Is it wrong to call out of work because your period?

Question

My period has me feeling so crappy right now. I’ve been nauseous, my cramps are ridiculous and I’m extremely exhausted. I never ever call out of work but this cycle I have had to and I feel like my boss thjnks I’m BSing and I honestly feel bad... I just can’t sit at a desk for 8 hours right now.

Answer

Idk why people say no ? If you arent feeling well then call in . Why should you go to work if you wont be able to focus

Answer

It’s like being sick, sometimes it’s worse. Other women might not have it as bad as you and say to “deal with it” but if you feel you can’t get through the day then do so. Maybe not every period but if it’s particularly shitty then do what’s best for you. 
I wouldn’t ask others on here just because I know some of these girls barely have problems with theirs and shame other women for “complaining”.

Answer

I have. I actually had to quit because I literally couldn’t handle being on my feet all day and lifting 30-50 pounds of shit each day. I have endometriosis and pcos. And I just couldn’t do it

Answer

If you are legitimately not feeling able to do your job then go ahead and call off.. 
But if you miss more than one day your boss will probably require a docs note, just be aware.
