Since I started my period, around 8 years old (I know I was young and was on medication because I bleed for two months due to an iron deficiency). Since then, I've ways had an irregular period. I'll get it maybe every other month, every two months, it's even been so bad that I won't get it for 7 months, but let me tell you, in no way, shape or form is it a blessing to not have it for 7 months. It's brutal. I cried while at work and was almost sent home, I was uncomfortable, I felt like everyone could see the blood, I was wearing super sized pads and using tampons because I bleed so bad. It was HELL!
