I have never lived with a boyfriend before, but I was wondering about girls that have moved in with their boyfriend, is it awkward that first month you get your period and you are living with him? Do you feel uncomfortable? We are going to be moving in soon together I think, but I feel awkward about getting my period.

Having a period is a normal, natural function of female life. He should know that you have a period each month... just like you should know that he takes a dump, farts, and burps.
If you are worried about something like him feeling awkward about your period, then it sounds like you are not ready to share anything and everything. You should be more worried about how awkward it will feel for you BOTH if you DON'T get your period. A more legitimate question would be, are you both ready for that? Not to say it will definitely happen, but the chances surely increase when you start having sex more regularly.

Girl,
Just because you are moving in together doesn't mean your not still a female. He knew you had a period before and he knows now. That is going to be the last things on his mind. He's going to be thinking about the times when your not on your period and the idea that you will be living together. If you know what I mean?????

If you're going to be living together it'll be awkward getting used to each other's living habits in general. You having your period will be just be another one of those things to get used to. You've had your period before when dating a guy. The only difference now is you'll be living together, but so what, it's still the same thing that happens every month. :)

I am 20, and by the time my boyfriend and I moved in together we were already "comfortable" with eachother. My honest opinion is that if you're nervous/ambarassed about something as little as your period you should rethink how well you and this guy know eachother. If you're not that comfortable with him that means you don't know him that well, and maybe you shouldn't be moving in together. People change ALOT when you move in together, sometimes it's okay and sometimes it's bad. Prepare yourself for even bigger battles, your period is the least of your worries :) . How long have the two of you been a couple?

I've lived with my boyfriend for a while now, and yeah it can be creepy at first. But if you're not comfortable enough with him to be able to have your period, well then maybe you're not ready to move in yet. Cause there are other "embarrasing" things that will happen. And if it really bothers him, wrap up the "stuff" with a lot of tissues and toss it so he doesn't have to know..

Do you guys not talk about it now? I am sure you have had to tell him once or twice that you have your period. He should be mature enough about it to not think anything of it (even when guys aren't mature, they still understand about your period, and the natural aspect of it). If you guys aren't comfortable enough with something this natural, you may want to wait a while longer before moving in together. Once you move in together, your period will be the least of your concerns. Being comfortable with your body and with each other should be found long before you move in together.

Honestly, if you are not comfortable enough around him and you are worried about getting your period, then you are definitely not ready to live with him. I'm not trying to be all high and mighty and say that you shouldn't live with someone before marriage, etc. I did live with my boyfriend (now husband) before marriage. But I was comfortable enough around him that getting my period was not an issue. I would take a step back and reevaluate your situation. That is a huge step in a relationship, and it really doesn't sound like you are ready.

When you are on your period now he knows just be clean when i moved in with my husband he was my boyfriend then and he also had a room mate but i was preg. i so i didn't have period but i did everything else . Everything will be fine the only problem i had was his roommate used to walk in on me using the bathroom and that was when it was time for me and him to get our own place so that roommate only lasted the first month..If you move in with him then you are prob comfortable with him Has he seen u pee before? he prob. has seen u naked right? you dont have sex when u are on it? sometimes it feels good unless you just have bad cramps

Why should it be anymore awkward than when you weren't living together? If you are moving in together, you should have gone through several periods with him already, which should alleviate that "awkwardness" you are describing.

No is it not awkward. You may be suprise that he tends to you will you are on your period. I lived with my bf while in college then I moved back to the caribbean and we are moving back together again.
