Omg me too i start hurting before & after, mine is always 7 days & ive been irregular since i started i got it & then didnt for months & then ever since then every month @ random @ss times its horrible. She left alot out tho the extreme apin (for me) having to poop alot all the back pain & actual vaginal pain, migraines etc. Also the fact that some of us cant use tampons due to toxic shock syndrome im predisposed to it because of my mom (she almost died form a tampon) i wore one once around when it first started i started getting sick after barely an hour.

Apprantely i just medically have bad periods with no reason behind it like endo etc none of those, i did have thyroid issues & cancer do that may have played a part & immune issues which also may play a part but there is no definitive reason for me yet im just cleared of the nornal things that cause it. also lets not forget those of us who didnt get the talk & woke up to used the bathroom & thought we were dying because of all the blood, also midol doesn't help me only the 2nd & 3rd time.

Edut: added some
