Do you take off work for a day when you're on your period?

Question

I'm trying to decide whether I should start giving myself a day off of work on the first day of my period. I use the bathroom a lot and cramp badly. I'm nauseous and my flow is heavy. Does anyone take off work for symptoms like these for their period?

Answer

Never.

Answer

Never. I get 18 PTO days a year. I am not using them for period days. Plus if I called out once a month that's a great way to get fired.

Answer

Never

Answer

Where's the never option?

Answer

I have taken time off before, because I get really bad periods (I have suspected endometriosis) if you have a guy boss they usually don't want to hear anything about it so they are easier to kind of get away with it..

Answer

Nope, never have, and never would.  Just have to suck it up, and get through it.

Answer

There should be an option for never... If i did that i would be fired....

Answer

Every woman is different. Some barely go thru pain, others go thru more. I have really bad cramps every once in a while and I too get nauseous, plus vomiting, diahrrea and cold sweat. I show up to work though and if I can't take the pain I ask to leave and I'm allowed to.

Answer

Nope I just start taking ibuprofen 3 days before my excepted period and then take it continuously during my period so I can get through those painful first day cramps.

Answer

I wish i could
