@MissJo more from that month

Unusual.

***Hello beautiful people!*** ***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨*** **10th of how many.** Menstruation is a woman's **monthly** bleeding, often called your “period.” When you menstruate, your body discards the monthly buildup of the lining of your uterus (womb). I really look for the definition of menstruation from Google if how often should a girl have a period. Actually I already knew that it should be monthly, atleast 6 days long. However, it was the other way around for me. I was 14 years old back then, when I got my first period. It was normal. The number of days I kept having it. The amount of discards coming from me. It was all normal. I did not even experienced having a dysmennorhea for long, I only have it when it is my first day but will not really last. Yes, that's how lucky I am with my period. I feel bad for other girls experiencing it, because I know that it is not easy. So there, when I got mine first, my mom told me not to take a bath because it is really not good doing it while on period. That was what others told me as well. And of course as a first timer, I listened to them. It was all normal way back. Every month I always have it. Not until in my 2nd year in college. I did not get my period for a certain month, but I just ignored it because as what my mom said it was just a "layag" or a month missed for a period. However, it turned out to be different. I never get to experienced it again for almost 6 months. I am not afraid about getting pregnant as I know to myself that I did not have any contact with anybody, and I do not have a boyfriend as well. With that, I asked my mom to keep me a company to go to an OB-Gyne for a check up. And the doctor said that it was normal. And I felt relieved with it. I did get my period after another month. Things seems to be okay with my menstruation after visiting a doctor. But it happened again during my last year in college. It was 9 months missed of a period. That was too long already for a normal menstruation. Because of that, I visited again a doctor for a check up and she let me drink a certain medicine for 10 days, *I forgot the name of it.* She said that after 10 days, I will get to have a normal menstruation. I actually did. But it is only one day per month, and the amount of discard is very little, it was just like a droplet. But I just kept it that way thinking that atleast I have it every month. When I get here in Cebu to work, the droplets of discards that I am holding into and considering it as normal and alteast I have, completely gone. I did not experienced menstruation anymore. You know what, to be honest, I feel okay with it. Because who would not? Having a period is really uncomfortable. You need to wear sanitary napkins, sometimes I just do not feel like doing anything, my mood changes from time to time, I always wanted to crave for something and I get annoyed easily. And I do not wanted to feel it that way. That is why, sometimes I am feeling happy not having periods every month. Though I know it is really not normal for a woman to have that unusual menstruation and maybe there is really something wrong with my body. That's when I decided to visit a doctor again with a friend before the pandemic. My friend actually is experiencing the same but it is because she has a PCOS. You know, I was prescribed with the same medicine. But nothing actually happened. I never got my period anymore. I just laughed out if it thinking that maybe I am already menopause. I am getting used to not having it anymore. It is almost a year or a year already maybe that I did not have my menstruation. For some reason I am okay, but I know to myself that I am not. I am planning to visit a doctor again but I am afraid to do so because of the pandemic. I am afraid to get exposed outside especially in hospitals. Sometimes I am getting insecure for other girls having it every month because they are really a normal girl compared to what I am experiencing. And I may admit, I am afraid to know what really the reason it could be. I am thinking that maybe I have this certain sickness or what ever it could be. I am not ready to know about it. But yes, I hope that I will have the courage to get a check up and know really what causes me to have this unusual menstruation. ***That's all for today beautiful people.
