I don't blame you. I'd have a good cry if I was in your shoes too. I got mine back 8 months pp, and I still cried. Periods are never fun, regardless!!
Periods just suck.
They really do, regardless of timing, which usually happens to be the worst. I always would get mine the day I decided I was safe to wear white scrubs. A few unfortunate hours later, I would realize how wrong my wardrobe choice was.
