showbiz_liz posted:I never even know how to answer "so when did your last period start/end"... you mean when did I start getting brown discharge, or when did I start cramping, or when did I start seeing actual red blood, and then the same in reverse. Starting is the first day of actual bleeding, not spotting or brown discharge. Ending is I assume the same in reverse, but a bit trickier to tell ime.

AITA for embarrassing my fiance in front of his Mom and Sister?quote:My fiance, Green (27M) and I (24F) have known each other since High school. I love him so much but he does of a tendency to Mansplain things he doesn't fully understand. Places have opened up in my area and so we went to dinner with his mother, Purple, and his sister, Pink.

Yeah. I'm not against the idea of having a kid, like, I don't *not* want children? But I've never been at a point in my life where if someone handed me a baby I would want to raise it, and I don't think 'tick tock' is a good enough reason to pull that trigger. My siblings have kids, so I have little kids in my life - I don't think I want to have one of my own at this point. Too old.

Why do large pads without wings exist. I accidentally grabbed a pack of overnight pads without wings and it just feels too loose. My period is heavy enough that I use these during the day, but if the ultra large four fold long pads didn't exist I'd be screwed.

Most times the stupid wings just curl up or don't stick properly anyway and then they're a vector for blood to sneak down the sides.

My niece turned 16 a few months back, and it's odd chatting with a teenager who I helped potty-train, and having to keep a straight face when she says she has a serious question for me....and asks, Aunt Cowslips, would a vampire be able to make your period pretty much be done in, like, one feeding? Because we need to find some vampires.

I just had a flashback to a time when a cheap pad came loose from my panties, so that when I took them off, my pad was still stuck between my thighs until I sat down. Unfortunately this all happened in a matter of seconds, so I didn't even really notice it. Until I went to flush and realized that the pad was floating in the toilet like a canoe, carrying passengers. 💩 🚤

I should crosspost to the schadenfreude thread because I haven't read that book in like 20 years and I remember that plot point.

One time I hadn't slept for three days because of various medical emergencies, and I was putting in a pad and fumbled and dropped it into the unflushed toilet. That is the most tired I have ever felt in my life.

I'm still regular as rain with my IUD (I know.  ), but at least I don't feel horribly depressed every month due to PMS! Anti-depressants might have helped as well.

Fuuuuck me I've passed three massive clots in the last two days and the hits just keep on coming. Picture the silver top part of a coke can. Imagine a red blob the diameter of that. That's what's been shooting out of me along with a shitload of blood. I was worried about haemorrhaging but the day before it stopped completely by lunch and this round only started again after midnight. Still, it's been about seven hours of scarlet. I feel otherwise fine - no pain, no light-headedness or dizziness - but I'm gonna call my GP anyway. I have PCOS so I'm wondering if something burst. I'm genuinely considering if I should push for some kind of surgery over medication, like that thing where they destroy the uterus lining.

T minus three hours to the appointment where I get my Nexplanon replaced for the first time. I was super anxious and then the lady at the women’s clinic made me feel better... But then the other day my penis-having GP went on a long off topic rant about how much harder getting implants out is, even though his most recent experience with BC implants is from 10ish years ago. Now my anxiety is worse than before. It doesn’t help that I’m in limbo for test results related to different health issues and the general state of my entire life right now (marriage/personal/work/emotional) is massive horrifying change.

Like, I didn't know about clots until I actually started having my period, and pad commercials still only have these light dainty amounts of light dainty liquid in them.

Grumbles about that fact that you aren’t supposed to take Lexapro with NSAIDs but ibuprofen is the only drug that sort of puts a dent in my period cramps. Grumbles harder than I had to look up the drug interaction myself and no one ever told me. That said, I am happy I don’t have my teenage level period cramps anymore. I’d be more pleased if the pill worked on me anymore but  .

Zoesdare posted:T minus three hours to the appointment where I get my Nexplanon replaced for the first time. I was super anxious and then the lady at the women’s clinic made me feel better... The usual process for removing Nexplanon is super straightforward: anesthetic, a little hole, and a squeeze. I have a connective tissue disorder that means my Nexplanon is always encapsulated, which is considered a difficult removal. The only actual difficult thing about it is that because it takes a smidge more internal cutting, only an actual MD is licensed to remove it. It still goes incredibly fast. Out of 4 replacements, the only difficult time I've had was when I had a real rear end in a top hat NP who wasn't legally allowed to make that cut, so she decided to wrestle with it forever instead of just calling over an MD. If they try to do that, you can just put your foot down. I went back the next day and the MD had it right out in a minute.

I realized when I was younger, I used to keep a calendar and would mark off when I had my period. I don't do that anymore, but maybe I should: I lose track of when I had mine last, but realized today it has to be close, after I spent an hour trying to get a bluetooth thing to connect to my phone, most of it in tears. Ooooh right, it's about that time again. Dazer, POST.

I can deal, even with running out of tampons and having to use pads. I don't bleed for 12 hours after that point. Oh, ok, cool, I can deal with periods like this. 9am this morning: hahahaha, gently caress me, flood gates open while in crazy amounts of PPE for my job. Thank God for my emergency stash in my work bag or it would have been a call for the hubby to bring new pants.

I fuckin hate UTIs, and the worst part is once you catch one it's easier to catch them from then on. And they make you feel like a crud person who sucks at living. And having doctors tell you how to wipe is so humiliating. THANK YOU I KNOW it just happens sometimes god. They always go over the wiping thing, I wonder why they never tell you to pee after sex or masturbation. Those are also really easy ways to catch one, and not pissing after having sex is how I caught my first one when I was like 20. Oh man, one of the last times I went in for one, years ago, the doctor was so handsome. Like movie star handsome. Having a so handsome stars are twinkling around his face person telling me how to wipe was the WORST.

Y'all be careful with UTIs, I had one once that went mostly undetected and ended up almost dying from a kidney infection. I was dating a guy-- okay, well, there was a guy, and he had a cock like a loving battering ram, and that thing just murdered my whole downstairs mixup. He was cute tho

I used to get UTIs almost constantly, went through the "how to wipe" lecture, the "pee after sex" lecture, nothing helped until I realised (by myself) that I had to sit on the toilet and wait 5 more minutes after peeing and I'd magically be able to pee the REST of the pee that had previously been festering in my bladder causing issues. Pee #2 is often even bigger than pee #1 too. Not sure how or why that happened but getting ALL the pee out made the UTIs stop entirely.

When they put my mum on blood pressure meds, it made her blood pressure so low that she couldn't pee and her kidneys stopped working. Doctors in a&e used to walk into the room, look around, go "yep smells like a uti in here" and then leave to perscribe drugs. I haven't had a uti since I was like 15, I just get thrush instead.

getting a uti puts a long rear end debuff on your urethra, making it easier to catch another for a good while if I smell even a hint of *that* uti smell when I pee my rear end is slamming water and cranberry pills, and praying to every deity that exists 50/50 I still get one and have to go to a clinic for antibiotics I honestly wonder if shaming women for masturbation in the dark ages didn't save some lives, because kidney infections are no goddamn joke

My wife was a virgin when we started dating and I told her, you gotta pee after or you'll get a uti. She got a uti the first time we took a trip together and has been absolutely terrified of a repeat since.
