Today, someone said that women shouldn’t hate their menstrual cycles, because the hormonal changes were so "interesting". Sure, that’s the word I’d use for alternating between cramps and zits, being an insatiable nymphomaniac, and being so depressed I want to die. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after spending two days spiraling out of control with my thoughts and online searches over my husband not being attracted to me, and our marriage being over, I realized it was just the week before my period insanity. I get to know I'm gonna bleed when the intrusive thoughts start to win. Being a woman is so fun. FML
Today, my girlfriend will only have sex when she's on her period, because it's the only time she gets horny. She also gets body acne, bloating, and utterly foul BO and gas. The sex is so unpleasant, I'm starting to wish she just got cranky and emotional. FML
Today, my body has always been in a perfect cycle. The week after my ovulation, I start getting (in order, on a daily basis) dryness, itching, low energy, depression, manic mood swings, loss of appetite, bloating, and finally, when the back pain comes, my period. It all hit me in one day. Why? FML
Today, I started my period, complete with cramps, diarrhoea, a headache, bloating, and aching legs. Apparently my body didn't get the message that I had a total hysterectomy a month ago, including my ovaries, tubes and cervix. FML
Today, I found out that other than having to deal with cramps, headaches, PMS, PMDD, and all the other crap that comes along with periods, that it's also not uncommon to have painful gas during that time. 5 days left. FML
Today, I realized that my wife is such a bitch normally, she's actually nicer when she is on her period. FML
Today, I’ve finished all my cancer treatments but my body is putting me through the wringer again. I got my first period after not having one for nearly a year, and with it has come all sorts of hormonal issues including cramping, mood swings, hot flashes, and heinous BO! It’s worse than puberty! FML
Today, my wife has been using "pregnancy hormones" as an excuse for absolutely everything. Spills a milkshake in bed at one in the morning? Pregnancy hormones! Cries about a hole in her sock? Pregnancy hormones! Gets caught fucking her coworker? Pregnancy hormones! FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were talking about being super heroes. He said I could be "The Period" because I'm a bitch. FML
Today, I'm apparently so desperate for companionship that my body has subconsciously synced my period with the girl who works in the cubicle adjacent to mine. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You forgot to mention the cramps that hurt so bad they make you puke, the migraines, the digestive side effects. The cycle is extremely NOT interesting, and extremely difficult to cope with!

Uh.. hormonal changes can only do so much before it becomes an abnormal issue.

Depends on the person. I’m 33, I have for about 8 years had symptoms of early menopause, and yet every single test I’ve done (multiple per year) have cone back fine. I have spoken to multiple doctors, and have even fallen pregnant, and yet the symptoms continue. My headaches get so bad I cannot see and the only thing that kills it is time, or knocking my self out on heavy doses of pain medication for the same length of time. Not even s8 restricted level pain killers stop the pain, and this pain is caused by a cramping trapezius, that cramps up to a knot the size a golf ball in the back of my neck because of changes in hormone levels, for three days every month. And no they don’t know why my neck and shoulder muscles spasms on the last day of my period, for exactly three days, and has been doing so going on 4 years now. No amount of massage, neck adjustment, acupuncture etc has resolved it.

Was it a guy that said that? Probably.

Or it could be a female who lucked out and got extremely mild menstruation symptoms.

Bet after a few hours of having a period they’d change that tune right quick.
