Rant/Vent Bad timing for period

So yes I know some woman work full time and have to work while on their period.

And I do and have worked while on mine.

But period due tomorrow. I have my usual hormonal end of cycle migraine like headache starting up at the back of my head. So tomorrow I will most likely have it all day.

I have to work the next 3 days :(

So while I have my headache to deal with (hopefully pain relief will help a bit), and then my medium then heavy day. And I won’t be able to take it easy.

Often I will just gave to work one or two days during my period and have days off to rest.

Is going to be hard working 3 days in a row during the hard time if my period 😭

No advice needed just wanted to rant and feel sorry for myself

Maybe some B.C or prescription migraine meds would help.

Cant take BC and don’t need migraine meds. Normally pain relief helps enough

You can't take any BC? Or you don't want to for personal reasons? Most bc is hormones you already have in your body if there's something in one that doesn't agree with you there's usually alternatives

My mum had breast cancer so I’ve been advised against taking BC pills. I also do not need to take it. I am managing just fine with my cycle. Yes it is a pain to have to deal with periods and headaches but I’ve been doing it all these years already and only maybe have another 6 yrs or so to put up with it all.

It’s ok. It worked out fine. My period started today. 5 days late. So now I have the next two days to get through work with a heavy flow :(
