Soo this is the period from hell Since I started birth control - Nuvaring - my periods have been almost entirely pain-free, less bloody, and shorter. This is day 2 and my cramps are still pretty painful. If I have them at all they are only the first day, usually... and the amount of blood is equal to pre-BC levels, which is weird and annoying. Also I just took a four-hour nap; must munch more iron... grr. I hate being seized by the demon of womanhood when it decides to be a little terror.

Hmm. My only TMI is that I shower a little less during the summer. Maybe like every 1.5 days. It'll be like 2 am, and it's just like "F**k it, I'm tired, I'll shower in the morning." ..And then I sleep in until 2. Have to eat, check the internets, etc. ..Then it's magically 8, and it's like "Oh, I smell a bit sweaty. Okay, shower."

Though, I took the most amazing bath ever yesterday. I took two glowsticks with me (to recreate one of those awesome light-up baths), and had the tub full of water, while the showerhead was still running. It felt like I was swimming in a colorful waterfall. Completely relaxing.

Izzy, you are a goddamn bath genius. I have to recreate that.

I have no more TMI. Perhaps later I will do some gross things.

It works considerably better when the lights are off and when it's really late at night after all others have long since passed out...

Oh, forgot. BUBBLES AND YOGA. And if your glowsticks are still on shoelaces/twine (I was poi-ing earlier), it's even cooler. Lights out goes without saying, right? Yeah. I <3 baths/showers/water-related-things/water.

Edit: Speaker, yeah, this was at like 2 am, and I usually shower with the lights out anyway. More relaxing/easier to think/takes more general motor ability and memorization.

Try utter darkness... It can be surreal

Yeah. I've been doing that *at least* once a week since I was about eight. Sometimes with some drum and bass, sometimes without.

Swimming under the stars in the middle of the night can be pretty majestic too. Though, I'm incredibly arachnophobic, so I'll usually have to turn the pool light on out of fear.

yes... but by utter darkness I mean that you can't see yourself move... imagine that with a shower head that comes from the ceiling and points straight down giving no sense of direction...

Then if you really want to make things better... do it all outside... under a black sky... (it happens, but only in very particular circumstances)

er... um... TMI: Did above(outside) with a girl once... never knew which girl though... there were two of em... but for the life of me I don't know which one...

I dunno, I can't seem to get into an utterly dark state anymore. My mind will just start imagining swirly and twisty things. It's.. nice, but annoying when I don't want it.

Haha, nice.

Nine wanks in one day should do it.


I like to set the tone of my posts early.

Running, and its associated breathing, makes me generate a little more saliva than I would otherwise like to carry with me, so the occasional spit into the nettles is required as I jog alongside the river. Combine this with the phlegm of hayfever, and the wind heading towards me, and the result is akin to a scene in GhostBusters.

"He sliiiimed me!"

Downside to not wearing underwear is when my uterus explodes it can get kind of messy (both clothing and occasionally around the house). Another downside, is when this happens and I'm not at home, the resulting mess can be a bit more embarrassing.

Man, my day went from "pretty good! Tye-dying and Ultimate Frisbee, alright!" to "Omfg. So much pain. Kill me. *makes teary phone call to mom*" in like ten minutes.

Lol, it's funny, I remember being like 13/14, and my periods being totally fine, and not understanding what all these "wimpy" chicks were complaining about. Now, I pretty much lay on the bathroom floor and cry. Yay. It's pretty much unfair, guys only need to experience pain like this if they don't want children. I sincerely hope there is a god, so when I get up to heaven, I can punch him in the face. So, anyway, I took a Midol, waited a bit, called my mom with an "It's not working. D:" "Honey, you're supposed to take two." "Oh. I can't get up though." "Where are you?" "On your bed.." So, eventually took another. Got really nauseous. Brought in some blankets and a pillow. I was about to down some promethazine when I threw up. Oh man. So, clear liquid (water?), a broken down Midol, and orange bile. My stupid body didn't realize that there isn't going to be anything left in there, so I kept gagging for a while. Then slept in the bathroom. Just got kicked out because my mom doesn't want to go in mine.

..Better now. Ish.

(I accidentally wrote that in present tense the first time. ...At least MLA format is coming naturally.)

I don't think we even have to combat with that sort of pain for the procedure.

The recovery process is probably unpleasant?

...This is a job for Google.


Hahahahahaha. Mild pain combated with OTC drugs, and it's recommended you wear a thong for a week.

Is it a suprise period if you're just kinda waiting around for it to sneak up on you?

I mean, it's a possibility it'll be on time this month (Also, is it bad that I use this thread to keep track of my periods? Maybe?) but really It could be any day from today to three months from now.

Which, taking Murphey's law into consideration - My boyfriend recently moved in with my family and I, and we've been waiting for my dad to leave on a business trip to have sex. He should be leaving tomorrow. .....Tomorrow is technically the day my period is supposed to start.

Damn ittttt.

I dont think it's wrong to use this thread for tracking purposes just damn amusing.

I think it's a moral obligation to let the entire world know when I'm bleeding from my lady-bits. It gives everyone time to move out of the way and take cover.

Hmm....TMI....
well,no period yet.

Oh, and I woke up this morning to a large pile of blood and sh*t on the living room floor. Apparently, my dog is sick. Poor baby. She'll be going to the vet monday...hopefully she doesn't do a bloody poo there, too.

Not really TMI.. I'm just annoyed with the huge painful zit behind my ear. Optional picture.

