all I can think is "lady fingers"
Month three of the IUD.
Month three of still having a period.
I was not expecting this at all. I expected some spotting sure, but today I told my coworker it was like I could part the fucking Red Sea.
My doctor told me not to wear a tampon. Guess what? Wearing them.
I've gone through more pads and tampons in the past three months than in a year being on the pill because I only had four fucking periods a year then. And if there's something I've learned from this it's that there are a few things you DO NOT spare expense on.
I bought some store brand pads a couple months ago but they're the WORST. The motherfucking WORST. So today after physio I ran to the closest place with a pharmacy, bought brand name pads, brand name tampons (the kind with the fancy braided bit, woo!) and two Toblerone bars.
I am a fucking walking cliche.
I just DESPISE having a period. Like, not a minor inconvenience. I mean why can't my doctor just rip out my fucking insides RIGHT NOW and let me be done with it all. My supervisor's sister had to do this thing that's a level down from a hysterectomy, kinda, where they basically boiled her insides in lieu of, and I'm honestly contemplating asking my doctor what my options are.
This is ridiculous. I'm not having children and even if I were to there are other ways I can go about it aside from having my own (not that my doctor has said anything about me reproducing but I know our healthcare system frowns on any kind of procedure like this with a person as young as I am).
Hugs not drugs. Sisters before misters. Cats not kids. Rules to live by, right?
