Oh my opinion on periods is it is another excuse for women to whine about..
Why I am single I can't figure? (I can be sensitive)

I hope that you aren't saying this to women you are dating or hope to date.
Menstrual cramps and PMS and PMDD are all very real and they are not just "another excuse for women to whine about."
Did you know that there was a time not that long ago when menstrual cramps were thought to be entirely psychosomatic, caused by some inner conflict in a woman's femininity? People believed that cramps ran in families because girls were taught by their mothers to expect pain, and that periods were a bad thing.
Fortunately, things have changed since those Freudian days, and scientific advances--as well as social progress--have led to a better understanding of menstrual pain.
Scientific experiments using pressure monitors (like the ones put inside the uterus during labor) found that women who experienced bad cramps actually had measurably stronger uterine contractions than women who did not feel much menstrual discomfort. In some cases, these spasms of the uterus created as much pressure as labor contractions!

Said it plenty to my ex-wife.

Seriously I do realise the physical implications and I was not entirely serious. I wonder how my daughter will be like with PMS when she is older. I think I will be a little more understanding and considerate during this trying time for her. I hope so anyhow. I does make me happy in the fact that at least my ex (being the custodial parent) will cop some of what she served me with my little girl.
The whole dating thing.....well if I have to throw my hat in the ring I have to accept this as a part of the package I guess. Better than the alternative. Until then Rosie palmer and her five daughters don't have PMS and are very obliging. LOL

How old is your little girl?
If a woman has PMS, PMDD or cramps, these are all something that a woman can't help having. There are some women who are more affected by it than others, however.
I would say that I am affected by PMS a medium amount. While I try very hard to not let it affect others, sometimes it still does anyway.
I'm affected by cramps a lot more because I have endometriosis, which in my case makes them worse. When I took birth control pills to treat the endometriosis, the cramps were better but the PMS or PMDD was a lot worse. I was much more volatile than my usual self and my parents, with whom I lived at the time, said that I was acting like a little witch. That was not something that I was doing deliberately. I was still trying to not let the way I felt affect other people. I think that it must have been caused by the changes in my hormone levels.
When I took fertility drugs later, when I was married to my husband and we were trying to have a baby, the same thing happened to me. If this is how women with PMS or PMDD feel every month, then it is amazing that they don't let it affect the people around them even more than they already do.
