Well my girlfreind just started her period...And I know absolutely nothing about it.What exactly happens during it?This is the first time she has ever made it such a big deal,shes mentioned it before,but nothing like this.I asked her what was wrong and stuff but she just ignored me until we were off the subject...odd I dont know why,after shes been talking ot me more openly about it during this one.So there is no way in hell im asking my mom about it,and youd think theyd educate better in this stuff in 9th grade health ed.So could someone please tell me what really goes on and stuff during her period,because frankly,besides the obvious stuff,I haveno freakin idea and its starting ot piss me off..PLease and thankyou.

As far as her conversationality goes, that sounds pretty normal. Hormones change levels (sometimes drastically), and there can be some pain involved in the process, making her much less amenable to light conversation.As far as the physical goes, what's happening is that the uterus is shedding it's internal lining that is built up during the previous weeks. This lining is for the egg to attach to in the event that it is fertilized. For many women, this process causes cramping (because that's basically what the uterus is doing), and discomfort.

And bleeding too.

I knew about the bleeding and and modd swings.I didnt know she cramped though...I was wondering why she was mentioning a little pain/discomfort.Thnx alot guys,you helped me out.

Oh yeah, cramps can be a big thing. The makers of Midol profit big time from it.

Periods are a big pain in the arse, they make you feel like you just want to curl into a small ball on a couch and do nothing.
