I am not sure what you mean by a 'persona'. Do you mean calling it AF? I don't know why that is - personally I don't call it that. I call *it* my period. I imagine the term AF came as it is shorter for cyber purposes...????

If you have been trying to conceive a child and month after month your period arrives - it can get pretty tiresome. Or, if you are like me and have lost multiple babies it heralds yet another month where the dream cannot be a reality.

I personally try not to treat my body and what it does with hostility... It is not always true to say that a period tells us our body is working properly. Some women don't menstruate regularly, have heavy painful periods with many other physical symptoms. I think it's quite human and understandable to greet the beginning of this "period" with a degree of regret and sadness when you are trying to conceive. At other times in life I have felt a great deal of relief and happiness. It is about cycles and stages...

I know for me personally when a period arrives I feel sad at the loss of that particular months possibilities. A day or two later I often feel a degree of excitement at the possibilities that may be in store. It is a *cycle*, our bodies work in cycles and so do our emotions...
