I've known my boyfriend for a month and a half, and now I'm on my period!!How do I talk to him about it? I'm absolutely terrified about the idea, mostly because I don't think any guy wants to know or hear, really. I'm afraid he'll feel uncomfortable if he knows I'm on my period, but I know he should know, because I tend to be a little tense during this time of the month, and I can get very whiney, lol..

 i think he would be more embarassed if he made love to you and you didnt tell him. happened to me once when i was younger. i was doing oral, when i looked in the morror i looked like a ribena man :) or dracula. serious though, he has to learn so talk to him about it. maybe your the one thats realy embarassed to talk about it.
sure he will be ok
take care and good luck

He probably knows about the stuff anyway, after all he's had other girlfriends with the same problem hasn't he? If you face just telling him write him a note saying 'it's that time of the month. Sorry about my moods' whenever you are on.

hey well i know how you feel but given the right signal your guy should work it out and so each month exsect you to be moody and whiney (its normal!) but if you feel you really want him to know the ins and outs then sit him down and just tell him how it is but dont just jump in explain it carefully so he gets it all ad make sure its right t go telling him oyur personall problems he has to be the real thing not just something that will flee next week! but im sure he will understand but dont scare him with all facts! some are a little to personal that i doubt hed even want to know! best of luck xxx

I actually think that most guys will be happy that you want to share such private information with them. But sure, it depends. I for one was really interested in finding out everything about my gf, the more private, the better.
He should know for many other reasons. Like if it comes to sex, or something, it would be better if knew beforehand, rather than getting frustrated if he didn't.

 I would say that you don't have to tell him - why do you want to tell him so badly? If it happens that you are very tense and grumpy or whatever, and he gives you a confused stare because he doesn't know where the bad mood is coming from, then by all means mention it. Just say, 'Sorry, babe, it's just that i'm feeling a bit tense... women's problems.' But other than that, there is no reason for you to even have to tell him, so don't stress about it.
However, if it happens that you are getting intimate with him, then you must say that it's the time of the month. From what I've heard from guys, they like to know when a woman is on her period - some are comfortable with having sex with a woman while she's 'on', others are not so much. To avoid any uncomfortable, awkward situations, it's best to mention that you are on your period at the time. I seriously don't think that would freak him out - i think he'd be glad you warned him.
But if you're not in an intimate situation around the time of your period, then you really don't have to tell him anything. You don't have to get it printed on a t-shirt to notify him that you're having women's problems! That would be classifed as "Too Much Info!" Save telling him for when he really needs to know.
Hope this helps!
