Hi, loooove the tattoo, always wanted one but could never decide on something I would be happy to see everyday for the rest of my life!
Have you ever considered Persona? I've been using it for the last ten years and it only let me down the once (but have a beautiful daughter) when we were in Thailand. I didn't know you couldn't trust it when travelling over time zones!
Having talked to my cousin who's a gynecologist I think your body is def pi***d off with the change in hormones so is holding onto every ounce of fat it can! It also explains your sweet cravings. Bloody hell, a whole month of bleeding! What's that done to your iron levels woman?!
