Thank you, Dean

A lot happened over this past weekend. As I mentioned earlier I had my belly dance recital on Saturday evening. I'm happy to report that it went wonderfully! All of the dancers were amazing and we had so much fun! I'm slowly collecting pictures, so I should have many to share with you soon. Someone was also able to video tape the performances, so

I love my Mirena IUD! It's been fabulous.

Cool! Yeah, I really should look into that more. It seems like the best deal. :)

TOTALLY ask about generics. The name-brands are great for recognizability, but there's really no need for it. I use norgestrel/lo-ovral/Chryselle (depending on which pharmacy fills it) and my copay is $10 a pack.

It might take a while for your hormones to react to the pill; I was okay the first couple weeks, and then got all angry for two months. :D When I was having a really hard time at work last month it was because I'd just gone back on the pill after being off for a couple weeks, and I think the fluctuations are to blame for just how OMG ;______; I was. If you're prepared for it and recognize that the behaviours/emotions are pill-related, it's not so bad! (As a bonus, starting the pill knocked me off my weight loss plateau when I was dieting.)

Holy crap, 10 dollars sounds MUCH better than 71. This may be a stupid question, but should I talk to my doctor or the pharmacy about switching to a generic brand?

I need to remember to be aware that if I start acting crazy, it's the pills talking. Must remember that.

Definitely your doctor, as you'll probably have to get a new prescription. Try just over the phone first, though; my guess is that you won't need to go in for another appointment depending on the office.

CRAZY PILLS OMG. :D

Okay, thanks! :)

HAHA! They totally are crazy pills. :D
