Wondering, period.

I know the hormones and fatigue can make a girl a little wonky during this time so make sure you are taking iron, a multi-vitamin and are eating properly the week leading up to and during and see if that helps.

Sorry for disrupting the thread...but I have been wondering about what that means exactly. I even tried to Google information about what foods could help with hormones not going crazy, but I had no luck.

As far as multi-vitamins are concerned I never noticed them doing anything good, on the contrary they make my stomach sick. I much better tolerate taking supplements individually (like vitamin C,...but I am incorrigible about taking tablets at all, especially regularly and on time), so iron might be a good idea.

you can be more sensitive to everything during your period including pain as well as emotions, dieuretics taken regularly 2 weeks before the start of your period makes a big difference as it helps reduce the water sustained during that time which causes the,sluggishness and bloated feelings, tissue salts are also supposed to be very good at relieving period problems as they restore the bodys natural balance of hormones mnerals etc, they're totally natural are safe and have no side effects, ive had them recommended to me by a few diferent women including my gp though ive not yet got round to trying them lol.


if you're not comfortable with sex during that time greendragonfly then to keep the D/s side going why not come to some compromise such as perform oral,be restrained, adopt certain positions, obey orders, dress a certain way etc while he or you masturbates him,
perhaps you could both try to experiment with various types of play maybe a role play type scene...a serving wench fetching his drinks..school girl doing homework..or whatever lol (you might be surprised and find there's some things you're happy with) that doesnt involve full on sexual activity or expose your body but still pleases him.
that way he's still 'controlling' the situation (to a degree) and you're not uncomfortable with having to have sex.

and if nothing works then i guess you both have to accept that and put it on hold for those particular days, it would be pointless being tense and uncomfortable as that will just build into frustration and resentment on both parts if its not handled carefully.

Untill i met my current boyfriend I always had issues with sex and being clothesless when on my period, but my boyfriend now was just amazing about it, he sees nothing wrong with me or it, and like DowntownAmber we just go for it.

I find though, that because my hormones are *all* over the place when I'm on my period, we have to be especially careful during any scenes, because I sometimes find it hard to differentiate between whats in a scene and is just being said for my enjoyment, and whats actually being meant. eg humiliation, normally i can walk away from a scene after a cuddle and a chat and be fine with it, its not a knock to my self esteem, but when im on my period... i can really take it to heart.

Not that that was really relevant.

Why not have some rituals or do some roleplay which doesnt culminate in sex?

The entire B vitamin family works wonders. My ob-gyn recommended this to me several years ago when I was about at my wit's end with premenstrual syndrome. Find a B-complex type of supplement and take it as directed. All the symptoms will lessen - even the hormonal craziness!

Derail away...

In the food department it is more what you stay away from than what you actually eat. This doesn't mean skipping meals, of course, but avoid foods with a ton of sodium (they will only enhance water retention) and foods with a high sugar content, especially synthetic sugars.

Multi-vitamins are only as good as the brand, so if what you're taking doesn't work for you either shop around, have an individual mix designed and bottled up for you, or individual ***** are also an option. Grossly enough, fish oil is great (allows for your body to actually absorb and use many of the vitamins you take in pill form or from your food), B vitamins, and iron. Iron is essential for me because I am enemic to begin with and the loss of blood during my period only enhances that.

Hope that helps!

**Quickie Add On** Most diet and vitamin changes don't actually cause hormonal changes, they simply allow your body to deal with the fluctuations better. I have heard that certain types of birth control ***** can help out of hormone swings are out of hand, but that's up to you and your doctor.
