boobs hurt feelin' cranky

I hate getting all the symptoms and no actual flow tho. Something about the pill I'm on makes it really easy for me to miss a period if I'm stressed, and life has been a huge morass of stress lately. I crave the confirmation that I'm not pregnant. I took a lot of pregnancy tests in the months leading up to my wedding a few years ago.

I remember growing up all my books on puberty made it very clear that you should avoid scented pads and tampons at all costs. Never seen em in the wild tho

I probably already posted this but I did try an IUD once...they took it out an hour later because the pain was too intense.

Fortunately (?) for me I'm a huge loving risk for breast and ovarian cancer so once I finish having kids (???) I'm getting ALL that poo poo scooped out.

And I'm gonna get AWESOME huge breast implants so I can be the hottest MILF at the PTA meeting

AITA for embarrassing my fiance in front of his Mom and Sister?

quote:

My fiance, Green (27M) and I (24F) have known each other since High school. I love him so much but he does of a tendency to Mansplain things he doesn't fully understand. Places have opened up in my area and so we went to dinner with his mother, Purple, and his sister, Pink. (14F)

We were talking at dinner when Pink started complaining how horrible her period has been and can't predict it whatsoever when it comes. She asked if i had issues with it too. Purple chimed in that irregular periods can be pretty normal. I agreed but said that if she's really concerned she could see a doctor.

This is when Green pops in suggesting his sister start taking birth control, as it helped regulate mine. I had to remind him that i had my period twice a month in high school and it was necessary. Purple also brings up she's not comfortable giving Pink birth control yet and would rather try to wait until 16 or 17. They go back and forth with Green trying to explain how he knows its best for her and is getting slightly louder in the restaurant (He's naturally a louder person). I saw Pink shrink in her seat a bit as people were looking at our table.

I ended up speaking up and said, "Okay, Green, if you can tell me right now what the R on a tampon means, you get a say on whether Pink can take birth control."

He stuttered and thought about it for a bit and ultimately gave up and the topic was dropped and we got on with the rest of our meal. Though his mom and sister were still giggling about it a little bit before we left.

When we got home, he said what i did was an a**hole move and i didn't have to embarrass him like that. I told him he was getting louder and embarrassing Pink over a matter that he doesn't get a say on and knows little about. I don't think i did anything wrong but I'm starting to feel bad, and think i could've resolved it in a better way. AITA?

Way back before I was on hormonal birth control I'd get like that around ovulation-- boys were just suddenly waaaaay more attractive and kissable and then I'd feel the mittelschmerz and all the pieces would fall into place.

Nowadays that's what happens when I start my next pack of pills. Maybe some kind of hormone rush?

There was a tweet going around a while back about the ultimate end-of-period lifehack: grab the Hitachi and get off as many times as you can so the contractions force the dregs out, then take a long shower to clean up

It came up in the r/elationships thread today so here's your reminder that some dipshit chiropractor thought he had solved menstrual hygiene: just glue your fuckin lips shut.

dispshit chiropractor Dan Dopps on the Mensez facebook page posted:

Yes, I am a man and you as a woman, should have come up with a better solution then diapers and plugs, but you didn’t. Reason being women are focused on and distracted by your period 25% of the time, making them far less productive then they could be.

I had my first mammogram at 26 (also family history). I went to a Solis mammography center and was really pleased with the service-- I felt like they valued my comfort level. When the mammogram images weren't super great (dense breast tissue) they switched to ultrasound which was even less invasive than the standard squish. I plan to keep going back once I hit the big 3-0 and need it done yearly.
