it's actually not heavy at all
it's really really really light so like i said it's more of an annoyance than anything else

i think if it was really that concerning, my doctor would have been more worried instead of just brushing it off like it was no big deal

everyone's body reacts differently to birth control...honestly i'd hold out a little longer and see if it helps, but unfortunately constant light bleeding is a pretty common effect of any bc that makes you stop your periods completely. i personally couldn't handle both the bleeding (ew ew ew) nor the lack of a period as i need to see i'm not pregnant every month or i start getting super paranoid >>

Also, i really hear the implant isn't that bad! i've thought about getting it myself since i am not really the best at keeping up with my pills...i take them every day but not always at the same time whoops haha. when i get married i would like something a bit more reliable but considering it's like 6 weeks til the wedding i doubt i'll get a gyno appt in time haha + the one i went to last time i loved the dr but the office staff was horrendous; super rude and they charged our insurance for shit that we didn't eve have done ugh

i know i'm not a woman but my friend was telling me his girlfriend has the little rod thing in her arm and supposedly it's painless and easier

[DarkSurfer]

I forget the names of those but ive heard they work really good.

Oh, I have that actually - two years with it in so far. Called Implanon, I think. Lasts for ~3 years before needing replaced. For me there were no periods for the first year or so, then a brief bout of spotting that the doc fixed by putting me on a month of the pill, and roughly monthly periods since then. Overall pretty good though.

And no, it doesn't hurt getting it put in because they give you anesthetic in your arm, so unless you have someone planning on punching you there for the few days after it you should be fine.

Guess who's sick again.
<- this asshole

Guess who also got her period on the same day.
<- this asshole again

I hate this so much.

However, I do remember last year that I didn't get it for like 4 months. I got really paranoid. I mean, I knew I wasn't pregnant (never had sex), but I knew that not getting your period for so long is really bad for you. I think it was due to college stress.

[shazza]

the actual act of not having a period isn't really that bad for you, it's really just...why you aren't having it that is bad. like stress, anorexia, etc.



also i just remembered, lyra, depo shots are NOT meant to be used for more than 3 years, just fyi. they originally were given long-term but recent studies have shown that they REALLY fuck up your body if you use them for longer than 3 years. one girl i know was on it for like 6 or 7 and her body started freaking out and she was in serious pain/bleeding a lot etc and it took years for it all to go back to normal :[

just thought you should know. it's wonderful for those 3 years but after that you should go on something else.

implanon however is perfectly safe (i mean as safe as hormonal birth control can be,) for long-term use :]

[Tetrunes]

Blood oranges are low in potassium.

Fruit gods remain unapeased.

I met a man with a hole in his throat today

I have been in a constant state of NGYEEEEEEARGAHGgguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurgngl since

[TheStranger]

You mean like those holes you get from treating throat cancer?

[Mr. Mander]

very yes, except he'd taken it to another level by having the flesh around his hole actively caving in and scarring into lumpy folds

I repeat: NGYEEEEEEARGAHGgguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurgngl

[TheStranger]

EWWWWW

[shazza]

one of my neighbours/my best friends' grandma had one of those :D except luckily i never got to see the hole itself because she had a voicebox in it with a button she had to press every time she wanted to talk and she sounded like microsoft sam

it was incredibly unnerving; i hated going over to their house x:

[Game Angel]

I really need to bring wipes with me when I travel, seriously
tp just makes my butt chafe and it is the MOST UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING.

also, that and texas' dry, dusty air is making me cough and irritating my sinuses and my chest/lungs hurt

I am not a pop flyin' Angie. Thank god I'm going back home to Pennsylvania tomorrow.
