Most of us basically have a love/hate relationship with our period (probably more hate than love). We know that if our period comes on a regular basis, there’s limited clotting, the blood is bright red and we’re not comatose from the pain. Also we feel assured that our reproductive system is doing pretty well. That we love.

But realizing that every 28 days or so (give or take a few), like clockwork, we’re going to have cramps, cravings, bloating and yes, plenty of bleeding. Ugh. Sometimes it feels like if we’re not getting over our period, we’re preparing to have another one. (The joys of being a woman.)

If your period (or the thought of having a period) sucks BIG TIME, did you know that there are things you can do to take a lot of the period pressure off? When we say off we mean off of your uterus, your mind and your time. 

Hey, we’re not saying that we have some miracle cure. We’re just saying that if your period is something you dread, like we do, we’ve found a few tricks that can make things more bearable. No, for real, for real!

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
