It wasn’t actually as bad as I expected. I didn’t have any pain or cramps or anything, and I used a grand total of one regular tampon a day, so it was manageable but just realllll inconvenient. But still. Do not want a repeat.

Uh, aren’t your wrists going to get cold?

Thank you! I keep finding stupid ways to work it into conversations because it’s pretty much the only thing I’m able to think about at this point.
And I’M happy for YOU that your Mirena is working well and your periods went bye bye. Not having to think about the pill (or about periods eventually, fingers crossed) is…

Yeah, I’m committed to sticking it out, it was a Herculean task to get it put in. Plus, my hubby is coming home from Iraq IN NINE FUCKING DAYS YOU GUYS and the bleeding stopped Tuesday, so that’s all I care about lol.

You sound like a really great mom. Good job gurl.

Well ... yeah, there’s risks associated with taking hormonal birth control, but, um, there’s risks associated with NOT taking them too? Like, pregnancy, excruciating periods, endometriosis etc.
When you go to the doctor cause you’ve got a bad case of pneumonia, do you ask them not to give you antibiotics because it…

I just got my Mirena last month and I’m coming off a 17 DAY PERIOD which, when I called my gyno to ask about it, appears to be a normal reaction and that later periods should just sort of trickle off eventually. BRING IT ON. I never want to have to throw away a pair of undies because of a surprise period again.

Lol yeah there’s been a lot of opposition to it in the states too from cab drivers BUT it’s a godsend in a city like Raleigh NC which doesn’t really have a cab culture and FINDING a cab company’s number and calling them is a pain in the ass.

Oh, I think my dad is hilarious but in a dad way, and I definitely got my sense of humor from him. Me and dad will send my mum into absolute fits of eye-rolling and groaning when we get going.
Also, my husband has repeatedly chased me around the house with a wooden spoon or whatever because I’ve made some insufferably…

God, my parents LOVE The McLaughlin Group. My dad would be having a perfectly normal conversation and then stop, cross his legs and turn slightly sideways and just yell QUESTION! and ask you a question. He too thinks he’s hilarious.

QUESTION

This is a fucking gross comment bro.

That’s basically how Uber works, except it’s regular people driving the cars and not taxi drivers, but the apps function in almost exactly the same way.

Well that’s cool for you dude, but Uber is the safest option for people who happen to not look very intimidating and be small and female. With Uber, I can send my friend a copy of my route and they’ll get a message if I deviate from that route. You can track the route on your phone so you know if they’re taking you…

No, I love YOUR username.
And yeah, it’s crazy how unhealthy relationships can train you to expect some really fucked up shit! Men suck, as an overall rule. BUT yes, we may be the same person, because it took me a solid two months at least to not second and third guess the hub’s motives and like ... wonder if him…

Omg yes with a nice pair of quirky socks and a fauxhawk. Fifteen year old me is swooning right now.

Kinja is being Kinja and I can’t edit but she doesn’t look like a q-tip she looks like a cannoli and that’s even worse.

Ok, I talked a lot of smack until now, but I NEED THESE SHOES. And maybe their glittery brother down there.

I def had these jeans in, maybe...1995 but the eyelets were on the front not the sides. Lil baby Ms. Stabler was so on trend!
