Man... I Feel Like A Woman...

[willowsong]

Once a month... I would really prefer to be a man... for about 4 days. That would be super. I think this IUD I got is making me more crampy too. I've found a few reasons not to like it. Not sure I'm keeping it. Might have to consider another option. And Aunt Flo is early this month to boot. Lovely.

Yeah, I ran screaming from the IUD. Cramps and funky mens cycles were partly to blame

Oddly enough... I've got cramps, the headachey feeling, and the PMS but I've only been spotting... I'm wondering what it's doing to my insides *frown*... sorry if that's TMI lol

have you considered depo preveria? No aunt flo for most of us.....

I had thought about depo but was a little wary of some warnings I'd had from others... and about how healthy it is/isn't... to not bleed? Got any insight for me?

I have one friend who's been on depo for about 6 years now. No problems.
I have another friend who went on depo when she stopped nursing her daughter. She gained weight with each shot, and then didn't quite lose all of it before her next shot (but wasn't really active, and smoked).

I've not had any weight gain. I do tend to get a few headachs around the time I'm due for the next shot. I've got the booklet that comes with the actual drug and can post it to you if you want to read it. Just send me your addy.

I'd love to see the warnings and such... zoe(at)bornpagan.com... if it's not too much of a pain for you lol... :) I really appreciate your input.

*tear!*

I get REAL cranky the week before and my mom's taking me in to the gyno and they may put me on the birth control pill to keep my emotions in check! Gr...!
