Hello (Sud-Ouest, Burkina Faso)

Twice a week, for several hours on both occasions, I have incredibly violent sex with a very well-endowed man. I also have PCOS. My period isn't exactly like clockwork, but it always comes, and I can always tell what part of my cycle I'm in. When it finally goes out of whack it"ll be because I've been consuming too much sugar. It'll have nothing to do with my lover's big dick, or the frequency and duration of rough sex.

For the edification of the lady who thinks PCOS means no longer having to worry about pregnancy, I'd like to add that I was born to a woman with PCOS. I was not her first pregnancy, simply the one she chose not to terminate.

Mirena. My doctor told me that very few women choose the copper one nowadays.


This is not totally true. I happen to work for a very large ob/gyn practice. It is true we put in more Mirena IUDs than the Paragard copper based type. However, the reason for the discrepancy is not because the Mirena ends your period. The majority of the Mirenas I verify and precert with insurance are for medically necessary reasons. Mirena is used not only as birth control but as a therapy for regulating cycles. As far as people who are choosing an IUD solely for birth control it is about 50/50 with a small percentage still choosing Implanon/Nexplanon the hormone based device that is inserted in your arm. A lot of my patients I speak with prefer to go with the Paragard because it is hormone free. Many doctors in many practices simply push the Mirena because it makes them more money than the Paragard as it costs more and only lasts 5 years versus the 10 year copper IUD, meaning it needs to be replaced more often.

Your period starts about 12-16 days after ovulation takes place. The only way your period is irregular is if you ovulate later/earlier than the cycle previous. If you ovulate late, your period will be late. If you ovulate early your period comes early. The part of the cycle between ovulation and menstruation is nearly always the same amount of days.

That is unless she is anovulatory and she isn't ovulating at all, thus her periods would be skipping quite a bit or coming every week or two. That's typical of lack of ovulation. But still use birth control because she could pop an egg out anytime in the next cycle. Or just never start her next period because she popped an egg and it fertilized.

PCOS causes a lot of irregular ovulation, making it difficult to get pregnant but certainly not impossible.

Nothing you did would make her period start on a specific day, this is regulated by the hormones post ovulation having a concrete number of days that must happen in order to start her next period. It happens about 2 weeks prior to the period. Not the days leading up to and on the day of the period.

Hope this helps.

What I said is absolutely true. I truthfully reported what she told me.

She told me that less than one percent of all the IUDs she has personally inserted have been copper. She said she's put thousands in.

I never gave a reason for women choosing Mirena, I said that my OB-GYN said that women prefer it over copper, that's all. I said that my periods stopped because of Mirena, not that all women experience the same thing.

I found this, which is frustrating. I hope that this isn't part of my problem.

I've had larger dick and larger toys, neither of which have jack shit to do with my cycle. I have a Mirena IUD that I've been trying/wanting to have removed for over a year now. Menses for me floats around by about a week, mostly regular though. I -wish- it had stopped the monthly bleeding thing, but it didn't.

Unless your intercourse is so violent (and on a daily basis) that it causes a severe amount of bruising and inflammation - basically putting the body on alarm mode for self preservation, the size of your penis has absolutely nothing to do with this. Also if indeed that were the case she would now have reached a point where intercourse would be extremely painful to the point of not possible unless forced upon. The fact that a doctor actually told your ex that was the cause of her irregular cycles without digging any deeper is very troubling. Anyone who has studied the human body can confirm this without as much as a fraction of a second in thought.

Has she possibly lost a fair amount of weight in a very short period of time recently? Low body fat percentage can cause this.

Does she exercise a lot and if so has she possibly been training a lot more than usual lately? The body can be gearing towards procreation shut down mode in this case.

Has she been working many overtime hours at work or is she under an intense amount of stress about something? Shut down mode again to conserve energy.

Has she drastically changed her diet recently?

Is she on a calorie restrictive diet? If the body thinks there is famine taking place it will again react by shutting down procreation for a while to ensure survival.

