The bloodgates are due tomorrow AND we found out yesterday that on Monday and Tuesday my husband was exposed to someone who has tested positive for the covid. Prepping myself for the possibily the worst period possible.

^^^^I hope your test comes back negative! There's always a good chance of that!

my tits hurt. Apologies to everyone in here who is apparently on the same cycle as me (tomorrow or the next day to start). We're gonna have halloween itself ruined this month. I was very unhappy when I looked at my tracking calendar.

or perhaps that's perfectly on brand. at least I'll have some candy.

How are we all on the same cycle? I don't see this thread for 2 weeks and then as soon as I start feeling crampy it resurfaces.

I'm a week ahead of the thread, so grateful I won't have to deal on Halloween (my cycle is ridiculously short), but I will happily contribute to hexing Mitch Mcconnell into covid

My neck of the woods (Netherlands) doesn't want us to get tested unless we have symptoms, which we at the moment don't. I think it's due to lack of tests. Despite America stealing the spotlight for being a covid shitshow, the Netherlands isn't doing so hot either.

My PMS pains have been light this cycle, but I have had vaginal discomfort to add to our communal power pile. Last night Mr Ralph and I were getting busy, but I had to have him stop cause I had extremely unpleasant tingling. Turns out that despite washing your hands you can still have capsicum on them from cutting up spicy peppers. It will go away soon enough, but it's disconcerting to have burning flavor in your vagina.

I had a pap smear earlier this week, and my god it hurt. My vagina also kept hurting. I also just got my period like the rest of the thread. Also planning on having an IUD planted later in the year. Please tell me it won't hurt.

The IUD might hurt going in, but if it hurts regularly that is big time not good. If the person putting it in is experienced your odds of it being smooth are better.

I know when I had my first cervical smear I was not at all sure what to expect; and it was...weird? Like, imagine someone reached up inside and poked your kidney weird; It didn't hurt, but it felt like a bit of you that really didn't expect to get poked just got poked.

Mine is due next week and I'm considering starting up on year birth control again cause I'm so sick of dealing with this. I stopped taking the pill cause of acne and I realized it killed my sex drive, but I'm real tired of having horrible cramps and feeling like poo poo a week every month.

That sucks.

I'm two months on mine. Bled for like 10 days about a week after insertion. I'm on my 2nd period since, and while the bloating/cramps were terrible, I'm hoping for a repeat of last time which was 2 days of bleeding over about 3 days.

Same. Still being able to smell the odor wafting from my cloth pads is a nice reassure that I still have my sense of smell and have probably escaped the roni.

Always brand pads over here have a scent to them. I don't like it because I can't separate it in my mind from the other smell that's always going on when I smell it. Also I think they give me boils on my bits sometimes and nobody needs that.

I never really smelled a tampon or a pad, which really makes me question the efficacy and need for such a thing. Yeah sure it’ll be drenched in blood and smell like pennies in ten min but before that it’ll smell of daisies? why.

They don't even advertise that they're scented, so if that's what you've always used, you just think you smell like that. They started making me feel ill eventually.

Found it on the antimlm subreddit. A lot of them oil pyramid schemes advocate shoving oils up into your vagina. One secret big pharma doesn't want you to know!

Tried them in an emergency, the cooling effect was surprisingly.. nice? in a hot muggy weather. Wouldn't use them regularly though, probably very much not good for your vag health.

Also, implants are awesome. I had two copper iuds that expelled themselves after three years, switched to implant after the gyno suggested that "lol maybe iuds are not for your vengeful womb then" and no ragrets. Periods are basically non existent now, haven't seen any side effects and have a weird stick inside my arm. Love it.

I didn't know you had to be below a certain weight to get an implant.

I haven't really looked into birth control options since I've had sex like eight times in the past ten years & the "mini-pill" (norethindrone) is the only one that I know of that doesn't interfere with my epilepsy meds.

Most hormonal birth controls have very low control weights that they used during testing. If a woman is out it that range, the hormone dose is too low and therefore less effective. This is particularly a problem for things like implants/hormonal IUDs where they produce exactly one dose, there aren't higher dose ones available.

:unsmith: i like nice words
I've the implant for years despite being over the suggested weight range the whole time. The way doctors have explained it to me, when you're bigger, it leaches faster, so it expires sooner. However, while it's working it should be equally effective. I know it's working on me because I don't have a period on it -- and when it starts coming back, I get it replaced.

That said, I also use condoms because duh

e: I've also seen this study specifically testing IUDs and Nexplanon in overweight and obese women. There's another one I remember but it isn't coming up now...

I'm overweight by 50 pounds or so and the IUD worked fine for me for years and years. My doctor never said anything, but then again he's a dude so who knows.
