I always thought it was unfair that even at my most sick I never lost my period 😭😭

I get the appeal of not having periods cause they’re a hassle. But it’s also like just a general sign your body is really struggling. You don’t lose your period unless your body is in survival mode.

I’m also not interested in having kids, but when I didn’t have my period for a few months (and there was no chance I was pregnant lol), it scared me a lot bc I worried it was a sign of health issues. I definitely don’t enjoy bleeding but it’s kinda reassuring now

i felt this way when it was discovered that tampons/pads have arsenic in them and it could lead to infertility. like oh no….. how sad…….. lemme keep using them just to be safe…..

yeah i see this in the short term but there are a lot of long term issues with missing your period due to malnutrition. even if you don’t want to have children it can aggravate a lot of uterine diseases and disorders plus endocrine system issues too

it’s also literally a sign your body is shutting down…like your body can’t do other functions because it’s only focused on surviving and that’s it. you are putting your body in a state of fighting for your own life for what? for someone to say you’re skinny? do u think you’ll care about that on your death bed?

How about this. The side effect of under eating is hair loss, no energy, weakend immunity, not enjoying moments with your friends/family, and if you’re not careful then it’s just death.

Well, the infertility is only one symptom. You’ll also be tired all the time and feel dizzy every time you stand up

Get an iud and then you don’t have to worry about children or a period (period and child free since 2023 babeyyyy 😛😛😛)

Your period has functions other than fertility though. Bone production for example is a really important one. Your body shutting down as you slowly die is not a plus side.

so that’s encouraging you to have an ED? it’s a good thing you don’t we have enough brainless women having kids
