i forget about it too buuuut i hardly have them so that's why 😂

i have pcos and the lack of regular periods is literally the only good thing about it haha. i was 17 when it first started and i bled for 3 months straight 🤬 it was hell having to deal with that and going to school(with limited bathroom breaks and NO hygiene products in the bathrooms). but since then(am 32 now) i've had 1-3 periods per year. and i don't get any of the symptoms either! no cramps, no aches, no cravings, no bloatedness.. nothing. i just bleed for 5 days. it's pretty great.

virtual hug to all my regular period having ladies

3 months?! Omg. That sounds AWFUL. I have always regarded school rules on bathrooms as authoritarian abuse, but that is beyond messed up for your situation.

Whoa, that's cool you barely have to deal with it anymore. I don't know much about PCOS but I hope you are able to deal with the other symptoms okay!

virtual hug right back at ya.
