asaf posted:She has some form of arrythmia. She tells me it was described to her as multiple inputs of "some kind of fiber or nerve" that send out-of-sync signals to the heart, and was told by her doctor that she could be treated for it using metoprolol (a beta blocker) or have it permanently solved by "an operation where they burn these fibers off." A bit of wiki-ing suggests that this could be AV nodal reentrant tachycardia, which is more common in women than men, and it sort of matches up with her description of how she felt on the one or two times she noticed it happening. And the condition can indeed be treated using beta blockers or through some kind of cauterization/catherer ablation, which I imagine is probably the burning thing she referred to. Certainly see a doctor, but I have a heart arrythmia and take metoprolol for it and have been on BC for 10 years now. No doctor has ever mentioned it being an issue.

drat Bananas posted:***Gross stuff ahead!! Boys, turn back now!!!*** I went in to get a pap on the first day of an unexpected period. My doctor had no issues poking around, but warned that with the blood the lab may not have enough clean stuff to test and if so I would have to come back in after it ended. I would call your gyne and ask them what they recommend.

KillHour posted:Well, of course her BC is her decision. When did I ever say it wasn't? We had a short discussion about what she wanted to do, and she pretty much just said "whatever the gyno suggests." I brought up that there are alternatives to the pill that she may want to look into if she didn't want to have to worry about taking something every day and left it at that. The "what if" talk is going to be pretty much "If you're not comfortable with getting an abortion, I'm not comfortable using only one form of birth control. Let's keep using condoms." From last page, but I had one script that gave me really bad nausea the first day or two of every 'new' month/pack, but then it went away and the rest of the month was fine. This lasted the entire time I used that BC (the patch, not a pill)

Mouse Dresser posted:I'm in month 3 of my Mirena IUD. For those of you that have one, how long did it take for your periods to slow down/stop completely? Mine seem to have gotten worse. Not heavier, but they last longer with slow flow and spotting. That, and the cramps are far worse. If it matters: 35, no kids, generally a regular period that lasts 4-5 days before Mirena, now lasting 7-10 days with Mirena. Also still have occasional spotting randomly during the rest of the month. I had one half period the month I got the IUD, and three months of 2-3 days spotting the year after. However, I was also on the pill for 10 years, which may have helped.
