I didnt tell my mum that I was having periods till about a year after I started having them There was a pack of tampons in the basement bathroom that no one ever used (guess mum didnt like them....) and I lived off of thoes for a while. When I eventually did tell her I was more worried about her saying "Awww my little girl is finally a woman!" and telling her coworkers. I dont rememeber if this happened or not....

As for the acctual shopping of bras, I'm never ever ever in the mood for looking for them. And my mum tries to get me the ones that are basically just a peice of spandex in the shape of two triangles with straps, which is fine for a while but after a bit they're just not fun anymore and totally uncomfy.

Lately I've been going bra-less Quite fun.

Well, my brother found out that my girlfriend and I boned on his bed and he was not pleased. Hopefuuly he won't find out about everyone else...

The only hairs on my chest, are on my nipples. And I have three nipples!

I couldn't find a bra this morning. I've been going bra-less the whole day.

My mom felt the need to tell me that she went to the gynacologist (sp?) and they screwed up her pap smear, so they had to do it again, to which they informed her that she had numerous infections.

I did NOT want to know this. The last time she told me she went to the gynacologist she felt the need to explain (complete with hand motions and odd noises) how they inserted insturments into her.

I haven't had an erection in weeks.

I'm really very worried.

Noises? hehehehe.

Well, you ARE supposed to go to the gynecologist around the time you're 15-18 (depending on if you're sexually active and/or if you have any lady problems). Maybe she was just trying to prepare you for what to expect? It can be a pretty weird experience the first time, even when you DO know what'll happen.

For instance, consider my first trip to the gynecologist. Which I would never discuss if it wasn't the TMI thread. I was having seriously bad cramps...so much so that I threw up. So anyway, Mom prepares me for going there and everything, telling me about stirrups and what my gynecologist's nurse affectionally refers to as "the duck."

So we get there, they ask if I'm sexually active, when my last period was (I was a virgin at the time), blah blah. Then the time comes to put my feet up in the stirrups. The doctor said he didn't want to break my hymen, so he poked around in my bottom with a lubed up, gloved finger...with the other hand on my abdomen to feel around and see if there was any weirdness.

I had NO IDEA THAT THEY DID THAT. I was a bit scared by the idea of the speculum because I'd never even so much as used a tampon...but I did not know he would want to have anything to do with MY BUTT. So yeah, the point of that particular way way way TMI story was to show that more knowledge is better in such situations, cause then you know what to expect when it's time for you to go.

PS: Righteous, didn't he tell people they could have sex on your bed? That's kinda hypocritical if so...

PPS: at all of you who have the option to go braless.

Cand, you got a male doctor?? I'd totally flip out.

Ah, I went to the doctor not too long ago for a checkup (which I was really mad about and thought was totally unnecessary) and they made a big deal about knowing when my last period was, and I'm not the type of girl that keeps track of that stuff. They're not even regular and I honestly dont want to figure out why they're _not_ regular. After asking me about it a few times and me replying every time "I honestly dont know" they decided to ask my mom, who gave them the weirdest look ever and said "I dont know!!"....

I think they thought it was really weird that none of us knew when my last period was. For all I knew it was 2 months prior. Incidentally, I told them my periods come regularly.

Totally. Completely. Seconded.

um, let's see, TMI.

Oh! My boobs have been really sore for the past month and a half, and I've no idea why.

He's one of only two gynecologists in my town. Both are male. It gets better though...his name is Carl R. Stiff. kehehe...

Anyway, it was no big deal. He sees hoo-has all day. Don't see why he would even remember it at all any more than a female doctor would. Didn't care then, and I don't care now. It's his job. *shrug*

Having irregular periods at your age is very normal and I wouldn't worry about it at all unless it's still happening when you're older (then you should get it checked out if so). I only just started keeping track of my own periods this September. The reason being I'd like to plan things AROUND them. I'd rather not live through another 15 hour plane journey (counting layover) on the second day of my period if it can be helped!

That was really horrible. Especially since it was only moop, Commie, and Teapot meeting me at the airport. Froggy couldn't make it. The whole time I was sitting there thinking, "AGH! Boys will not tell me if I have a hideous blood stain or something!"

