First, this letter was freakin hilarious!! I get that it was written in good fun and I'm sure the smart, mature people who read it understand that too, and only posted the comments because they can relate. You know the whole it's funny because its true thing... It seems that the only ones taking this seriously are the ones telling everyone to STOP taking it seriously! GEEZ! Lighten up. FOr the record, I'm 28. I started my period when I was 8 and since the 5th grade they have been pure torture. I actually begged my doc for a hysterectomy when I was about 24, but was told I was too young. I dread my period every month. I have all symptoms named here and then some. Anemia so bad, I've been hospitalized, and had blood transfusions. My best friend- who can actually wear white when aunt flo is around, the lucky bitch- has been more sympathetic than anyone, even my doctors, and it really pisses me off that other women who commented can make such stupid, insensitive comments to other women. Whatever happened to solidarity? Just the fact that blood leaks out of your body makes you one of us, whether you like it or not. Can you honestly say you enjoy your time of the month?

Same thing happened to me. Tried birth control pills after that and they also kept me on the rag continuously. I have never had a HAPPY period. There is nothing happy about it. It's disgusting, painful and you can look forward to it every thirty days for approx. five days until you get old enough for menopause. What's happy about that? Sara, I feel you on that depo thing.

You have a penis. What the hell would you know about periods and birth control? Not a damn thing. The only birth control method I know of that actually eliminates a woman's period is the depo shot.. which is not in any way healthy. I tried it when I was young and naiive and ended up being on my rag for EIGHT MONTHS STRAIGHT! Yeah.. don't get me started on that shit. As for using birth control pills to regulate - yes they help. They help make the period lighter and more bearable as well. I've been much more comfortable than I used to be since beginning Marvelon. However.. it does NOT eliminate symptoms. I still spend 4 days a month bloated, cramped and miserable. Once again, I just want to say fuck you, Christopher. Christopher:

Blood all over, no control... so a period with a pad/tampon to keep things in check for us, is a happier period than it could be. And I think that is what the slogan was suppose to mean. Don't take things so seriously. It's an ad!

I loved the letter tho, my girlfriend forwarded to me. She has a tough monthly but it gives me a chance to buy her flowers and take care of her every month. I've learned so much about the period on this page tho, thanks for all the good info everyone. I especially like the tea idea's I'll be sure to buy some for my girly. And just to piss all the woman on here off. I hope you all have a happy period.

Having a Happy Period.... "Have a Happy Funeral." "Have a Happy Mastectomy" Leann; the word is ‘insensitive’. Having a
Happy Period….

“Have a Happy Funeral.”

“Have a Happy Mastectomy”

If you were having a particularly crappy day and I said "Good morning" would you tear me a new one, too? So just because YOU have bad periods, the rest of us have to act like it's a curse too? Excuse me if I don't think they're that bad. I don’t understand why the anyone feels the need to rip someone to pieces for wishing you a happy period.

As with abortion/pregnancy/ no one with a penis is qualified to give opinions. Maybe it's just me, but I've never trolled male web sites giving men advice and telling them how they are supposed to feel, think, act.... Guess we haven't come very far when men still believe they have the right to tell us how we feel or should feel. I absolutely adore Annie’s response.
