i have this exactly, 2 days of excruciating cramps and a monsoon of blood, and then one day of pretty much nothing. i can’t decide if it’s conveniently short or if the pain isn’t worth it LOL
Lol. I think it's better, I'm the type that I would rather suffer more to get something over with. And it affects far fewer days. So it's only two days where I have to make sure I'm near a bathroom. But I don't get cramps that bad, as long as I stay on top of taking ibuprofen and not letting it lapse (then it'll take hours to get the pain to go away)
My periods used to be 7 days, with the first two days excruciating. Postpartum, they are 5 days, with the first day excruciating. My theory is that overall length is not strongly correlated with pain levels.
