AF Question

Mon, 01-17-2005 - 1:47pm

So, I was a tad early, and that, I think, was the reason for nothing fitting AT ALL. Strange. Cuz I put on one of the pairs of pants I bought, and I'm floating in them.


Does anyone else here deal with this? Like you gain a half to full size during your time of the month? What is up with that?


Anyhow. I still need to lose weight though. Getting fat. lol.

Well, I'm a fairly lucky person in terms of AF.

Well, I had taken the primrose, but like I said, I thought it was supposed to come this week, not LAST week. lol. So that means I would've "started on that too late". But, yes, she got me hooked on that too, I'm trying. I'm so horrible at taking pills though, but still, trying. Just this week threw me off.


And trust me, I am KEEPING the "big" pants for next months AF. I'm sure I'll need them. so sad, but so true.


Oh well, we'll figure something out. My cycle is all weird. The last 4 months, they have been starting on the 19th of every month. Which is normal for me. One month exactly. So weird that I started about 5 days earlier.

OMG, I understand completely. I cannot believe how I expand for a few days each month. I actaully feel like I am "carrying" extra weight, like I put on one of those "fat suit" things. It's so gross.

I'm tired of AF already, and I'm only 31. I have so many more to go. I too am taking primrose oil. I think it does help a bit, but I do need to talk to my doctor when I have my physical about better pain management. It has gotten worse over the last few years.

I actually have some clothes for that time though, a nice black dress and a few other outfits that I wear around AF visit. They hide the expando waist and are comfortable.

Hugs. It's nice to know I'm not alone in dealing with this. It sucks though.

Ah.......making sense now!! I totally understand- I usually am NOT at ALL happy with whatever I wear that week, but the following week something that made me feel like the Michelin (sp?)

I definitely notice a size change during that time.
