Ugh I want to give big, consenting hugs to all y’all and the crap you’ve been given for making decisions about your body and fertility. I was ready to fight when I saw my surgeon bc I’ve had so many doctors tell me the same about “you’ll change your mind” when I would clearly state that no, I’m in my late 30s, I’m a sex-repelled asexual and generally terrified of carrying a child. Plus I had lived in TX for a decade so yeah my rights were already getting stepped on. This surgeon was like “you don’t have to justify anything to me. I studied at UT, so I get it. Plus I wanna take out the uterus from anyone that doesn’t want it.” That’s me only mostly paraphrasing, she did say she enjoys doing these procedures if a uterus-haver asks her to, because it’s our bodies! I know surgical sterilization isn’t for everyone, and it took me years to finally get the nerve to push the process forward after I saw some success with my peers getting it done. So I recommend it, and I hope my ramblings about it can help anyone else. Also, I guess to still fit in with the thread lol, I’m still spotting. I’ve dubbed it the Midwest goodbye of the healing process; it’s taking its sweet time leaving!

Gratz. And now for something new and horrifying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dWC1lnDpcw Just sloshing around up in there until it gets reabsorbed. OTOH why can't all of it go that way and be reabsorbed? Why are you bothering me with this mess, body?

posted here months ago about the constant lower abdo pain and nausea and fatigue I was getting from an ovarian cyst - well, I had a follow up scan 3 weeks ago and no sign of any cyst or even recent rupturing but my symptoms haven't improved at all and my period last week was horribly painful. The consultant gynae I saw thinks it's more likely the cyst was never the main cause of pain and there's a strong possibility endo has been the culprit all along! I'm 30 and until this last year haven't really had major problems with periods, they've always been light and with mild cramps but in the past year the cramps have been getting worse and periods lasting for like, 2 weeks at a time which I guess could be endo related. they want to do a diagnostic lap and excision of any endo they find but I'm second guessing it because I feel like I don't have the classic endo symptoms and what if they don't find anything and I've have surgery for no reason

Ugh I hate the start of spotting, just give me a warning cramp, get a pad on, and start! It's times like this where my mind keeps flashing back to the rather disturbing sequel of The Color Purple, mostly about Tashi and her FGM survival. Mostly how in her husband's chapters, he admits that he never thought of it as a continual thing, just something that happened to her once and was done with. Meanwhile any woman knows that if your period would be lasting for almost a month at a time, and going to the bathroom would take you almost half an hour, that's not something that just goes away mentally or becomes just a one-shot deal.

Pookah posted:Be well, and recover safely. So it's what, a week later, and that last period just did not happen. It's an odd feeling, I've always found periods to be, at best an irritation, but the prospect of maybe never having another one is very weird.

I have been an emotional wreck with horrible sleep and no appetite for the last three days. Period started today and now I am so hungry nothing will satisfy me. All I want is subpar Chinese delivery so I am ordering that I right now. My boyfriend continues to still want to be with me after seeing what a mess i turn into, so at least we know he’s a keeper.

The missing period finally showed up, two weeks late, but just as enthusiastic as ever. I do not welcome this irregularity, it's bad enough when it's predictable, the prospect of having Suprise: Blood Bomb! at random intervals is not pleasant.

Before I was getting treatment for my pcos it was sometimes a whole year between periods which was super unhealthy but also made it actually showing up a big surprise!!

Flamingofarts posted:It’s all I’ve ever known, but it definitely isn’t my favorite thing. Up til now, mine has always been extremely regular and very heavy. So, kinda swings and roundabouts. I've been very lucky in that I've never had any cramps or pain, apart from a little mittelschmertz, but the first couple of days are super-annoying. Having to get up twice a night to change everything because you bled through your SUPER tampon and giant pad is exhausting.

It's me, I'm the weirdo who gets very little actual period-time cramping or pain but I go gonzo while ovulating. Horny and inhaling carbs while that egg is bouncing around in there like a pinball.

Welp! Got my nexplanon replaced and my bloodwork back. I asked if the high levels of testosterone + my other symptoms were enough or if I would need to do anything else to be "officially" diagnosed with PCOS. Doc said she'd say it's pretty official, but didn't actually clarify whether she was going to add it to my medical records/chart. She also didn't seem to think there was much they could do aside from the birth control I'm already on, and maybe putting me on spiro. Except I don't actually care about my happy trail and masculine wiles (I a little bit care about my thinning hair), I'm more concerned about whether insulin resistance is a thing I have and should worry about. But everything else this particular doctor said did not reassure me that she'd respond well to, "hey my internet friends say that even though my blood sugar levels all look normal I could still have insulin resistance because there's special tests for that". At least the new nexplanon means no more finding zits in places I didn't think you could get them! Hopefully.

There have been times when it waited until I had time off work to start and I was so grateful that I didn't have to spend several days worrying I would bleed into my jeans 🥹 but this was annoying, and then Third-Day-Worst-Day arrived RIGHT as I went back to work. GRA

I think I know why I had two cycles in a month and why for the past six months my period has been psychotic? My Mirena is 4 years old at this point, I'm fairly sure my uterus sucked off all the candy hormone coating. C'mon PR card show up so I can get my health card so I can repeal and replace this bitch

Just calculated that I’ve had somewhere around 330 periods in my life. Yet as I go another month without getting knocked up, my uterus continues to make me sad and make my body hurt. Like can we just cool it, man?
