OMG, what's happening in my pants? (The period episode)

People have been having periods since the world began. But where you fall generationally has a great impact on how you talk about it, and what questions you feel comfortable asking. Sarah is a solid Xennial, but she’s asking questions we can all relate too, including: What causes cramps and why are they so bad for teenagers? Besides pregnancy, what are other reasons for skipping periods? WTH is up with…blood clots, toxic shock syndrome, big boobs and upset stomach during your period? Does a super heavy period mean you could have had twins? (SPOILER ALERT: NO, but Dr. Fleischman lets Sarah down easy.) Do we need any special soaps or cleansers?  The guest for this episode is Dr. Anna Fleischman, an OB-GYN from WakeMed who was the fourth doctor (at least) to remind us no one needs to douche!
