A lot of doctors won't ever mention it because they aren't aware it could potentially be an issue (even in the sense that it might not last as long as predicted). Women specific healthcare issues are overall neglected

Enfys posted:Do not put honey up your cooch In my early twenties, when I used to wear thongs, I would get BV every six months or so as well as a yeast infection once. Cured the yeast infection by first dipping a tampon in coconut oil and then putting a couple drops of tea tree on it (the coconut prevents the tea tree oil from soaking all up into the tampon). After a couple days of that (changing the tampon regularly of course), followed it up with a tampon dipped in yogurt to help restore my flower’s flora. Worked a charm but ymmv I guess? Definitely don’t buy that lovely mlm garbage, but if you do some actual research you can oil up your cooch safely. BV got some garlic (cut a couple small slits in it!), followed by the yogurt. Gone in three days, although I would’ve gone to the doctor if it lasted longer. I did get to have the disquieting-but-hilarious experience of going to pee and wondering “why does the bathroom smell like garlic bread?”

Dunno why Im remembering the girl I went to college with who thought periods were punishments from god for not having babies who did a 4 year degree in 2 years so she could move back to alaska and marry her boyfriend and crank out babies and stop offending our lord jesus christ. She believed in free-bleeding, if you didn't guess, as easing the difficulty of her transgression was wrong.

Going in for a pelvic MRI tomorrow to confirm the confirmation of the confirmation that I have fibroids.  Maybe one day I'll get them lasered out, although apparently one of them is the size of a cantaloupe so my uterus might just be done for.

Mesimean posted:I'm having a nightmare of a period at the moment. So much so that I've got a doctor appointment monday morning. It started on the 14th in a grand explosion of activity. Alright, I haven't had a proper one in years, and they used to be very heavy to start and then a day or two later they calm down to nothing. It's now the 25th. It is still going strong and heavy. I've been emptying my mooncup every two hours for the last ten days, even through the night, and I'm still bleeding all over the place. With my terrible maths I've lost around a litre of blood and lining and whatever the heck is up there. It shows no sign of stopping. I'm so tired. I'm super pale and my lips keeps getting a blue tinge to them every so often. I feel dead. I hope you're okay!

My period's been surprisingly mild this week but it's also doing this new thing where close to the end there's a new burst of cramps and fresh bleeding for about 12 hours. Painful and annoying.

Sometimes I'll have weird cramps, as if my period is heavy but it's not. Then my cramps will subside when my period is on full blast. It's like it gets stuck up there and when it's finally released, my uterus is relieved or something.

Our duration of knowing each other consisted of me making this face a lot. She was deep into old sci-fi because, like, what the hell do you do in Alaska for a lot of the year except watch TV and read books. She also had never seen a black person before and took photos of the first one she met so she could prove to her family she was the first one to have ever(?) done so. I hope her and her weirdly philosophical alaskan frontier children named after star trek captains are ready to repopulate the earth after the rest of us die.

Halfway through my period and I woke up with a pounding headache and a general sense of shittiness. Here's hoping all the coffee in the house fixes it. Toilet posting as I have massive period dumps from all the coffee.

my period app told me that having a two day period every time isn't normal and now I'm like. Oh poo poo really uhhhh. because it's always been two days. it would be fitting if a thing I've lightly bragged about in the past killed me somehow. Although, I'd gladly trade my short periods for ones that were less painful.

Having uncontrollable sources dictate your mood is loving hellish, and I say this as someone who nearly burst into tears in August because the 99-cent store didn't have a chair. Yay for summer depression that people like to pretend is only about women being afraid to wear bikinis!

yeah I'm trying not to worry about it. Aside from being abnormally short they're pretty regular. I don't even spot before or after. I just dump all my blood out in a couple days and then 28 days later I do it again. So close to the dream of just dumping it all out in one go. Although I think if that was a thing that happened I'd probably put a fist through the cabinet next to the toilet from the pain during, so maybe it's for the best bodies don't do that

Mine are regular too and don't give much hassle, apart from the shortness everything seems fine. So let's count ourselves lucky!

Was put onto tranexamic (?) acid for 5 days which made me feel so sick on top of things, but seemed to have worked. Terrorfied I'm going to start bleeding again in a few days though. Now got the fun task of trying to get the doctor to investigate what is going on, or at least send me to someone else who can. Getting a face to face appointment with anyone is like getting blood from a stone right now.

my typical blood inundation is a pretty tame event, but this one is being downright unpleasant, at least by my own standards. Yesterday it was an evening of cramps and strong bowel movement, all of which made me feel like my insides were being chewed on from within; and today I’ve actually been feeling a bit of nausea, which almost never happens and which I distinctly do not appreciate dammit  on the bright side, these more intense cycles only happen a couple of times a year, and iirc they’re a bit shorter at times like this I find Let’s Plays of horror games oddly soothing

I often get shortness of breath right before I get my period, which is really not ideal during a pandemic. I also always get stomach cramps the night before and worry about why my stomach hurts because I literally never loving remember It’s coming.

My fwb came over last night, I hadn’t seen him in a couple of months. Somehow during sex he hit my cervix dead on. I immediately got massive cramping and nausea! Wtf! What bullshit from my uterus. Just lay around feeling dizzy waiting for painkillers to kick in, trying to at least make conversation, until he went home. My period isn’t even due until next week.

mine's been both weirdly light AND roughly on time per clue which never happens. I'm ok with this but frankly don't trust that the floodgates won't open at some point. And I forgot to buy more super tampons which I feel is asking for trouble.
