The First Day Sometimes Is The Worst Day

You may become bloated.  Then there's the onset of irritability.  You begin to feel cramps in your abdomen, your lower back, your thighs and your legs.  Your body is telling you...it's that Time Of The Month! again.


Why does it seem like the first day is the worst day?  Is your flow most heavy on the first day of your period?  Are most cranky on the first day of your TOTM!?  Do you have experience cravings on the first day of your cycle?


Here are a few things you can do to make the first day of your TOTM! less painful, less irritable, less bloated, and less crampy.

• Be sure to stay hydrated.  Drink lots of water.
• Eat 2 bananas a day to help with the bloating, irritability and cramps.
• Drink Green Tea
• Use warm compresses to ease lower abdominal cramps, back cramps, and leg cramps.

For more TOTM! tips listen to TOTM! Tea Talk radio show on Blogtalk radio Sundays at 5pm EST and Wednesdays at 7pm EST 

Until your next period...

Abnormal Menstrual Cycle During YOUR TOTM!?

Abnormal Menstrual Cycle. Is it abnormal? Or is it normal for you?

Every woman is different and each cycle is different. What may be abnormal to you, may be normal for someone else. This is why it is important that you don't compare yourself to others.

If you're worried about heavy menstruation or that your TOTM! is abnormal, consult your gynecologist and learn more to empower yourself.

It is important that you keep record of your cycle and a great book that will help you to do is TOTM! Time Of The Month!  The Essential Calendar Planner For Girls and Women of All Ages.  Currently available on Amazon!

Cramps And YOUR TOTM!

During your TOTM! how many times have you just wanted to lay in bed crawled in a fetal position?

It doesn't have to be that way. There are many different remedies and physical acts that you can do during your TOTM! to help alleviate your symptoms.

Think about this...

When athletes catch a cramp, what do their coaches advise?

They tell them to walk it off! So when you're mensing, it is advisable to walk to help ease those abdominal cramps. Dancing is also a great way to keep cramps at bay. Belly dancing works the midsection and is fun at the same time!

Cramps in the legs can be eased by massaging them, or soaking in a nice hot bath. And yes! You can take a bath during that Time Of The Month!

Just a few things to think about the next time you experience cramps during your TOTM!

Until next time...

Feelings And YOUR TOTM!

How you feel about your TOTM! affects the type of cycle you will experience. Do you ever look at your calendar towards your Time Of The Month! and grimace with the thoughts of pain?

If so, little may you realize that the way you think of your monthly menstrual cycle actually impacts the type of symptoms you may experience. Even the severity of those symptoms. It's like the old adage...mind over matter.

So instead of thinking of the bad cramps you're in stored for, why don't you think how grateful you are to have your period. Having a monthly cycle is not a curse! It is a blessing!

Say to yourself, "Thank you for the gift in my period." and see how much of a better experience you will have.

So until your next period...

Welcome To TOTM! Time Of The Month!® Blog

I am so glad you’re here!

Thank YOU. I Value YOUR Time And Attention.

TOTM! Time Of The Month! ®"

"Not only that, you'll also get insight into your emotions, feelings, moods and physical body changes during YOUR TOTM!"...

"We'll talk about YOUR TOTM! and all the things (old wives tales) you may have heard..."

You know, things like...

Don't wash your hair when you are on your period

And this...

Don't take a bath when you are on your period

And how about this...

Don't ride your bike or go swiming when you are on your period

"We talk about and recommend things to try that are known to work for PMS".

My name is Valarie Carey. My friends call me Val. I am best known as the author who created TOTM! Time Of The Month! ® The Essential Planner For Girls And Women of All Ages. I am also, a motivational speaker and publisher.

Listen, TOTM! Time Of The Month! ® is an important female topic that needs to be discussed between mothers and their daughters, aunts and their nieces, dads and their daughters. These talks should begin during a young girl's pre-teens, tween, puberty years, teen years and continuing the conversation beyond on her own during her adult years with other women to better understand and alleviate the symptoms that usually accompany that Time Of The Month!

Why?

Because the reality is your monthly period will play a major role in your life and impact your life from your adolescent years through your adult years as a young woman and a mature woman. There is no miraculous cure for TOTM!

But the good news is there are solutions...

There are things that you can empower yourself to do to help alleviate the bloating, cramps, headaches,  moods, out of sorts and physical discomfort you may experience.

For those adult women who do not like taking prescription drugs there are alternatives to explore.

So, I invite YOU to bookmark TOTM! Time Of The Month! ® Blog

Stay Tuned...
