You take one and follow up with a second a few hours later. At least that's how it worked for me. Spilt dosage I guess.

Yeah, I was on the pill and then had to go off and depend on just condoms. Then my husband and I had a scare when the condom slipped off. One package of Plan B later and no pregnancy I called my doctor and told him I really needed something not just condoms. He hooked me up with a lady doctor who was also a researcher…

Yeah, sad high-five. I saw your comment further up about it leading you to the joys of Mirena though, which is the same for me. I was lucky to have a doctor who was willing to give little ol' childless me one

I would request a blood test if there is a history of clots in your family. There are many different genetic conditions that can predispose people to clotting.

My clot left my leg extremely sore and since it traveled down the vein past my knee I had difficulties bending and unbending my leg. I had sever swelling in my thigh- some days I could not put on my pants. I thought I had a pinched nerve at first, I had no feeling in my foot. Eventually my foot began turning purple…

Ah yes, thank you I did mean to.

I have Factor V and am also a lifelong Coumadin patient. I was put on the pill when I was 18 to help with bleeding issues (I had psycho periods)- it lead to blood clots. I began having issues that were diagnosed as everything from she is faking it to a pinched nerve (not that the doctor could find the nerve that was…

I really, really wish my doctor had performed a blood test. I went on the pill and had issues with clots, come to find out I have Factor V Ledien. A woman with Factor V should never be put on the pill, she is essentially assured a blood clot. I now have damaged veins that will give me issues for the rest of my life,…

Marvel super heroine pajamas are a great gift (if you have an awesome wife!)

I loved this book. It was a quick, but excellent read! I am excited to see it and its author getting some recognition!

It is a process that involves ace bandages and help from a friend or two.

Libraries exist for access to information, art, and materials. Librarians are not there to judge or make moral calls for their patrons. I agree with huonoperso, the library is a public place. It is paid for through taxes and tax payers should have access to whatever material they may want.

I work in in a library at a public university. Here is our policy on how to handle situations where people are viewing porn.

I honestly believe she is over the whole thing and is biding her time until her contract is over. She has been doing this her whole life- I don't know if this is what she would have picked for herself. In an interview the other day she was asked when she realized she was a creative person. Her reply was when her…

I am a cat lady. I love cats. But if Hobbes beats out Tuxedo I will find myself voting on the side of dogs!

I’ve had a Mirena since December. I received it for three reasons: birth control, crazy period control, and low dosage of hormones. I’m married and don’t want kids but needed something better than just a condom and since I’m a Coumadin patient I can only have minimal hormonal treatment. I also had the most miserable…

I know my doctor gave me a cervical softener because I have never had a child before. So for that one point that could be a reason. She told me insertion is much easier on a woman who has already had a child.

My doctor immediately did the same. I also have not had a baby. I have a Mirena for both birth control and bleeding reasons. I assumed it was standard when she did the sonogram.

I really want to give your owner/president a high five and an enthusiastic "Hell Yeah!" He seems like an awesome person and I envy you for getting to work at a company with a head like that.

I have to agree with you. I actually had a conversation with an older man one day (I would guess in his 70s) about how social media and the internet in general has ruined the world and made our generation dumb. His big argument about how our generation is flawed was that I didn’t know the exact dates of different…