Luckilly, I didn't. Whew.

Perhaps this thread should be re-named "The Period Thread". ¬_¬

Perhaps this thread is why you haven't had an erection in weeks!

Perhaps this thread should have more boys coming to it so the girls dont talk all about periods

I once unplanned a family trip across country because I had a period. I didnt tell anyone that was the reason, though.

I'm wearing an underwired bra for the first time and it really hurts.

Nah, that is probably down to stress or it being chopped off by a marauding, misandrist madwoman.

I keep track to minimize the pairs of underwear ruined. x_x Luckily mine are regular now, but my cycle is on the shorter side. =(

And Kitty - my second period found me curled up in the back seat of a car as we drove from Illinois to Maryland and as I curled up and tried not to die from cramps.

I gave up on keeping unstained underwear I figure by the time I have anyone around that will acctually _see_ my underwear, I'll have some sort of a reason to keep track of my period, or will just own all black underwear....

My 5th grade teacher (who had to tell us all about periods) told us her story. She was on a camping trip with her dad. In the middle of nowhere.

I've been keeping track of my periods for about two years. I didn't really know why at first, but it's been useful for figuring out a few months in advance if I'm going to be on my period at pool parties and the like. They were pretty irregular for a long time, but they've recently settled into fairly regular intervals.
Something not about periods... I don't shave my legs in the winter, so I found several hairs that were at least an inch long the other night.
On a side note, I ran across a bad fanfic where the author was referring to a character's penis as his "love truncheon." I was trying not to choke to death on a cracker whilst I was laughing at some of it.

I'm currently a giant ball of chunky mucus (lovely picture, isn't it?) as I'm suffering through yet another bad cold. I blame Uni.

Oh, and as for periods, my first semester at Uni I woke up one morning to the feeling of my legs and stomach being very wet. Thinking it was sweat, I got up to get ready for class, and happened to glance in the full-length mirror. Somehow during the night I had managed to not only get my period, but toss and turn so much as to end up getting it all over my legs and stomach as well. I was also wearing pants that night, so those were covered. But I managed to clean myself up in the half hour I had before class, and the pants were saved.

Yay pill and regularity Although before I went on it... jesus. I used to have like three periods in three weeks and then not have one for like 2 months. And cramps so bad I couldn't walk. Is it just me, or do they deliberately come on days when you have PE, if you leave them to their own devices? And then not only do you have to change when you're in your nastiest, baggiest panties in front of a whole bunch of bitchy teenage girls, but you're made to run around when you feel like curling up and pleading for death. And your mum always tells you to use pads at first, cos tampons might hurt, so you feel all bulky in the underwear regions. And don't even get me *started* on pad rash.

... I had no idea I felt so strongly about periods

But yes... on a non-period related note, I split the back of my head open on monday. It bled for 3 hours. I had to clean crusty dried blood out of my hair

Darling, we all have the option, just not the shamlessness and or pain threshold.

I just masturbated for the first time in months. It blew my mind. I now can't walk.

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at, but I'll give you the whole story and see if that clarifies things:
First, he let his best friend bone his girlfriend at the time on my bed. Then, he and his girlfriend boned on my bed. Then he let said friend do it again. I later found out and let my friend and his girlfriend go at it on his bed and then another time got two of my friends to have sex on his bed. While my brother was in NC snowboarding, my girlfriend and I had sex on his bed. One night, to piss him off, I told him about me and my girlfriend and told him it was in retaliation for what he did.

And go you, Little Bear!

I meant it was kind of hypocritical for him to get angry at you for having sex on his bed if he'd done it to you first, that's all.

Oh, yeah. My guess is that he thinks that since he gave me a half-assed apology that he's free from my wrath. It's all under the bridge now, so no worries.

I generally don't come to this thread because:

1. I generally don't have anything to add to the directory of TMI, or, at least, nothing that I am prepared to share

2. I get mildly traumatised when I read about the intimate details of people's lives, especially when I've known them since they were ... well, no exactly kids, but definitely at a stage of their life where I wouldn't have considered this thread appropriate for them! Not looking at anyone in particular here Kitty.

