I thought I’d be clever and start a new pack of bc pills on Sunday even though I finished the last pack on Saturday. Why have a period this month? I didn’t feel like dealing with it (when do I ever??? lol).
I’ll never fucking do that again.
I have been so damn emotional this week. Like, driving to work this morning, I got all teary fucking listening to “Send Her My Love” by Journey. WTF? I got teary watching “American Idol” tonight (I’ll vote for Taylor, if I can get through) and I got teary watching an episode of “Frontline” on PBS about sex trafficking in Eastern Europe. And I’m scowling! Oh my God. I was out tonight and I realized that — despite the sunshine, despite the 70 degree temperature — I was fucking scowling. What the hell????
And I didn’t even have a good reason to fuck with my cycle. It’s not like I’m planning to mark Memorial Day with an orgy. I’m not even anticipating any action. About all I’ll be lucky to score will be some food at a cookout or two. Sigh.

You might want to look into Implanon. It lasts for 3 years, in 1/3 of cases periods stop for that time, in 1/3 of cases they stay the same and the other 1/3 have irregular bleeding that can usually be regulated after a few months.

Yeah, I hate my period too…
uhhh… wait a sec…
I’m a guy. Sorry…
Stopping in from BE’s BOTB’s and had to say something about this site.
Very entertaining and as a man, it’s an eye-opener to see inside a woman’s mind.
Very good job.

Because of the family history and now the whole ugly boob thing, I’ve never been able to go on the pill, my periods are here to stay for at least another 20 years…talk about rotten luck!
And as for ringing in Memorial Day a little early…you know what they say about best laid plans.
I shaved past the knee and all I got was an Avatar…go figure…lol.

yep, used the pill to chase away aunt flo a time or too. can’t say i’ve ever noticed any weird hormonal reactions, maybe cause it just blended in with my everyday weirdness???! ummmm, maybe.

Ido that all the time, but haven’t had those side-effects. That sucks! But maybe I don’t notice because I’m a natural crier anyway. A good baby commercial will makemy eyes wet…
