    So, anyone else kind of like having their period???

    Yup, just gonna put it out there! I kind of like it.

    I like it extra especially lately since it's been so regular, I'm feeling like my body is actually doing what its meant to be doing! About 34-36 days recently, and I just feel great! Very happy when it comes, good to know my body is actually working right, and I really like using my cloth pads. I worked out how to use them at work, and have been using them at work for about 6 months now.
    They don't hurt much since I've had Jazz, even though they are quite heavy and still a full 7 days.

    I dunno... I just sort of like it. Anyone else? Help me feel less weird! I mean, by like I don't wish it happened more often but I don't curse it... Most woman I know curse the whole way through "fricken woman's things, I hate being a woman, men don't have to put up with this crap, it's so disgusting etc etc etc etc...".

    Menstruation appreciation group anyone? lol

    I know what you mean, I never minded AF either. Mind you haven't had one for 20 months lol!
    I remember when I came off the pill to TTC, I loved that everything was "working on it's own" ITMS?

    Glad to hear the cloth pads are working out away from home!

    The only thing I like about it....."Sorry dear, not tonight, I have my period" Suppose I can't use that excuse for a while

    I went to school with a girl who girl who called AF My Friend

    When I was TTC I liked AF as that told me my body was working and it was only a matter of time.
    I don't dislike getting my period, I have never been one to think it's a curse and why why me.
    I now have a Mirena in...I do like the fact it has stopped my periods, certainly wouldn't be upset if AF showed. It really is just all about being a girl and I love being a girl

    i WAS liking it for a while - after TTC for so long, to get a semi regular AF (about 7 weeks - so not normal but regular) was great. now she is awol again, so i hate her again!

    Yeah i agree with BG; even with TTC, i didn't mind it when it was regular...but when it's all over the place, makes me angry! Like this 9 week cycle

    *edit* An I just bought a meluna cup, so i'm soooo excited to use it...and thinking about getting a few cloth pads too, because they're pretty

    I actually don't mind it to be honest - except for the really painful ones

    I really really really want to see AF in a couple of days I like the reassurance each month that I am not utd

    I have never minded having it, but I have been lucky with a reasonable flow and hardly ever any cramps.
