Is anyone else with me that the first day of your flow is the worst? Cramps are x1000 in pain and you feel bloated af. Yeah so period started today and had to do a million and one things with the family, come home to finally relax... nope. I sit on the toilet to pee and it's the most painful experience. First day of period pain and a UTI. Having the worst day, anybody got some words of advice or encouragement to make me feel better about the terrible times of being a woman.
