Let's Talk About Periods - Book Of Elsa

It has come to my attention that I've had periods for fourteen years!

In all that time it is only just now that I've managed to get it under control. 

The first sight of my monthlies no longer induces sheer panic but more of a relief annoyance.

As it can be a bit scary time for teenager girls I thought a guide to periods would be most welcome.

I was way to embarrassed to want to talk about it. So here is some of my knowledge.

1. It will take a year or two for your cycle to become regular. sorry ladies but that's a fact. Mine actually took five years before I could predict when they would happen so always (and I cannot emphasise this point enough) carry a pad/tampon with you at all times. If however, you forget like me plenty of times at lets say a cinema. Go to the bathroom and ask a lady for one. She will understand and most likely help you.
2. Day one of a cycle is the 1st day of your period and your cycle last until the beggining of the next one which is between 28 to 30 days.
3. There are a wide variety of products on the market but I would suggest starting with pads.

Happy Easter - Book of Elsa

Happy Easter - Book of Elsa

Winston Churchill  said that failure is not fatal; that our ability to get up and keep going ultimately defines us more than our mistakes ever will. 

So whilst it's alright to wallow in defeat... If you're like me a couple days spent in bed feeling like crap generally do the trick.

However, it is important to realise that things ALWAYS get better. 

Rise, shower, put make up on, do those little things that make you feel better and leave the house even if it is just to visit the library especially when one doesn't feel like it.

Life keeps us moving forward like a bullet train thus it's safer to stay onboard.

Happy Easter
