How Do I Say "I'm On My Period" Without Saying It?

Published in Menstruation Alternatives 1 min read

Here are some alternative ways to say "I'm on my period" without directly stating it, ranging from humorous to discreet:

  • Code Red
  • Girl Flu
  • The Curse
  • Lady Trouble
  • Falling Off the Roof
  • Red Menace
  • Red Storm
  • Menstrualcidal
  • The Great Flood
  • Monthly Volcano of Doom
  • Aunt Flo is visiting
  • That time of the month
  • I'm experiencing some monthly maintenance
  • Having lady issues
  • My uterus is staging a rebellion
  • I’m a little under the weather (can be vague enough while implying something's up)
  • I'm not feeling 100% (similar to the above)
  • Shark Week

The best option depends on your audience and the context. If you're talking to close friends, something humorous might be appropriate. If you're talking to a colleague or someone you don't know well, a more discreet option might be better.