Ouch! Do you have your ears pierced? That looks more like a pus pocket than a zit. I remember when I first pierced my ears I'd get them all the time.

Yeah, I do. Any advice for getting rid of it?

sterile needle + squeezing

Or if that doesn't work, wait.

*tried* *is a wimp* *waits* =/

I've been tracking my woman's cycle for about a year, come July. When we hit the one year mark, I want to make it more complex. I'm going to bring in a scale to rate flow, cramps, mood, and any other variables I can think of. Then, CHARTS!

Suggestions?

I swam in the sea twice when I was in Shetland. (If you don't know where Shetland is, look it up. Yes, it was a bit cold.)

That's my TMI, but it's only gross if you have done what I have done, and spent the last week looking at all the little things that you can't really see, but wot live in the sea. Like nematodes. *shudder*

Also, I got back about an hour ago and haven't showered yet. Wore my clothes all day Saturday, then on the 14 hour ferry journey home. Yummy.

p.s Voices, period sex ftw.

Vic your a bad man!

Try adding in hunger (I get really hungry before mine) and energy.

We've done it before, but I don't think either of us are in any rush whatsoever to try it again. Very messy.


Vic - Maybe a line graph to map out mood swings? And a chart of weird food cravings. Amount of tampons/pads used?

found out what was smelling up the kitchen. old potatoes with purple things and white mold and omg i gagged and gagged and almost threw up and am trying to put down breakfast. they were dripping dark green fluid

Just got home from a week at Glastonbury. Using a toilet that you can open the door to without gagging from the smell ftw.

Also before just now I hadn't showered since last Monday.

Ditto.

Until yesterday I hadn't taken a tom tit since Wednesday morning. Decided to unleash it all on Bristol Temple Meads station toilets.

Last night I had one of those boogers that just clings on for dear life. After going through 3 tissues I gave up on trying to remove it for a bit. A little later, when I rolled over in bed, the breeze from the ceiling fan started making it move around inside my nose and it felt like a bug was crawling around up there. Finally it got loose enough that I was able to get it out.

problems with having big boobs: BOOB ACNE. so annoying.

Try clearasil after your shower and/or before bed. It helps me with my boobne and my backne that I get when my hair is long and my conditioner clogs my pores.

My boobs hurt sooooooooo badly right now. I wish the blood would just start flowing so the PMS could stop.

Eugh. I had a seven in the morning shift at work today, and about half way through it (as if being up at 7 wasn't bad enough) I get these stabbing pains in my ovaries. It's not that time of the month, either. So I think life just hates me. Or maybe my body somehow knew I was at work and was trying to get me sick to bail me out of there.

Yesterday I found a very obviously grey pubic hair. I'm sure I never put that on my life plan so I would like to return it to the store and get back my normal colour ones in exchange please.

I'm so inexplicably horny right now that I'm almost willing to hop on anything with a penis that is willing.

^ So that's what that tremor was earlier... and here I just thought that Alderaan got blown up again.

TMI: I have this piece of aluminum wire that is stuck just under my skin on my foot. It doesn't hurt, but its really annoying

I urinated out of the window beside my desk.

I had to clean out the women's restroom at work last night. All was going well - the trashcans didn't even have dirty diapers in them from what I could tell. (smell.) But then, Right as I had finished sanitizing the toilet seat (It's a gross job, sure, but I'd rather our customers aren't wallowing in bacteria while trying to poop, thank you.) I looked up at the wall and saw a blood clot about the size of a dime.

Blood.
It wasn't thin, either. It was all chunky and thick and I'm pretty sure it was someone's period blood.

And who had to clean it up?

This kid.

how the HELL do you even get your period blood on the walls of the bathroom stall?

Lost control of their tampon when pulling it out I suppose...

I had something similar once, where someone must have been pooping while sitting because it was sprayed all over the wall and all the other female employees at Target were too chicken to clean it up.

See, that was my original theory. But the problem is that the blood was on the wall BEHIND the toilet. So unless this lady yanked her tampon out with such force that it made a 180 rotation in the air before splattering blood everywhere, I don't think that's possible. I guess it's possible that she was facing the wall for some reason...

but really, If you're taking out your tampon and get blood on the wall of a public area, is it not common sense to clean it up yourself? I mean, would you pull a tampon out with such brute force that it splatters blood on the wall, and then think "Oh well...someone else will clean that."?

the face i made reading all of that was TMI.

Hmmm perhaps she was standing up when she pulled it out then sat down to put a new one in? I dunno. I had one when I was in Arizona last month that was so full when I pulled it out it flung a clot across the stall. I did clean it up though, because I'm just cool like that.

Fingerpainting experiment?

...I'm sorry.

I don't really have very much TMI at the moment, except for the fact that three days of my mother-in-law's cooking has given me horrible gas. It could probably have military applications. I don't know what she does in that kitchen, but in always makes me excessively farty.

I woke up this morning from a very sexy dream in a very sexy mood.

I can help you out with that, sweet cheeks.

Yesterday, I ran out of toilet paper in the house. I had no change, and no money on the only bank card that was at home. I used paper towels until assistance arrived.

It was rough and unpleasant.

I bought some thinning shears the other day, and used them that night. My hair is no shorter - but yet, the amount of hair on the floor was MASSIVE. I weighed it - 5 ounces of hair. Just straight up hair.

Yup, TS will do that, especially if you have thick hair. Be careful with them, though - you can wind up having a pretty wacky cut if you don't use them in the right places.
