Hi newbie here. I got my fist period on monday and I am half exited and half nervous of how this will go from now on but it is pretty good so far, I had some pretty bad cramps but I a okay. I want to buy lunapads but I don't know how I would ask my mom (I am in grade 7). We don't talk that much. umm that is all.

First time posting, anyway.
Anyone have any tricks for remembering to take meds? I'm on the "minipill" but I keep forgetting to take it. I'll remember it, hours later. And the minipill is so sensitive you're not supposed to take it more than an hour's difference each day. I've tried different times during the day and nothing seems to work.

I'd thought about getting the depo shot, but that just scares me; I haven't heard a single good thing about it.

And here's the thing; I'm late. Not *that* late, and I've never been regular. My husband and I want to wait to have another child. I keep feeling like I'm PMS'ing, but I know that I also felt that way when I was newly pregnant last time.

Hi. I just found this community and am so happy I stumbled across it.

Just wondering how many of you out there use sea sponges? I've been using them for almost a year now and am so in love with them. But anyone who knows I use them gets positively disgusted. Just wanting to know what you're thoughts on them are...

yet another question about sponges... :)
(i didn't see a memories section on sponges, i'm sorry)

i've been using my keeper for a little over a year now, and absolutely love it... but when it comes to having sex on my period i usually use insteads (when it's too incovenient to go without anything, i mean.)
anyways, insteads can get expensive, and i still don't rather like the idea of disposable products. and i read in a previous post that you can use sponges during sex...

firstly, how are they with that? does it still get messy? are they uncomfortable (i guess mostly for the male) or can he hardly feel them? i'm debating trying those - i wouldn't mind that so much if they work well.

and secondly, can i get sea sponges at a drug store, or do i have to get them at a health store? (i'm in canada, by the way. i was thinking shoppers drug mart or something along those lines.) are they the same as the natural cosmetic ones they sell for makeup and stuff? (i'm asking because i don't have a credit card or a car, so it's hard for me to go searching all over town...)

anyways, thank you so so much. even the possibility excites me :)
