Now that I grabbed your attention, fine women and quite possibly curious men of the military; I've got a question.
Its kinda a stupid question but hey, whatever.
How do you girls deal with your period when you have to do military work?
Do you skip it or what?
I'm never planning on having kids, so I was thinking about all the fun stuff and getting fixed if its paid for.
I was thinking the Depo shot til then.
So, come on, tell me what you gotta do.

However, you can always opt for a progesterone UID; it'll give you no periods whatsoever, or a very light one (lighter than with pills). _Depo will make you fat, and OUT OF STANDARDS! Ah, you're only 17 (and I'm 22); how are you 100% sure you don't want kids?! I didn't want babies at your age, but when I turned 20 I decide I will have mines around 27 or 28. You could always change your mind, so stick to birth control for now.

And I generally yell a lot and am harsh on children. I just hate them and think they're annoying. And I LOVE my body, I don't want to deal with a pregnancy. And I'm going Army, so no time for that. If I ever wanted one afterwards I'd choose the less selfish option and adopt. And also Depo doesn't do that to everyone.

  I just deal with it. Oh the cramps I had to endure when I was the convoy commander in a crammed vehicle. Midol and icy hot for the back pains and having to deal with the embarrassing smell that comes from lack of showers on certain bases. Always has some great female wipes...HIGHLY SUGGEST IT!...don't use baby wipes. Nothing worse than running a 12+ mission and not being able to change your tampon! During basic after the first month I stopped my period but its went back to normal right away. And when I changed birth control a year ago my periods became odd and un-regular. It just sucks, even your a solider or civilian.

I really feel sorry for those military men that clicked this post.
As for how to deal with your period, I know it sucks but taking the pill/Depo to prevent it or an IUD is really your only option. You are too young for any doctor to consider tubal ligation.

Lol how do you deal with your period during normal everyday activities? You suck it up and do what you have to do to get through the day. If you don't want to get prego, avoid having unprotected sex, even on birth control. Birth control is free, and if you're healthy, the world is your oyster. You can pick any kind of birth control under the sun. It's a fact of life and won't interfere with your duties unless you allow it to. Good luck!

I think my last unit knew when I was on mine and would have us run pt evals every time... hurt the score a little but oh well. Lol. Or there was the time I got off my 12 hour night shift and had to do a 3 mile formation run while I was dealin with that, on top of not having slept before work cause I was moving. biggrin
Military life makes plenty of other things so difficult, a period becomes a minor inconvenience to add to the list. Lol.
Same old remedies as anyone else.

Shiver` I just deal with it. Oh the cramps I had to endure when I was the convoy commander in a crammed vehicle. Midol and icy hot for the back pains and having to deal with the embarrassing smell that comes from lack of showers on certain bases. Always has some great female wipes...HIGHLY SUGGEST IT!...don't use baby wipes. Nothing worse than running a 12+ mission and not being able to change your tampon! During basic after the first month I stopped my period but its went back to normal right away. And when I changed birth control a year ago my periods became odd and un-regular. It just sucks, even your a solider or civilian. ^^^ In fact, never use baby wipes, always get the Always wipes. They're scented and because of that they will make you at least SMELL clean in the field. Baby wipes just make you feel wet. You just ******** deal with it. Army? You know those two pockets on the pants by the boots? Guess what fits perfectly into those? Tampons. I suggest against the pill if you can, me personally I always forget that stuff when I'm on active duty because I don't always have my phone or some other device that I can set to remind myself.

I just deal with it. I've had my period for almost 10 years, now, and I've had to deal with one every month. It really doesn't faze me, since I'm pretty used to it. I would suggest if you're doing more active work to use a pad, rather than a tampon, because I've seen girls get really torn up from wearing a tampon during strenuous missions. I, myself, don't want kids, but I'm not going to take a pill, or mess up my hormones taking random stuff, or putting random things implanted into my arms, either. I'm not sexually active, so I'm not going to terrorize my body more than necessary.

Well, everyone here covered up, though the situation with me was a little different because I was in the Navy, but if your flow changes when you join there's nothing wrong your body is reacting to the difference stress and such. I happened to me, because the Navy cause me so much stress I would have my period every 15-20 days and not 23-30 I would normally before, but once I processed out it when back to normal.
