Well I got my period tonight! I fly on Saturday. Close call. It should be over by Monday. No misery during the eclipse! Hooray! Also this should be the last full period ever because my hysterectomy is on May 3rd. Unless I get yet another one a week early. You'd better loving not, you bitch.

One of my friends is TA'ing for an environmental science/policy class and at the start of the year the students had to make a post identifying an environmental challenge and how to address it. This idiot guy decided his issue was the waste caused by disposable menstrual products and the solution was hysterectomies.

You'd always know exactly when it was coming, you could just go chill with your girls in the red tent. The cramps are here. It's day 27. Could be today, could be a week from now, who knows! I would like it if it would hold off at least another 24 hours because I have a dental appointment tomorrow goddamn it

He can take it up with all the medical professionals who refuse to perform hysterectomies on anyone who requests them for all the loving stupid reasons they always come up with.

Or, you know, we could snip men and that means we don't need so many diapers? I remember a coworker who complained nonstop when his wife had her period, because his libido wouldn't stop for a week. He was trying to persuade her to get a hysterectomy because he didn't want needles near his dick. They were both very child-free. He finally got snipped. And now that's part of his personality, telling men and women alike how great it is to be able to spray all over and never have to worry about kids, like ever.

The kid also included some math about the number of children a man could theoretically sire in a lifetime and had vasectomies as another recommendation but something about citing menstrual products as the great evil of all pollution had me

I mean that is a big number, especially if you go biotruths about consent. I still am fascinated by people who think tampons give women sexual pleasure. Men, does anything that touches your dick bring you sexual pleasure? Including a kick with cleats?

I found the exact thing the kid wrote, so here it is in all its verbatim gloryquote:Get your uterus removed to reduce the use of menstual products to minimize pollution. It also contribites to population control and less world hunger and poverty.

Kid is an idiot. The trouble with neutering the males is that it only takes one to fertilize dozens of females. In cats. I assume humans work the same way.

I just started what might be my last full period for a while. I'm getting a Mirena installed while they're checking a polyp. I also had/have a ovarian cyst that was hurting, but I think it dissolved or something. I have a new gyno and I really like her.

The second one didn't really do so and the third I had installed two and a half months later because the other had to be removed to do biopsies didn't either. Maybe Canadian Mirena isn't the same as US ones? Anyhow my husband said he can kinda feel the string sometimes but it doesn't bother him, the spontaneous no barrier sex on demand far outweighs that. What bugged your husband about it, if I may ask?

I have paragard and my dr wanted me to try mirena to see if it would help my ovarian cyst-uation and it just made me depressed (all hormonal birth control does) and i just spotted constantly. Went back to paragard 3 months later. Everyone reacts differently. Bodies wildly vary.

I think my suspected UTI is actually an ovarian cyst, which if I have had them before I've never noticed. I am not having to pee constantly anymore but now I've got this dull ache in my side/back. Highly annoyed bc I did this virtual visit to get antibiotics for the UTI late Sunday night because I was traveling early Monday for the eclipse, felt better Monday so decided to wait to take the ABs if I didn't need them, then worse Tuesday. Went to an urgent care to get a urine test done because I did not want to take antibiotics if it was not necessary, the provider was like "just start the antibiotics now and we'll let you know if the culture comes back as something resistant". Started the antibiotics on Tuesday and the test results just came back in, and they are negative.

First time after having my Kylena inserted, my partner was uncomfortable with it poking, but since then, no complaints. I wish I’d gotten an IUD sooner!!!! All the docs telling me not to switch off BC pills with basically if it ain’t broke don’t fix it attitude. Meanwhile I’m like ‘I’m gaining weight, I still have a tidal wave heavy period, I’m depressed, have zero libido, and I still have to take separate migraine medicine.’ How is that not broke? Then there was a year of indecision when they finally agreed I could get an IUD after I read all of these horror stories. Most of those experiences could’ve been much less traumatic if the GYNs had listened to the patients suffering; since I’d gone through years of doctors dismissing my needs, I felt vulnerable to the same problems. TLDR: Women’s health in the US is hosed up. But, yay IUD since April 2021

I'm not currently on mine right now, but I picked up lexapro yesterday again for the first time in like half a year and it gave me the craziest night sweats I've ever had. Uncomfortable, clammy, fan and AC on etc. You menopausal guys just deal with this? All the time? I'm gonna have to deal with it when I start menopause? Hell on earth. (I've got some Vitamin E on the way to hopefully help that.)

I got lucky, my strings softened and they usually just wrap around on my cervix, or so the box doc said last time I was in the stirrups. I've told my husband that if for whatever reason IUDs are a no go he's getting the snip

My first one stayed pokey the entire time I had it, my husband would jab himself sometimes and he's kind of a sensitive person (in the kittens are so cute they make him cry way, not the toxic masculinity and insecure way) and it kind of freaked him out because he was reminded I had this 'thing' embedded in me and it made him sad that life had to be difficult for me.
