lady problems

Hello my sexy french fries

I wasn't going to share this publicly, but the situation I was in is so dumb. Plus 99.775% of my audience is female so I feel like talking about some lady problems is okay

Right. Periods. I hate them, we all hate them, there's not a woman who says "wow I sure can't wait to bleed and be in pain for days haha"

Well guess what, I said that. Let me tell you why.

My cycle is pretty darn consistent. 27-29 days, 4-5 day period. I am used to this, I have been for 5 years now. (Plus an app Flo helps me keep track of stuff, I recommend if you don't have it)

So, I had my period in the beginning of May, naturally I'm already thinking about June. I was annoyed because it was supposed to start one day before my exam blah blah nothing to worry about.

I completely forgot about it until one week and a half into June I opened up my Flo app. I hadn't opened it in a couple of weeks because I forgot about it.

You know what I see?

"Period late 7 days"

This had never happened before. The longest my period had been late was 3 days, probably because I was sick for two weeks that month.

So I'm a bit worried, but I brush it off thinking it will come soon.

It doesn't.

My exams ended on June 18th. At that point I was late for 14 days.

I figured it was stress from exams and now that they were over it was going to be okay. But no.

20 days passed and nothing. I started thinking "what if I am pregnant?" Because I had this phase not too long ago when I literally wanted a child and felt like a mother.

However, I'm as sexually active as a house plant.

25 days pass. I'm so conceived I'm pregnant at this point that I start thinking of what to do, how to tell mom, what names should I pick, how am I going to raise a child and so on. Dumb. I knew I wasn't pregnant but the fear was too much.

30 days pass. Me, a non religious person, starts praying to any God for my period. Reason? I have a trip in two days and I didn't want it to come during my trip.

Why? Well because I'm going to the beach for a week and I want to swim. When I was in Latvia for a day I was on my period, it was so uncomfortable and I couldn't swim and I had cramps. Ugh.

Day 32. I literally looked up home ways to check if I'm pregnant. One of the ways was "sugar test". Basically you put sugar in a cup, then pee in the cup and if the sugar clumps up you're pregnant. If it dissolves you're not.

The sugar dissolved.

Pregnancy fear OUT, trip fear IN.

Day 37. I woke up before my alarm, went to a bathroom and... there it was. I have not been that happy in a while.

I'm currently on day four and my trip is in 5 days, so I'll be period free!!!!!

Anyway next time yours is late don't panic and do stupid shit like me
