#i started my period waking up having bled through my pad in a horror movie kind of way and it set the tone more definitively than usual

My undergrad orientation had a suicide prevention presentation, and the credo they kept repeating was that it's a permanent solution to a temporary problem, and it became a meme among my classmates. It's a stupid thing to say, I don't think anyone who's ever contemplated suicide could have possibly been sitting in on that comms meeting. However, I do think of it every time I have my period.

hey! found you through your minipill post, i was wondering if you could share your experience with it a bit? i'm considering birth control options with my doctor as i have symptoms of pcos but i can't get estrogen, so she suggested a minipill, however i'm worried of it making my anxiety worse. if this is a nosy question, feel free to delete it! hope you have a good day/night :)

hi! i can definitely give you the rundown of my experience with it. of course i'm just one person, so your experience might be different.

anxiety-wise i unfortunately can't say what the impact has been. i have very bad anxiety and it's pretty much impossible to say how or if that's been impacted by my birth control. what i CAN tell you is that when i started the minipill i bled for like 20 days, and then i had an irregular cycle for a while, and then i had no bleeding for over a year. then my cycle came back and i got annoyed so i asked my gynecologist for the shot, which my body did NOT enjoy at all - i got horrible abdominal cramps and was miserable for a long time. so i went back on the minipill. yes my cycle is irregular but i used to have the nasty gushing periods where i was changing my pad constantly and waking up to my bed looking like a horror movie, and now that never happens. i also used to have 8-9 days of bleeding and now it's less than that as well. my cramps improved in the beginning as well (like 3 advil every 4 hours) and now, though i get them all the time instead of just on my period (though there may be something else wrong with me tbh) they're usually 1-advil cramps, rarely 2-advil cramps, and i don't have to be taking the advil every 4 hours because the cramps don't last as long. i am a minipill evangelist and will always hype it up for everyone who can't do estrogen!!! so my advice is try it for a few months and see how you react, & good luck <3

Slashers x Reader || Period

A/N: Someone had requested this but the request disappeared along with like five others so I’m gonna fight Tumblr. Thank you to all who gave me kind words, I’ve been having a rough couple days and you guys helped me get out of my funk. I spent the day watching all my favorite horror movies and basking in the glory of my fictional lovers. I hope you enjoy!

Warnings: fluff, fem!reader who’s on her period, mentions of blood, mentions of period sex

word count: 824 Tip Jar (every bit helps)

Would be the sweetest about it:

Jason Voorhees: The minute you wake up with the bedsheets stained with a small blotch of blood, you get so embarrassed. Much to your confusion, Jason would simply take the sheet and clean it like it was nothing. He wouldn’t blink an eye before he had you warm and comfy, pampering you like a princess and making sure you were feeling okay. He would be perfectly okay with period sex if you asked, he’d do anything for you to feel better. 

Thomas Hewitt: The moment he sees you scrunch your nose in pain as another cramp rips through you, he has you in his arms. Thomas would do everything in his power to make sure you smile by the end of the day, no matter how bad you felt. He’d be your personal heater, his large hands resting on your lower abdomen and his muscular arms caging you against him. Another one who’d be fine with fucking the cramps away; he thinks you feel different (in a good way) when you’re on your period. 

Vincent Sinclair: It’s a natural woman process so he isn’t grossed out by it. Your craving a certain kind of food? He’d buy as much of it as possible. He’d probably try buying you pads/tampons and get the wrong thing but at least he cares enough to try. Vincent will make sure you take medicine to help with the cramps and he’ll lay with you all day, playing with your hair.

Would be super awkward about it:

Bubba Sawyer: Poor boy doesn’t want to know about the pain you have to endure each month, but he does his best to help. He doesn’t like it when you go into elaborate detail about the pain or the amount of blood, it makes him nearly sick, much to your disbelief. If you forget a pad/tampon in the other room and ask him to get it for you while you’re on the toilet, he will panic. You laugh when he pokes his hand under the bathroom door and the product shoots towards your legs. 

Norman Bates: He knows it’s natural but he can’t help but get timid around the idea of it. He doesn’t know why you’re yelling at him one minute and then crying the other, but he will hug you and try to calm you down. Norman will make any excuse to leave the house; need more products? need more medicine or food? As awkward as he is about it, he knows exactly the type of products you use and buys them without question. 

Bo Sinclair: He downright avoids you the week of; he has it written down to make sure he’s not around to experience the gremlin you turn into. Bo will buy you a surplus of things you need, knowing exactly what you use and crave, and throw it into a basket. He’ll leave a cute lovey-dovey note next to it and then he will run for the hills. 9/10 he comes back early but it still very cautious about what he says or does. One wrong move could cost him a limb. 

Would be absolutely disgusted:

Brahms Heelshire: Mr. Heelshit here doesn’t want to know what goes on during your lady week. He will literally hide in the walls, mortified that you can bleed that much and still be alive. He almost threw up when you told him how tampons work, immediately covering your mouth with his hand and going paler than you’d ever seen him. Wanna make him uncomfortable, tell him you’re on your period and he bolts. There are few occasions when he’s decent about it and will cuddle you and try to help you through the pain, but it’s rare. 

Charles Lee Ray: He’d probably be a little mean about it if you bled on the sheets or if your emotions were off, but he’d still be careful of what he says around you because you’re over sensitive during your week. He’s another one that would go to the store to get out of the house because you’d been using him as a heating pad all day. The only thing is he wouldn’t buy you anything, maybe a candy bar but that’s it. He thinks period are g-r-o-s-s.

Would be excited for one reason: (slight nsfw)

Michael Myers: He is a literal psycho and can practically smell it when you start. Let me tell you, good luck. He will be gentle with you the first couple of days but the moment you’re crying because the cramps hurt, he’s suggesting sex. He would not hesitate to fuck you raw on your period. Michael loves a mess, and we have established he has a blood kink so homeboy would definitely love it (maybe even more than you). Don’t worry, he’ll make the pain go away and he’ll take good care of you, but just be warned, the sheets will be ruined.
