Stupidest advice ever given to you by a Doctor

I’d guess that most men are aware that women have periods (I’m male, by the way, since by handle doesn’t make it obvious). I suspect you’re about the only reader of this thread who’s grossed out.

However, FTR, none of my GF kept a calendar record.

Good for you! It was the best thing I ever did.

I was told to take 2 weeks off, and when I did return, I couldn’t do any sort of heavy lifting for an additional 2 weeks. I needed every bit of that time.

That you know of. I’m hardly embarrassed by these things, so I’m certainly not hiding anything, but I’m sure if I asked my current boyfriend and the last handful of guys I’ve dated if they knew I tracked my period on my phone, they’d probably say no. I mean, I have no idea how they’d know and it’s not exactly information I sing from the rooftops.

I’m sure if I were married, my husband would be hip to what’s going on, but I figure at that point, my fertility is a group effort.

This. You may not be aware when your GF were keeping track. Case in point. I just recently discovered my HUSBAND has been keeping track of my periods! :eek: I had no idea.

You better have a talk with him-- I hear it’s obsessive and, frankly, a bit gross to track a period. . . especially when you don’t have a uterus. :stuck_out_tongue:

It was hysterical when I found out. I made some off hand comment about being a little or something and he let slip that he knew. I almost fell down laughing. I didn’t realize how paranoid and gross he apparently was.

It’s not like my PMS is that bad… Is it? :stuck_out_tongue:

Maybe he just wants to know the best times to approach you, if you know what I mean. :stuck_out_tongue:

Mid-cycle is usually a winner.

Of course you were hysterical.

The word choice was not accidental…

:wink:
