moon syncing tip:

stop working during your bleed! i know there are those of you that go to school or go to work and are unable to take days of of work, but if possible, try to take off the first day of your bleed each month. when that’s not possible, do NO EXTRA WORK. create a system in your home where those who occupy your space with you are able to take care of you during that time of the month. if you live alone, plan your meals ahead + clean your home ahead of time. your bleed is meant to be a time to rest for a reason. you’re experiencing multiple bodily functions at once and your body needs to to recuperate so that this time can actually be used as a time for replenishment + rejuvenation. as women, it’s important that we start taking that time of the month very seriously.

I think it's kinda crazy how a concerning amount of women I know have fucked up period cycles.

💀 nobody talks about it, you expect that everyone is going to have a normal monthly cycle But NOOO, there are people menstruating for months in a row, even years sometimes and they have no clue of why. And the doctors never know what to do or to say! Bc nobody does!! The only thing that's prescribed are birth control pills 💀

Ot sometimes they don't have any periods at all for months. Last year I had 3 periods total, it's been 3 months since my last. The doctor has no idea why, my hormone balance is basically perfect. Ughh I don't want to take birth control pills!!!!!

#maiposting #menstrual cycle #theres this lady i know that her uterus just “got big” and shes been bleeding nonstop for years... she will have to remove it!

Hi, I feel like this is important information, but I feel bad about trying to put it here.

If you are having really heavy periods, please get iron labs done. Heavy periods can make you anemic, and you don't want to be anemic, because it does weird things to your body.

Also, from what I've heard, iron infusions aren't very fun, so you'd much rather catch it quickly.

Hi Anon!

Great tip! Why feel bad? We're all here for the good info, right?

You're absolutely right that the risk for anemia is something we consider with people who have heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding. This is why it's important to have a good grasp of your own menstrual history, and be willing to share it with your provider. If you report heavy bleeding -- especially with symptoms like fatigue, feeling cold all the time, or easy bruising -- your provider will ask for some bloodwork called a CBC (complete blood count) and an iron study. These numbers will let us know if you are anemic.

Menstruating people can also prophylactically take a daily iron supplement, and eat lots of leafy greens! (I recommend ferrous sulfate or a slow-release iron tablet to reduce risk of stomach ache).

If you do get anemia, however, iron transfusions really are not bad! The disease is definitely worse than the cure. They just take up time. It's an IV, and you have to hang out in an infusion center for about an hour x3-5 times, but the medication itself does not make you feel ill. The fatigue of anemia is the thing that really sucks!

Thanks for the prompt, Anon!

Period Post!

I love love love when I begin my bleeding cycle. It’s when I am the most in tune with mind, body, soul and universe. It wasn’t always this way tho.

Ever since I started menstruating (at age 10 I think) my periods were heavy metal, meaning I would bleed through both a tampon and a pad and be in so much pain I physically couldn’t stand up straight. Everything was awful on my period and finally my mom brought me in to the doctor to see what we could do. He prescribed me birth control. Surprised? Probably not. Womben are so quickly given pills and heavy medications to put into their bodies when they simply just need to know what’s going on. He never walked me through balancing my hormones or discussed progesterone or nothing. Gave me this pill, it’ll fix all my problems. For a while I loved the pill, I set an alarm on my phone, took it every day, my doctor gave me a type I would stack for three months and then stop taking them for a week so I could bleed. That week was always fucked cus it takes a long time to get out of your system so by the time I would bleed I would start taking the pills again. I’m gonna wrap it up: I took birth control for about 12 years.

Fast forward: I’ve come off the pill, spent the time necessary to cleanse my body of the pill. My periods took a while to be some regular and coming off the pill they were just as heavy and painful as before. The things that changed my life are proper education, appreciation for my womb, following the right people on social media, herbal remedies and rituals.

It’s so important to learn that the time that we run on is built around mens bodies, as are most things. We have different cycles and our timing is divine and if we can connect to it, life gets easier. Learn the 4 phases of your cycle; inner summer, inner fall, inner winter and inner spring. I’m in spring rn and I’m feeling like I’m blossoming into my next phase of life, energetic, hot af, and connected.

Herbal medicine has impacted my life in many ways but nothing seems as significant as my period. One cup of this tea and my cramps are completely GONE! Use equal parts chopped cinnamon bark and chopped dried ginger or freshly grated ginger root and honey to taste if you like. For one cup of tea use 1 teaspoon of ingredients. I have this tea every bleed and it instantly helps.

A big thing I learned is you want to keep your womb warm to avoid pains. Keep your feet warm, don’t eat cold foods, your jaw and pelvis are connected so always try to relax your jaw, singing and sighing are wonderful. Also you are what you eat (in the nicest way) so if you haven’t already made a change to be more aware of what your putting in your body definitely do it now. What you intake will be the factors that balance your hormones. Something important to note is food is everything that is consumed; what you eat, what you watch, what you listen to and what you say to yourself.

A huge part is learning to love your period. Menstruation is the beginning of time and your womb is a portal. Around every 28 days depending on your own cycle, you go through death and rebirth. It’s sacred and powerful. Look into some ancient stories of worshipping menstrual blood and figure out some rituals and practices that inspire you. For example I love giving my blood back to the earth. I free bleed so I rinse my underwear in water in a jar and then pour the water onto my plants or the trees roots outside. Once your blood is healthy and free of toxins from pills and what not, it has so many healing factors for life in all aspects. I also love to use my finger to gently collect some blood directly from my body and place a dot on my forehead where the third eye is. It’s beneficial as a face mask as well. Also note that your first bleed is the most powerful!

I got so much important and beneficial info from Womben Wellness who you can find on Instagram under that name and also Facebook. The womban that runs it name is Usha and she does actual courses on this type of shit! She also does free educational zoom calls every once in a while that I tune in to. You could just google Womben Wellness as well, but definitely look into her she’s amazing. I get my divine love for my cycle from Goddess Molding who you can find on Instagram as well with that name, she also has a website where she sells sacred ceremony handmade items. She’s the one that shared all those bullet points in the last photo.

I could go on for EVER about this stuff, I’m so passionate about it now that I’ve learned some basic stuff that they didn’t teach us. I’m worried I’ve gone on too long so I’m finishing up now. Definitely check out those womben I recommended, they will explain everything a lot better and more beautiful than I did. Also note that every body is different and responds in different ways. It’s really figuring out what path YOU should take, what works for your body specifically and taking responsibility for your health. No one else is going to fix your body for you, and that was the hardest pill to swallow. Also remember that your womb is not separate from your body, any other health issues you have could be impacting your period. Going down this road could expose a lot of other health issues.

Mother Nature: “Have babies!!!”

Me: “No I don’t wanna.”

Mother Nature: “Fine, then you’re going to experience debilitating pain and wear vagina diapers once a month.”

Me, downing an Ibuprofen: “Fuck you.”

Today on people need to be clearer when talking about menstrual health:

The definition of "Heavy Bleeding" needs to be more descriptive. Every place I've seen it talked about only defines it with how frequently you soak your pad/tampon

For the first time today I saw blood clot size referenced and hey if you are having blood clots larger than like a grape you probably also have heavy bleeding! Congratz!
