Would you choose not ever having your periods if it meant not having kids?

No, I will gladly deal with menstruation because I would love to have children someday, I do want to experience pregnancy with all its ups and downs and no matter how tough it is to be a parent, I do want to experience it. So I'll keep my period and all its pain and discomfort.

It seems like all the medical options for not having your periods ever gets shut down bc docs think you will change your opinion on having kids.

In some places they even demand to see your husband approval for the procedure.

I've heard stuff like this like in the US right?

yup

I'm glad to be in Australia lol

all the best for your migraines and cramps my friend take care!!!

dunno. im a dude.

Yes. The choice to adopt always exists.

If I choose to be a parent, it's not important to me that the child is biologically mine. Being the biological parent isn't what parenting is about.

I wish periods would not exist

I do not have issues, unless it might go trought my pants wich is unpleasant in the public or if you wear clothes who can't be properly washed etc.

but as I was 14 I had a illness where I spend 3 weeks on the toilet, couldn't go to school and my doctor didn't took me too serious as I went there ... they told me to take medicine, but it did not work so I tested different pills till one worked. Sadly they stoped producing this pill so we had to experiment around again wich other pill was working for me since my shitty period-issue came back but luckly not as bad as back as I was 14 ... however the new pill that worked quit a while stoped working for me as I was 16 and so I sat on toilet for 2 weeks again and that was soooooo bad. We had to test around many pills again and as I turned 21 I decided to stop using medicine since my problem was gone

Even as the medicine helped me, my regular periods were heavier. I also had the issue that showering or doing sports was making my periods flow more so I often didn't took sports in school, but my last sports teacher was dumb and she said: "Not my problem... you go and do sports! If you really have period problems than just wear a bigger period pad!" ... I told her that if I bleed on the floor trought my pants than she will see... and well as my school did a competition in dogeball where each class plays against eachother, my teacher realised how dumb she was since I really blamed myself in front of my class since it bleed trought my pants

I'm happy as an adult that I don't have cramps and that my periods are normal and not more that heavy

Yep I've always said I've wanted to adopt and sexual intercourse scares me tbh I don't think I could handle being preggo