Has she started taking any new prescription drugs recently?

Has she been suffering from insomnia? Everything goes out of whack with prolonged insomnia bouts.

Has she been drinking a lot of alcohol lately? Or does she eat a lot of fatty foods? Or both? The liver is directly linked to your hormonal balance.

Does she have diabetes or could she possibly be in the process of developping type II diabetes.

Basically, anything that can put the body out of balance can potentially affect it hormonally. Lack of sleep is a huge one as are stress and diet. Most often times menstrual disorders are directly linked to liver issues so diet and amount of alcohol consumption and drugs should definitely be considered. It is most likely possible that more than one of my questions will receive a yes answer from your girl.

Accupuncture combined with making better choices in order to lighten the load on the liver has proven very effective in helping to normalize irregular menses.

Wishing you all the best in finding the root of the problem.

We've had this. A terrible doctor told my SO that I should be "less rough". Bullshit.

It's likely PCOS (likely what my SO has as well). Could also be a single cyst. The latter can often be detected by ultrasound.

It's not your size and it's not rough sex unless by rough you mean you're punching her in the ovaries with your fists.

Thanks, Scorpio. I was really considering an IUD and my GYN and I were discussing options. Surprisingly, she sides with copper and I was the one asking about Mirena. I've been on bc pills mainly for regulation and she's gently pushing me to go IUD. I will have another talk about Paragard.

I realize this is deviating from the topic, but I would really not recommend an IUD after my experiences with one. :frown1: Granted, I know a variety of women who have had no problems with one. I just... am not happy about things have gone for me. Nearly constant pain and when I tried to have it removed it wouldn't come out (even though the "strings" on it are still where they ought to be).

Thanks, Fade. That's one of the reasons I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I've been going over this for years, and I keep hearing horror stories. But I hear horror stories about the pill, too. And I've been on it since I was 14, so no telling what it's done.

Ellie also consider that the copper doesn't have hormones so it will only work for pregnancy insurance and do nothing for your periods but make them heavier possibly. If you want to continue receiving benefits from hormonal altering of your cycles then Mirena would be the best IUD choice for you. Copper will last longer but that could mean 10 years of painful, heavier periods.

I've known some women whose uteri never liked IUDs. You sort of adapt to having a foreign object in there or you don't. Some women cramp and can't ever adjust. Others love them. It's very individual.

I personally never liked the feeling of hitting the tug wire with the head of my dick. It hurts.

I can def answer yes to most questions here with my last ex, she was just a mess which at the time I didn't know.

Her period wasn't just irregular it just didn't happen, which I attributed to her recent weight loss and vegan lifestyle but her doctor mentioned it was likely due to rough sex. I wouldn't count it out either as we had a lot of sex during the summer and all she wanted was rough sex so I can't really be sure with her.

The current girl I'm seeing however is back on her regular cycle again, we didn't have sex last month to see if it made any difference and it got back to normal.

Still don't know if I had anything to do with it, but odds have increased. I guess we'll find out next month.

I think I've gotten great advice here even the offtopic comments were interesting.

Rough sex won't make the uterus shed its lining (a period).
Rough sex can tear the opening or batter the cervix and even punch the cul-de-sac enough to render a little bit of bright red blood. Only a smidge. Compared to a period.
If she mentioned having rough sex with a large cock, her doctor wouldn't have any way to know if it is her period or just post-coital bleeding unless he saw it for himself.
If it was rough sex, they could determine that from looking into her vagina, not her uterus where the period would be coming from.
Having a period at any specific time is related to HORMONES not trauma to the body parts near by. Sorry, even women in a coma still have a period. Even extremely handicapped people have periods. So it's all about the pituitary gland regulating the menstrual cycle with help of the ovaries (which don't get battered even during birth enough to mess up a cycle from trauma. Listen to those who know and own a vagina.
And what about all the times she's had a period when she hasn't been having rough sex. Or when she's not started a period when you have had rough sex. Think about it.
