Failing to menstruate means that I get to experience even longer periods of bloating and entirely unnecessary hormone induced bouts of irritability. It is not unusual, when in the midst of one of these episodes, for me to burst into a room, uttering monosyllabic responses to any questions thrown my way and essentially proclaiming, "Hulk angry! Urghhhhhhh." Now, I do not rip my shirt off and turn green (although that would make for interesting conversation), but people sometimes do look at me like have become some sort of beast.
Stress brought on by an increased workload and my (relatively) recent trip to India caused some irregularity for me these last few months, but I am pleased to tell you now, Interweb, that my period is back on track. And I am naturally also thrilled by the return of my period induced breakouts.
Hooray!
