An Endless Cycle

  It happened. I woke up in my Bed and felt horrible. At first, I didn't understand why. I haven't eaten anything new, and I didn't drink since my first Hangover. But the weirdest thing was that even Healing Magic did not help, and that was when I noticed something trickling down my legs. I pulled the sheets off, and there was Blood around my crotch.

  Damnation

  I was having my first Period. Commonly, a Woman would have experienced her first Period by age 11-14, sometimes even earlier. The Body I was using was in Age about 20, but as a Man, I had no experience with this. I could have dealt with it by using Death Magic, but that would have turned me Infertile, and having kids and going through periods are two things I wanted to experience as a Woman. And I, who wanted the whole experience of being a Woman, didn't want to give up on the first obstacle.

  So, I remembered the Knowledge related to Periods from my two sisters and began my Day. Against the Blood, I fashioned a piece of Linen as a pad. But there was little I could do against the bloodstains that were already on the Bed. When the Maid who brought my Breakfast saw the mess, she frowned at me.

  "Have you also forgotten about that, my dear?" she asked with a sense of pity.

  It was already common knowledge that I had “amnesia.” I don't really have problems remembering. It's quite the opposite. I didn't feel good lying to them, but it was the safest approach.

  "I'm sorry it must have changed," I said, embarrassed.

  "Well, you better start finding out when these days are. But it is best to sleep with a pad until you know. “She said like a mother to her daughter.

  Even though I made a mess and ruined the bedsheets, the Woman was very kind. She explained a few more things before changing the ruined bedding with a heavy sigh. Thanks to Otto, my speech has improved a lot. I can understand most words, but when it comes to talking, I'm still so shy that even when I know the words, my head just goes blank.

  This whole experience is embarrassing, but I could manage if it is just this much. But sadly, it wasn't. Aside from bleeding and the occasional Headache, I also had to start frequenting my Chamber pot more often, and my belly started to hurt. Hiding this from others was very difficult, and Rika eventually caught up on it.

  "You seem to be a bit different today?" she asked with a hint of suspicion

  "It... It's my Period," I whispered into her ear.

  "Why are you whispering?" she asked.

  I whispered again in a harsher tone. "Because It's embarrassing.”

  "There is nothing to be embarrassed about. It's a good thing, silly," she said slightly mockingly.

  "I know, but all the other Women seem to deal with it just fine," I replied angrily.

  "Who? The maids? They already had a bunch of children. All the young women struggle just like you." Rika said like a know-it-all.

  "Well, you don't seem to struggle," I groaned slightly.

  Rika replied with a toothy smile, "That's because I'm fortunate. I just have had a bit of bleeding for two days and no pain at all."

  I felt the sudden urge to punch her but held back

  "Then why am I not seeing it,” I grumbled.

  "Because you are not used to it, but they are. Sometimes, I wonder just how much you still remember. It looks like you have also forgotten about Periods." Rika said sarcastically

  "You don't have like any tips?" I asked, already dreading the answer.

  Rika looked at me with pity and answered, "Sadly, there are none, but wouldn't your magic fix it?"

  "No, it would not. Because this is natural, and I'm not injured." I whined.

  "Well, good luck." after saying these words, she left me alone to grumble in the clinic.

  The rest of the Day wasn't much better, and my Period would remain like this for the next two days before finally stopping, and I could breathe through.

  Since this fateful day, my Period would always start in the middle of the month, but it would take me a long time to get used to it. Also, women tend to have lighter periods the more kids they get and the shorter the interval between their pregnancies. So, there was no immediate relief.

  For me, Endometriosis sounds like an absolute nightmare.
