for the anon with heavy periods, here are some changes you can make to manage it

increase your intake of these nutrients:

iron: obviously necessary to replenish blood loss, but if you’re anemic before your period, your flow will be heavier as well. sources: red meats, chicken, oysters, beans, dark leafy greens, tofu, pumpkin seeds, an iron fish.

vitamin C: for absorption of iron and to strengthen capillaries, reducing bleeding. sources: rosehips (you can buy a bag of organic dried rosehips to put in tea, it’s florally and kinda fruity,) yellow bell peppers, cantaloupe, citrus, strawberries, and dark leafy greens

vitamin K: when it comes to blood clotting, vitamin k is essential. supplementing it has been shown to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding in women who otherwise have no known blood clotting disorders sources: spinach, kale, collard/mustard greens, broccoli

omega 3s: anti-inflammatory and helps produce prostaglandins that regulate the menstrual cycle and flow. sources: mackerel, salmon, sardines, oysters, brussel sprouts, tofu, navy beans, and fish oil supplements

vitamin B6: b6 helps regulate production of serotonin and dopamine and regulates production of PgE1, a prostaglandin that’s been proven to affect menstrual cycle regularity and flow. sources: avocado, spinach, banana, sunflower seeds. this is one i recommend supplementing (along with b12) if your general health is poor.

other stuff:

blood clotting medications: tranexamic acid is the most common one, also called Lysteda, and it isn’t as scary as it sounds. it’s a blood clotting medication for adults only, used after childbirth frequently, and they even give it to people with chronic nosebleeds. there’s also Desmopressin nasal spray which has a different mechanism but the same effect. talk with your dr about side effects, but please do your own research! physicians unfortunately rarely have our best interest at heart and will often fail to inform you of side effects or drug interactions.

ginger: an anti-inflammatory, can ease pain. inhibits the enzymes prostaglandin synthetase and cyclooxygenase, both of which can create a prostaglandin imbalance that causes heavy menstrual bleeding and irregularity

raspberry leaf tea: contains fragarine, an alkaloid thought to help pelvic floor muscle cramps, reduce pain, and shorten period length. don’t drink more than 2 servings if you’re extremely sensitive to estrogen. some women swear this is their holy grail for PMS

cruciferous veggies like broccoli and brussel sprouts help your body eliminate extra estrogen which can reduce bleeding and shorten period length.

i’ll include more about all of the above stuff and other helpful nutrients for PMS like potassium, magnesium, etc in my next post about diet based on your cycle, this was just a quick post for supplements specifically to reduce a heavy flow.

lastly, stay hydrated and rest as much as possible during your period, easier said than done

menorrhagia is defined as abnormal blood loss during menstruation. this means heavy flow lasting for over a week and/or totaling greater than 80 ml (~1/4 cup) per month. if your symptoms are having an impact on your quality of life, consider seeing your gyno to find an underlying cause.

i know most of you know what's been going on with me, so i won't ramble for too long. the manager at that last job didn't think i was capable of doing it. i am, with accommodations for my disability, but i couldn't change her mind. now i'm between jobs again. i'm getting paid for the two weeks, so i should (hopefully) be okay through may. there's never any obligation with things like this, but for those of you who have asked how you can help, i have venmo (@anniecasper4), cashapp ($lunamoth4), and an amazon wishlist. thank you so much to everyone who's been there for me and helped me make ends meet throughout all of this. i love you gyns so much and i'll always be grateful for you 🫂❤️

why do so many people ignore the entire process of labor when discussing abortion, unwanted pregnancies, and women’s right to bodily autonomy. labor is no trivial matter! it kills! it has killed! for the majority of human history it was the leading cause of death of women! to me there’s something about trivializing adoption by saying “just give [the child] up” and completely ignoring the tremendous amount of physical pain and irreversible bodily damage women go through giving birth that’s even more disgusting than not supporting abortion to begin with!

