Quick TakeRaise your hand if you’ve heard this one? “What you’re experiencing is normal.” “It will work itself out.” “You’ve had periods before, you should know how to handle that.” “It’s just stress, sweetie.” Too many women live with cycles that are heavier, longer, or more uncomfortable than what’s medically considered “normal.” No one should have to carry menstrual challenges alone or be left without options for a better future. This month we’re sharing Tyra’s story of feeling dismissed and how getting out of her comfort zone and exploring a science-backed innovation changed her life for the better. |
When Silence Becomes a Burden
There’s a particular kind of physical and emotional drain that comes with having disruptive periods with no support in sight. For Tyra, the drain came from heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) caused by von Willebrand Disease (VWD).
Tyra’s periods weren’t just difficult. They were all-consuming, with near month-long periods and bleeding so heavy it disrupted every part of her routine and occasionally sent her to the hospital. Fatigue stole her focus. Pain made it hard to rest. And every time she spoke up, she heard the same reply: “It will stop one day.” Tyra carried that heavy burden of menstrual disruption and hopelessness for years.
It’s a familiar story for many women: the body is demanding help, but the world responds with a polite pat on the head.
We say, enough!
Finding a Better Way Forward
Tyra’s story was a hopeless tale, but all that changed when she stepped out of her comfort zone and discovered OhmBody. What she found wasn’t another side-effect-ridden pill, more absorbent pad, or empty reassurance. It was a wearable technology designed with women in mind and built to support menstrual wellness.
Trying OhmBody in a Spark Biomedical clinical trial gave Tyra renewed hope as well as a new sense of confidence. While her condition didn’t disappear, the way she moved through her cycle did. Her energy lifted. Her days felt more predictable. And perhaps most importantly, she felt control return to her life.
Beyond Symptom Relief
Looking back on the phrases we’ve all heard—“It’s normal.” “You’ll grow out of it.” “It’s just stress.” Tyra’s story proves that we don’t have to accept them as the final word. There is support. There are options. And there’s a community ready to listen.
At OhmBody: we hear you, we see you, and we’ve built support that can help.
