Female Aspies and their monthly

I quite by accident in May came across that I am an Aspie.

I went to the doctors in June to see if I could get some help with reguards to my monthly. With disreguards to the daily battles of how any Aspie copes day to day, my first reaction was to try to combat my periods first and then deal with the Aspergers side of me.

I'm 39, and have always suffered more around my period time, I general would say I only get about 10 free days maxium of my monthly not adding to just general day to day survival.

I only seem to suffer slight pain the first 24 hours of when I begin to bleed, that I can handle. It's the mood swings I'm in desperation for help with.

I am going back to the doctors this coming week, to discuss going down the lines of a diagnostic about the Aspergers, I'm in a very dark place with it and not coping at all well.

My plea here is not down the lines about the diagnose, but, more from any other female Aspies how they cope with their periods and if there is anything to help this time of the month?

  • Thank you Crystal and Azalea. I think it'll be time to bite the bullet then and try the pill. When I spoke to the doctor in June I was asking and enquiring about the marina coil or the implant as I have heard from various mainly NT females that this has helped them, lots. She didn't want to try this but did suggest the pill. My two fears of the pill were how forgetful I can be where pills are concerned and please do not think me of as vain as I can assure you I'm far from it, but the fear of weight gain. Even more so considering I do work within the fitness industry.

    Time to put those fears aside now and try it.

    Thank you again ladies.