When I first stopped shaving at 17 I was so self conscious. I had to push myself to show my leg and armpit hair. 4+ years later I don’t even think about it. I forget that women are supposed to shave sometimes. For anyone thinking of ditching the razor I promise it does get better.

[bikini-kill-pilled]

if you’re unwilling to cleanly cut off rapists from your social group i think you have no business calling yourself a feminist or claiming solidarity with other women. it’s really the bare minimum action in supporting other women and if you won’t do it you aren’t shit.

Does thinking bio sex is real make me a bad person? A friend asked me about gender and sex then latter told me that having to acknowledge that bio sex is real and is occasionally important to things like medical care and woman’s rights even after someone transitions is damaging to their mental health and that I was rude for talking about it. I fully support their transition ftnonbinary, everyone deserves bodily autonomy and to be happy. They know this so when they asked me questions I was honest.

They told me what I’d said was true but they wish they’d never had to make that connection because realizing their body will always have female dna made them want to claw their skin off because of their dysphoria. And that biologically female was problematic wording due to connotations. (Afab was ok). We agreed never to talk about biology or sex again.

Idk how we even got to dna it started with female oppression being sex based then sports and hrt not completely removing strength advantage over female competitors, which they didn’t like either because they said they want/need to believe that hrt makes someone the same as the opposite sex. Ive apologized and been forgiven but still feel bad for talking about it at all and causing such a bad reaction in someone I love.

Now I feel like a terrible person for believing sex is important sometimes, because the thought of making people dysphoric due to that is horrible. Does thinking sex can be important for certain things or acknowledging female oppression is sex based make me a bad person?

i'm obviously very biased on the subject, i mean look at my blog, but the answer is NO! acknowledging bio sex DOESNT MAKE YOU A BAD PERSON! you're absolutely right, and if your friend gets so much dysphoria from hearing about their female dna, that's something only therapy + support can fix because to my knowledge there's literally no way to change that. i'm glad they forgave you and i understand the pain you felt hurting the feelings of an important friend, but i don't think you should have had to apologize for telling the truth that they even agreed with. in my opinion you should never apologize for thinking and believing the truth, and if people shut you down for doing so then that's a very very bad sign. i'm sending love and luck to you and your friend though, because whatever happens i hope you guys stay friends!

Cosmetic surgery is not “cosmetic,” and human flesh is not “plastic.” Even the names trivialize what it is. It’s not like ironing wrinkles in fabric, or tuning up a car, or altering outmoded clothes, the current metaphors. Trivialization and infantilization pervade the surgeons’ language when they speak to women: “a nip,” a “tummy tuck.” Rees writes, describing a second-degree acid burn over the face: “Remember when you were in school and you skinned your knee and a scab formed?” This baby talk falsifies reality. Surgery changes one forever, the mind as well as the body.

I hate to complain but US women are already butchering the “Western 4B Movement” because why am I seeing self proclaimed women in happy marriages saying they’re 4B? On social media? Doesn’t that go against the 4 No’s? No dating, no marriage, no children, no sex? Or am I just uneducated?

oh god. i know im gonna regret responding to you but here's your answer: white people are not in danger of systemic racism working against them if a black person hurt them, and you seem like the kind of person to believe in reverse racism so im hesitant to add this...but white people can not be the targets of racism. if a woman was attacked by a man, people may not believe her. she may not be able to get an abortion if she was impregnated, there's no guarantee of justice being done. that's because men are on top in the hierarchy and women are not; similarly, black people are not oppressing white people. that's why white people don't need white only spaces, because their needs are always met before other races. that's why there are affinity groups for other races, because they need to be prioritized. that's why WOMEN need safe spaces for themselves, because THEY need to be prioritized. also, men get their male only sports and their bathrooms without any arguments, and they can keep them. i just want the same for women.

i want female only sports, including chess. i also want female only book clubs and female only karaoke nights and female only whatever women want to enjoy without the threat of men breathing down their necks. it's not about physical or mental superiority and more about me just wanting one place where i don't have to deal with sexists and chauvinists, especially when im doing something i love.
