Since I'm currently going through one of my heaviest and most unpleasant periods of my life I felt I needed to know what other mammal on this miserable planet has to bleed every month. I knew it couldn't just be humans...however, from what I have read we have it the worst! So fucking unfair. So what other animals get to join in our misery? Well apparently humans are part of the 1% of the unlucky bastards on this planet that have monthly menstruation..
1.Primates have them too... no surprise since they are out closest cousins. However, not all primates have them. So there are some other monkeys out there laughing their asses off at us.
2.BATS. Yes. Apparently the flying rodents have periods. No wonder they are so pissed off and attack people when they are disturbed. They are probably in the middle of PMSing and just want to be left alone in the dark...I know I can relate to that.
3. Elephant Shrews. No, I'm not talking about our highly intelligent friends who think we are cute like kittens.. they are also little rodents who have long trunks like elephants.
So that's it. Out of the billion on species on this planet. We are 1% of them who get the bloody pleasure of periods each month. How does that make you feel? I'm personally pissed off!

Hows your diet and or exercise levels?
Lots of different factors contribute to the flow levels.
Once I stopped using tampons pain levels shrunk by 30% easily

Menstruation in mammals is the shedding of the uterine lining (endometrium). It occurs on a regular basis in sexually reproductive-age females of certain mammal species.
Although there is some disagreement in definitions between sources, menstruation is generally considered to be limited to primates. Overt menstruation (where there is bleeding from the uterus through the vagina) is found primarily in humans and close relatives such as chimpanzees.[1] It is common in simians (Old World monkeys, and apes), but completely lacking in strepsirrhine primates and possibly weakly present in tarsiers. Beyond primates, it is known only in bats and the elephant shrew.[2][3][4][5]
Females of other species of placental mammal undergo estrous cycles, in which the endometrium is completely reabsorbed by the animal (covert menstruation) at the end of its reproductive cycle[citation needed]. Many zoologists regard this as different from a "true" menstrual cycle. Female domestic animals used for breeding —for example dogs, pigs, cattle, or horses— are monitored for physical signs of an estrous cycle period, which indicates that the animal is ready for insemination.
