God. Not getting a period very often since going on Nexplanon has REALLY made it more obvious how loving wild hormones make me. I've been spotting for two weeks and for that two weeks my impulse control has just been GONE. I am hornt up to poo poo and buying so much dumb garbage. I'm chatty as hell suddenly letting the absolute cringiest poo poo fall out of my mouth. How much money have I spent on energy drinks and candy in the last two weeks. I have no idea and I refuse to find out. The whole thing kicked off with three days of heavy bleeding and a migraine, which is a theoretical improvement over my unmedicated migraine, hell cramps, and straight week of blood tsunami. I used to do this once a month??? God. No wonder I dropped out of high school. I thought I was coping better with ADHD due to my age but maybe I'm just finally mostly free of whatever the gently caress this is. I mean, I'm fine with it right now. I'm enjoying the many bad decisions I'm making. But I just had that moment of self-awareness that in a week when I recover my marbles I'm gonna be real pissed about this.

Usually my periods are really quite light and don't give me any trouble but I just started it in the middle of like two and a half days of airports and long international flights and I never can stay hydrated while flying and find it difficult to eat well which always makes me feel like poo poo for a few days after and I was gone for six weeks and so now I'm super jet lagged and hot and miserable. I knew it was coming so I'd prepared and carried my period underwear in a carry-on bag in case, and also always carry a few Megababe shower sheets while I'm traveling for freshening up during layovers and such (super recommend!), but still mega inconvenient and was giving me PTSD flashbacks to my first which was also on an airplane, but as an unaccompanied minor on the way to visit my grandma and of course I wasn't prepared even though I knew what to expect and no one told me that most airplane toilets have a compartment with pads and stuff and so had to seek help from a very kind and sympathetic flight attendant and ya so that was traumatic and embarrassing and just all over horrible and I wanted to crash and die. So yeah gently caress dehydrated jetlag period.

I know my periods are usually heavy. But today was the worst. Just constant bleeding so heavy I could feel it. I also had my first major non-back leak. It ended up on my calf!  At least I was wearing black pants.

Hey, so like, I've got a question because I don't know about any of this and I ended up chatting with my wife about her IUD after some of the women at work were talking about theirs recently at lunch. Anyway, wife has talked with her doctor about this and she didn't seem to think it was any cause for concern, but we'd be interested to know if anyone else has a similar experience. My wife previously used (made use of? had installed?) the Mirena IUD, and then one day like a few years in, but still within the effective range, she started experiencing some pain and it turned out to be a pregnancy and it was probably ectopic the doctors said, and they pulled the IUD and monitored the situation and it turned out to resolve itself with no further intervention. We decide that's not something we want again, I get a vasectomy to prevent all that, but she also gets a new IUD for menstrual cycle regulation as well. This time they install a Kyleena, only now she doesn't get a period at all, whereas before on the Mirena she did have a sort of medium one, down from heavy prior to using any IUD. Now, evidently this is sort of contrary to what one might expect because the Kyleena has lower hormone levels or something? At most these days she kind of gets irregular cramping that I've starting calling a phantom period though I don't think the timing actually lines up correctly for that to be what it is. Anyway, like I said, her doctor doesn't seem too concerned, and she says she doesn't miss it, but also she didn't object to me discussing her period or new lack of with strangers on the internet, so is this familiar to anyone else? Any experience going between these two products?

I just had Kyleena installed in May and so far I’ve had mostly cramping with super light spotting for like 2 weeks straight with maybe 2 days in the middle with light flow. I used to get super heavy flows. I am having a hard time putting my finger on a start/stop for tracking and cannot tell if my moods swings are coming from major depression or if I can chalk it up to PMS and keep having faith in the Prozac.

I have never, in the thousands upon thousands of reports I've typed, heard of someone who got pregnant with a tubal ligation. Removing the entire Fallopian tube is called a salpingectomy, and that is even more effective than a ligation (and can nix any chances Fallopian tubes cancer!) Essure seems to be a mixed bag from what I've read, but again, I don't recall encountering a report where there was a pregnancy from it. If you can only get a ligation, ask for a fimbriectomy - that removes the little "fingers" that sweep the released egg into the tube. Be calm but very firm that you want to minimize any possible chance of pregnancy. You got this! I wish there was a "take a uterus, leave a uterus" option in life though, drat. I'd love to donate my eggs n ham to someone who wants it

I'm obviously not a medical professional and just reading wikipedia but wikipedia says the failure rate of a tubal ligation is about 0.5%, giving or taking depending on the type of procedure. It gives the hormone arm stick 0.2% but hormones scare me tbh the ones i'm already on gently caress me up enough as it is if i can ever get a gynecologist to call me back i'll ask for the more complete removal though, thanks

I much prefer the pre and ovulation part of all this compared to the weepy cramps and thinking everyone hates me. Much easier to think sexy thoughts and plan on what toy to use when I get home than, well, everything else.

I’m asexual (and generally sex-repelled) and wish I could give this organ to someone that would want/use it. I told a trans friend of mine I wish I could give mine to her, and she said that was not the first offer she’s received, so now and again I ask her how many uteruses (uterii?) she’s hypothetically collected (at least three!)

Killingyouguy! posted:yeah those odds seem pretty unreal for outright surgery Hi No offense I mean it I mean it!!^ But worrying this much about getting pregnant after a tubal ligation means means you should consider seeing someone about possibly having an anxiety disorder like I have I had no history of it, I had just had regular depression and it manifested as health anxiety and I did not even realize that was what I had for a few years which were miserable

Imagine if dudes felt every sperm produced. I was on a literary kick, realized I didn't have The Color Purple, and bought it and one of the sequels, Possessing the Secret of Joy. Now to be fair my Color Purple initial copy ended up read so much it fell in two, and I've read Possessing but drat it is hard to read again. It's about Tashi, the Olinka girl/woman from Color Purple and details a lot more about her life including her getting FGM in her teens. Her mom refused to let it happen when she was a baby, or a child after her sister bled to death, but as Tashi grows up and all her life is stripped away by the rear end in a top hat white people taking over the village, she decides to get it done because it's a sign of her people. Of course getting this done at age 18/20 leaves her a crippled mad mess, but the book doesn't shy away from how her period now takes a full month, and going to the bathroom takes an hour.

I'd also suggest getting a really strong electric blanket and when he's sleeping cover him in the blanket and turn it to max. Then act all surprised when he wakes up sweaty and upset and say just choose to ignore it and rise above.
