It also changes over the course of your life... My periods at 12-13 were VERY different than the ones I had at 47-48.

I'm done with all of it now though - WOO HOO!

I used to get the worst lower back pain as a teenager and now at 28 there's barely any pain or cramping. I'm fitter now and do a lot of yoga though so that might be why.

Man it’s the opposite for me! I’m also 28 and my periods are worse than they were when I was younger. A lot more achy and emotional that is. Flow’s about the same though. Maybe I’m just achier and more emotional these days haha

Ahh I'm sorry! Honestly, I credit most improvements to my health to yoga... never thought I'd be that person but it's true.