Ah... They grow up so fast...

I knew there was a reason I hadn't posted here till recently.

<.< *hides from mata*

I've been being sick in my mouth all day.

<3 for Froggy and IATB as far as bloodstains go... my period is 12 DAYS EARLY. 12 days!! That's more than half of my overall cycle!

And also, I've been realizing that lately most of the posting I do is in here and the books thread. Yeah, I'm an active forum member, all right. >_>

2 things.

1) On saturday night I was on the phone with Cath. Smiler was not mpressed so he decided to distract me. This was probably THE most interesting telephone conversation I have EVER had!!! (sorry Cath)

2) Smiler and I have noticed several things about living with a kitten. They are very intersted in watching EVERYTHING nd they like chasing things...!

There are just so many interesting places you can go from that kitten tangents that I'll just not ask.
I popped a huge zit on the side of my nose this morning and clear stuff went spraying all over the mirror. THe biggest clump looked like Australia when I squinted at it.

Ahh, I love doing that. What I hate is the really 'deep' spots that are practically impossible to pop.

Heh. I had a massive bloodspray today from the center of my forehead. Kind of looked Hindu. But yeah, I like popping them, too. A little bit of a guilty pleasure. It is fun when the fluid hits the cieling.

I have one on my leg that regularly sprays clear across the room.

I hate the pimples on my ear that are painful to the touch. When I do finally pop it and then am confronted with all the pain, I feel as though it was worth it.

The piercing in my right ear lobe is torn slightly and has been weeping a little all of today so that when I just took my earring out, there is crusty stuff stuck to it. Bleugh.

(I too pop spots- I hate me doing it, and I don't enjoy it, and it makes them worse. but I just can't not!)

I remember when there was a zit in the middle of my forehead and I went around asking people "If I went to India, Would they think I'm married?"

I was really fun to ask guys. They could never decide whether or not to just act like they don't know what I'm talking about or to say yes and hope they were right.

I just coughed up a lovely load of phlegm and blood right into my palm. What did I do next you ask? Why, I did what every self-respecting greb would do and ate it.

Will you stop that! I've enough images in my head already without the pair of you adding to them and making them worse!!!

My stupid razor is all clogged with hair and I'll have to wash it out before it'll work properly again. Stupid thing. I'd stop using it, but I can't stand armpit hair.

The plug in my bath is blocked so when you take a shower and shave, after you've stopped the water and the water is draining reeaally slow, you get al the hair stuck to the sides of the bath instead of down the hole.

Sorry Cathykins but this IS the way too much information depositary!!! Incidentally I don;t think he's read this thread in a while as when I suggested the above post he told me not to... Ooops!!!

Ick. I suppose you've tried drain cleaner already, but using a toilet plunger on the drain unclogged my sink.

Try both. My shower drain was clogged to Hell recently. I poured some cleaner in, but it got stuck so I plunged it and it went down slowly. After using about half the bottle, it was clear as can be.

My brother and I both have long hair. The drain gets mildly obstructed fairly often. It sucks.

I spent twenty minutes last night trying to floss a popcorn kernel out from between two of my molars. The last time I ate popcorn was at least a week ago, so it had gone all soft and mushy. It felt great when I finally got it out, and I ate it to get revenge after biting it into very small pieces.

My fingers smell like Immac. It's bloody rank.

I am coughing up funny brown stuff. It is disgusting.

Edit: I have also not worn a bra in 48 hours.
Edit again: Make that 96 now. I'm on a roll!

Having just cried, my nose is the clearest it's been in weeks. #@&$ post-nasal drip.

all five of my piercings have been taking turns weeping, so I keep getting evil green crusties all over the backs of them.

And, day 6 of my cold: less phlem but whenever I cough it up, it's not only green, but chunky. Yes, I said chunky.

I was eating a potato for dinner when I read that, Trunks! I had mashed it up a bit and it was slightly chunky. Urgh. Come to think about it though, I should have thought about reading TMI archive whilst eating dinner.

Ah yes, I learned that the hard way too - DO NOT CLICK ON TMI THREAD WHEN EATING. I've done it a few times regardless...

And Ange, I feel for ya. <3
