self-cleaning oven.
Well...why can't it?
Because it contains tissue from the vaginal walls
Why is that a problem though? Why not filter it out?
Do you want eggs in your blood or something?
Plus you only really have a few teaspoons of actual blood so unless you got it from a million people it wouldn't be worth it
Your blood will smell like fish.
That's so sweet of him to want to do that!! But period blood is just gross :-/ Maybe he can find another use for it lol. Like for those crazy ladies that actually cook placentas and eat them O.O
