So the continuous birth control wound up giving me gallstones. So, back to having my period I guess and I just deal with the PMDD. So this will be fun.

But for real that sucks! I’m on the stage where I get 2-3 days of spotting, and an emotional hair trigger to rage or tears. Hooray ><

My friend told me that she doesn't view this as a perk, but rather a distraction for which she doesn't have much of an outlet and which makes watching shows that contain partial nudity that is not meant to be erotic kind of awkward.

My period is usually a huge-rear end flood. This month, it's just spotty. It's also late.

Ok I gotta ask a potentially gross question, but google is failing me as to whether this is common or not. Does anyone else deal with oral thrush/candida after their period? It seems to happen after about 50% of my periods, and I always assumed it was due to temporary iron deficiency. The internet also says is just bc your ph goes bonkers so your body says ok we’re doing this now. A good boost in iron (like a burger) seems to clear it up, but I wasn’t sure if others dealt with this, and if they had any tips to stop it from happening. I just hate the taste in my mouth for a couple of days.

And I get those horrid little cyst things about half the time, too, like tiny boils on my bits and pieces that take a week or so to go away. I dunno if you can stop oral thrush from happening but if you can get a miconazole oral gel that should knock it out pretty fast.

I feel like I get exponentially sweatier during my period but it could also just be that I'm hyperaware of all my body's grossness during that time. I'm on my second period with the Nuvaring and it seems like it takes days for it to start but it's over pretty quick now.

Second post-double pfizer vax period and it's just as suspiciously light as the last one which also only lasted four days when typically for me it's eight, I'm certainly not complaining but this is literally the opposite of what's happened to everyone else I've spoken to.

So I'm 19 months into the 5 year Kyleena. I know it was stupid but I got my hopes up re coil = no period and so far, it's made barely any difference. Has anyone had any luck with poo poo changing this late in or do I just accept it's not going to happen? On a completely different, disgusting note this has always bothered me but like... why aren't periods fetishised more? I'm glad they're not but it's always seemed weird. Compare it to scat, for example, which is also a bodily output yet seems to be 100x more prevalent and poop is arguably way grosser than periods. Everything else women do is fetishised (fat? thin? hairy? bald? angry at the patriarchy?) but menstruating is... not? Am I crazy for noticing???

Everett False posted:I just got rid of my gallbladder to save time. See, that's the thing: I don't have a gallbladder. They took it out when I had my liver transplant. The stones are/were just chilling in the bile duct. They may have broken up by now because the jaundice went away about a week after stopping the birth control and I never had any pain. So basically, I don't know what the gently caress.  Ayin posted:
Unfortunately, I think the only answer is "suck it up" til menopause. Unless, of course, the PMDD was being caused by being on the birth control in the first place, in which case this might be a problem that solved itself.

Stupid dark period started yesterday, two weeks early! This is what I get for the last period being so easy and non-crampy I guess.

Mine decided to do a half-assed start three days before it actually started, which was SUPER CUTE. I think this IUD is my last round of birth control. My partner's the one who doesn't want kids and they can drat well get snipped next time.

For the last few weeks I've been making some slow but steady progress with weight loss. I stepped on the scale yesterday morning and I was super unhappy. How the hell did I gain two kilos overnight? I better piss all this water weight out here in a few days.

Period exhaustion hit the other day and I fell asleep on the sofa. By the time I woke up my boyfriend had gone out and bought diet coke and crisps and chocolate.  He has no idea how much I appreciated him right then.

Has anyone had any luck with poo poo changing this late in or do I just accept it's not going to happen? I think, and this is just my theory, in the same way that breastfeeding has become sexualized: a period isn't overall because it affects a man's "right" to be aroused/gently caress. A baby nursing is gross because that's a baby on a place where a man gets pleasure. A period means, in addition to having to listen to her complain and whine, a man can't have sex with that particular vagina. I mean, I speak in generals. Most of the straight guys I know are squeamish about periods overall, and only a few of my male friends would probably, if I needed help, actually go to the store to get me a box of pads or whatever. I do remember an old college professor in a mythology class, describing some theories about why, in early early human development, women were often in charge of the group. He put it simply: if too much of this red stuff comes out of a man, he dies. But a woman, she has a lot of this red liquid come out of her EVERY MOON and still lives! And sometimes there is no red liquid, and a new person comes out instead! So clearly the woman is stronger.

I find the best way to encourage a period that's late by 3 days due to circadian rhythm changes is to stop wearing a pad in expectation and switch back to regular panty liners. Your blood will come within an hour, guaranteed.

I have to make an appointment to have my Mirena replaced and just the thought of making the appointment is giving me anxiety. It was VERY unpleasant getting it placed--the NP that did it was very new and very green and left the dilation clamps on me for fifteen minutes while she went and rooted around for something in filing cabinets, and there was zero numbing. They didn't tell me to take any pain meds beforehand, either. Any chance I could get, you know, knocked out? Maybe I can get them to call me in some heavy duty Ativan or something.

Still synced to the moon. The crampy moon. I had to spend a couple hours curled up with a heating pad for my abdomen this morning, but for some reason these cramps have moved into my major labes?!? I don’t like this one bit I tell ya.

This thread is a blessing, I'm so glad to find it.Poo In An Alleyway posted:Finally having a normal-ish blood flood for the first time since like...April, or maybe May. Good job, body. I've been dealing with similar issues as yours--long, painful, ridiculously heavy periods for no discernible reason. Has your doctor checked your hormone levels? My gyno had me get a blood test, I'll prob get the results after I also get the ultrasound she ordered (if I can find the paperwork...) I don't know how accurate it'll be, though. She told me to get the blood work done on the second or third day of my period, but I had a week of spotting, so I got it done the second day of regular flow. I guess I'll find out... You don't have to answer, but do you smoke pot? Apparently regular weed smoking can mess with your hormones, at least according to a naturopath who offered me advice. She told me to use yarrow, raspberry leaf, and/or flaxseeds to stop excess bleeding. She also advised using ginger, parsley, or pennyroyal to kickstart my period, which did work when I was sick of spotting and wanted to get it started and over with. I don't generally take advice from naturopaths, but I'll be damned if those things don't work. Good luck, I hope your future periods are normal!
