The first one after that long wasn't super bad, other than the part about it lasting for two weeks. I've generally been pretty lucky with that.
You're pretty lucky, my one friend IRL has wonky periods, and and didn't have one for 6 months, and then had it for a month afterwards, which is the reason she was put on birth control. Now my sister was put on birth control due to the fact that her periods caused her to collapse and blackout.
Anyhow, I finally invested in a decent carry bag to put my stuff in, that I bring with me that doesn't fit in my pocketbook. I was using a green grocery bag for about a year now.
