My breasts get to be more sensitive for a few days, and sometimes I get mild cramping in my lower right abdomen, but rarely more than mild. I'll probably gain a pound or so from retaining water.

My periods are not usually very profuse.
I donate blood every three months or so on the advice of the PA that I usually see. I tend to have high blood iron levels at least partly because of my low carb eating regime where I eat a lot of red meat. I have type A negative blood, which they always seem glad to get.
