My dear traveler ,
I have a serious problem. My period has decided to go on strike! It packed its cramps, mood swings, and chocolate cravings and just disappeared. I have been waiting patiently, like a mother waiting for her child to come home from school, but this child is missing in action.
At first, I thought maybe it was just being fashionably late, you know, like those aunties who say they are "on the way" but haven’t even left their house. But now, it’s been too long, and I am starting to have negotiations with my ancestors. Did I offend the gods of ovulation? Did my uterus decide it needs a vacation without informing me? Or worse, should I be worried about an unexpected guest arriving in nine months?!
This is where I must remind you, my sister, that we must take care of our sexual and reproductive health! We cannot leave things to chance and "vibes." Check your cycle, know your safe days (but don't trust them too much, eeh!), and if you are engaging in adult activities, please be responsible. That kind of Qweshunga is all fun and games until …….. anyway , Let’s not play hide and seek with pregnancy tests, thinking they will change their minds if we check five times in different lighting.
As for me, I am off to have a serious conversation with my womb. I will give it one last chance before I start writing missing person reports. Meanwhile, please take care of yourself, visit a doctor when necessary, keep track of your health, and don’t let your period catch you by surprise like an uninvited wedding guest.
With love and mild panic,
Fellow traveler.
