Okay so I may (MAY) have struggled for a third “P” there and come up with a lame-o sex reference. Possibly. The world may never know.
ANYWAYS, as you all saw from my previous post- it is that time. Oh that time that all of us women must enjoy every month. (well, I enjoy it’s onset and do a little celebratory dance and then whine and moan as it takes it’s sweet time departing).
That being said—THIS month there are some changes and I need some help. Gentlemen, feel free to skip this entry.
I am starting “the pill”.
After years of sexual activity (sorry mom, I know you read this— I just hope not on a daily basis) I have finally made the decision to start taking some oral contraceptives.
I’m nervous. Beyond nervous. I’m dramatic and crazy and over-imaginative and don’t know what the hell this is going to do to my body.
I don’t know when the best time to take the pill is. I don’t know if it will make me sick. I HOPE it’ll help lengthen my cycle and make me much less “please hold me I want to be held get the fuck away from me hey go hug the rabid bear in the living room”.
You know. Because that’s how I am.
My cycle changed a lot in this last year. I went from an average cycle of every 31 days down to every 24. I went from headaches to being completely incapacitated with migraines. I may bleed less now, but my cramping is worse.
More factors went into these changes than just weight loss, of course— but it was effecting my quality of life.
Plus, I got a boyfriend. And while NOT having one didn’t necessarily mean I wasn’t sexually active, I certainly am now— and a little back up can’t possibly hurt.
Am I rambling? I’m rambling.
I just need a little reassurance that this will be okay. You know, not make me sprout any extra limbs or anything. And maybe some advice on what to expect and all that.
I know this isn’t weight-loss related, but it is health related, right? So it counts.
Because, who better to go to with super personal issues than the Internet at large?
