Got my IUD yanked out today. Good riddance. I'm glad I had it in my 20s but like... imagine picking up a handful of jacks and squeezing them in your hand, and that's how my uterus felt on and off every time I got my period. But despite my fears there were no complications at all, and the removal just felt like a weird internal pinch. Actually - does everyone get that feeling when they clean way deep inside their belly button, like you're poking yourself right in some internal organ you're not normally able to feel? It was just like that, but sharper.

If I got sent back in time to talk to 13-year old me, I'd be like "you don't need to wear pads ever again because even though you bleed through a regular tampon in three minutes, superplus tampons exist & are perfect for you" and then pop right back into the present without telling her about 9/11, Trump, or coronavirus because I'd flat out forget.

Definitely called my mom in a panic the first time I started peeing blood lol Another important UTI prevention tip: don't sleep in thong underwear!

I wore a thong one time and it felt so gross & uncomfortable that I never did it again, kind of like the time I tried tweezing my eyebrows but stopped after one hair. Every attempt I've made to be more feminine has been cursed.

Your brows are probably awesome as is, but if you are unhappy with how they look, you should know that the sharp pain of plucking completely disappears in a fairly short time. It's like your body goes AAAAA for a little while, then goes ,"ok this is normal" once it's done a few times. Seriously, the fuss just vanishes.

Even if they were like giant caterpillars on my face, I think I'd just leave them. They never did nothing to nobody.

I find thongs useful for aesthetic purposes only, otherwise I'm out here in my breezy boyshorts living that UTI-free life. I did know girls on my hs cross country team who wore thongs even for our hella distance runs and it always baffled me

I wear thongs pretty regularly but sleeping is purely boyshort country. Also for the eyebrows can I recommend wax for your hair removal needs? I’m a masochist who loooves getting waxed, it’s like one big pluck! I’m so hyped for my first Brazilian come the end of the month.

I miss getting my whole face threaded but I'm getting more comfortable with my thicker brows. To the point where I'm actively darkening them with brow powder for work every day because I think it looks better. Luv 2 be living in the thick brow renaissance

I weirdly like sleeping in my underwear, even though I gotta let her breathe sometimes. I will be doing a trip report on getting waxed I think.

I sleep with underwear if I’m on my period or wearing a nightgown, mostly because I like my lower half covered. YeahTubaMike posted:If I got sent back in time to talk to 13-year old me, I'd be like "you don't need to wear pads ever again because even though you bleed through a regular tampon in three minutes, superplus tampons exist & are perfect for you" and then pop right back into the present without telling her about 9/11, Trump, or coronavirus because I'd flat out forget. I wish this was the reason. I have vulval vestibulitis so I can’t use internal period products because coming into direct contact with or stretching my vestibule makes it feel like someone’s jamming burning knives into my vag. Yes I do know it applies to tampons as well as speculums and fingers due to a traumatic beach trip attempt at age 15, why do you ask. (All traumatic tampon stories stem from someone’s beach trip as a teenager from my experience.)

I finally read the whole thread! I’ve got an implanon implant, just recently. Had them for about 10 years before having kids, then after kid one got mirena, got that out to have kid two and was keen to get back on implanon after that. I always found my symptoms pretty mild while on implanon, and my periods stayed regular, but I am having the worst moods for pms and during the first couple of days of my period. I have only had two periods so far on it, and both times I was a sobbing mess at various intervals. Is there anything I can use to help me regulate the moods a bit? I have an appointment with my gp to talk about it next week, but wanted to know if anyone had any experiences.

I've been expecting my period for like two days. This morning there was a small amount of blood and I was like, "Ah, at last." Except I didn't bleed another drop after that and just had diarrhea and mad ovarian pain all god drat day. Period tomorrow maybe. I miss having exact 28 day cycles every month and not the "could be two or three or five days before or after you expect" that I've been getting.

I thought I was getting a uti...turned out to be a kidney infection. Couple months later I got a kidney stone. Opposite kidney as the infection. The upside was when I went to the ER they gave me a blanket that was pre-warmed. And morphine! Both of those things are great after you have been vomiting from pain for almost two hours

hopeandjoy posted:Boy I wish I could stop waking up to a blood spot on my bed at least once every single period.  Seriously. The padded absorbent area goes from your pubes in the front all the way up your butt crack in the back. Wider than any pad too. Tampon commercials kept saying pads feel like wearing a diaper, and finally I was like, well why not try it? Better than any overnight pad, haven't had a night time leak since. Obviously they are a little bulky and no good for stealth, but they are fine to wear overnight. Anybody in your bedroom who judges your feminine protection choices can jump off a bridge.

They came out of some special cupboard that heated them up. Similar to the the above post, I saw some disposable underwear in the shop last month but specifically for overnights during periods and tried them out because I bleed like a motherfucker and have ruined many a sheet. I felt kinda stupid at first but they were effective and don't go moving about like normal overnight pads do, so I would recommend. Mine were Kotex brand. Period started today finally. Trash.

Oh gods that reminds me as a stupid kid, seeing our unspayed dog wearing old underwear and thinking: Man, that has to suck, I'm so glad that'll never happen to me, people don't go into heat! This was a few years before the sex talk. Ah, time gets her revenge on us all.

I have somehow managed to have Manic Panic Vampire Red in my hair for lo these eight months past without absolutely losing my poo poo over the color bleed, but I do now have four pairs of black satin sheets as a result and recommend them to anyone. Luxury! Sensuality! Hides stains!

I'm getting pretty loving sick of having painful rear end tits for a full week before every period. it's not great for the ol' gender dysphoria and besides that it just plain sucks poo poo. I should start saving up the money to get them yeeted anyway. By the time I save up the cash for it maybe covid will be a thing of the past.

I feel like I have to pee waaay more often during my period even though I'm not drinking more water than usual. I don't know if this is a common thing or just a random tragic quirk of my body, but it is super annoying.
