Yea yea, I know you've all heard it before but....

I can't help it, I have to talk about my first experience with my Diva cup. I hadn't attempted a 'dry run' with it, because I had heard it was easier once you started, cause it's wet. Okay, so last night, I first tried it. Getting it in wasn't that hard, but the turning thing? Okay, who decided to make us attempt to rotate this thing? Let me just say that having my boyfriend walk in the bathroom while I am in this lovely awkward position, attempting to rotate this thing is not the best experience. I couldn't get it to open up at all. And when it finally did, it felt all kinds of uncomfortable, and moved WAY too far up inside. So, I tried it again, and had no leakage, and no uncomfortableness. Yay. I slept fine with it, and everything. But, let me just inform ya'll that having to get up very first thing in the morning, take this thing out, and try to relearn how to insert it right, is torture to me! Bad start for this morning. And, then, I thought I had it in all good and whatever, got in the car, and instantly I'm feeling all kinds of suction pain. Hello! What's up with that!? So, got to work, twiddled around a bit, I think I have to go back and get better suction with it. So, yea. But I just can't wait till I get used to it, and it's second nature. I feel like a 13 year old, learning to put tampons in. Although, if I was 13, and I had to learn how do use this cup, I would not be the most excited girl around.

period will start a week from today.
i've already been having mood swings, which i don't get every month, but when i do they're pretty bad. the smallest things will make me cry.
and i'm spotting now.
and i was fighting a migraine this weekend, but it doesn't feel completely gone yet.
i have a feeling the next 2 weeks are going to be bad.
oh, not to mention this cycle has decided to give me a bad acne breakout.
at least i don't have the tender breasts yet. they'll come, but i hae a day or two at least to prepare.
i hate pms.

i question i don't feel like going to amipregnant to ask

Hello. I have a very skippy menstrual cycle, as in once it skipped for two years. I was on Estrostep FE to regulate, but it made me bleed very, very heavily and I decided to stop taking it and have my doctor give me a new bc to try. I have an appointment on the 26th to ask her about that.

Now, I recently had unprotected sex (yes, i am not smart. I was caught up in the moment, and I accept responsibility if I have conceived. so does he.) and I wanted to know, with a naturally skipping cycle, how will I know if I am or not? How soon does it show on a pee-stick test? Can I get a false positive if I have quirky hormones? Should I just ask the doctor?

I am sorry that this is slightly OT, but as my heading says, I wanted to ask it here. Y'all helped me out before, too, when I had a question.

removing methods

is there an effective way of getting rid of pubic hair?
although i've never waxed my arms or legs before, having armpit and pubic hair makes me a bit uncomfortable. i've only shaved in my life.

especially when i'm menstruating, my hair tends to get bloody, wet and hard to wash. before, in the past, i would get queasy at the sight of bloody hair, and tried to clean myself as much as i can. when shaving it, it's easy to shave off the hair near to my tummy, but most of the hair grows underneath, where i often don't like the razorblade to cut against. i've cut myself several times in the past, and a cut down there sounds very painful.

can you wax, if possible?

It may be too late to be asking this, but... I'm taking ortho-tricyclen for my skin and started my placebo week Sunday. My period hasn't started yet, as is usually the case, but I've realized I really might want to try to skip it so it won't be around this weekend.

Is it too late to start up on non-placebos to try to skip it? I'm afraid of screwing up my body more than anything else.


Thank you for any input.
