TMI post
fuck it, it’s been on my mind awhile so why not spill. remember the days when i said way too much it’s like all of a sudden i feel accountable, adult maybe, humiliated for every stupid thing i have ever said. feh. anyway, try getting your period like 2 times in a MONTH. maybe 3 times even. wrap your head around that number. basically, my iud is overdue to be taken out and a new one be popped right back in so my body is like releasing all its party sauce. an iud has a hormone in it and yeah, the one i have can stay in you for 2.5-3 years so we’re cruisin’ a teeny bit beyond the 3 year mark, that hormone has run out so my natural hormonal body chemistry whatever the funk is confused. plus side, period with no period zits or painful period tits. down side, period, more than once within a month. yeah yeah TMI big time i know, SORRY for sharing. the downside of the no zits thing is those guys are a head’s up, guess what’s just around the corner aw yeah that’s right insert stupid womyn jokey pms term here. i have never been on the pill but i’ve heard all sorts of insane shit happens when you go off it, like loony tunesque fun. so i’ve been on the phone with multiple clinics and they’s all swamped. the same technicians who implant these rockin’ devices are the same ones essentially who give abortions so you can imagine, they’re pretty fuckin’ busy. the only clinic where i was actually able to speak to a person said they have one woman who does this thing and she only comes in once a week. WHAT? anyway, this is the worst possible timing as i am busy with three different things goin’ on work-wise. so if you see me around a nice little what’s up sensitive high five would be cool.
word to the wise DO NOT google image search iud photos you will likely come across something you can never ever erase from your brain. like pictures of car crash victims. just don’t do it.
writing this post was mostly to force myself to get into action on the phone about it rather than purely shock jock material.
I’ve been on the pill for 10 years, I love it. Went off it recently and now I have zits like I did in high school, SO not cute. Anyway, I think TMI posts are great! Keep em up!
shit, Raymi, that sucks. I hope you find someone to fix the problem sooner rather than later.
me too!
Depending on what pill someone is on, the effects can be very different. I was on a pill called Demulen (for 3 years) and had very few problems coming off of it. But I tried some other types before I was on Demulen and found that they didn’t jive with me as well as hoped. It often takes some time to find one that is the right “fit”.
I like TMI posts too. How are dudes supposed to empathize with this stuff if girls never talk about it? Thanks (sorta).
aside from the shitty situation you’re in, this post was hilarious!
when i went off the pill i didnt get my period for a year and gained 20 pounds. basically my body was fake pregnant for a year. What you should do is actually walk over to that place at bay and college in person and ask them to make an appointment for your IUD thing, if you’re right there they won’t blow you off. yeah?
I’ve been on 6 different pills (gone off of 5 soon to be the 6th) and I haven’t had any problems going off of them, just going on them whacks me out a bit
Hello.
Hey why not get it taken out and get a new one that is good for 7 or 10 years? I’m not sure the brand of my IUD but the sucker has no hormones and is good for a total of 10 years, I have 7.5 left.
After being an a various assortment of pills over the years I decided I was done… I have a history of depression and anxiety and all the extra hormones in BC pills made me nuts and moody. For a while I was on a decent one, then my insurance company decided the real drug should be really expensive ($60 per month) and the generic should be dirt cheap($3 per month)… except the dirt cheap one had weird side effects.
I look forward to seeing/hearing what you have in the works! You seriously scored the best job(s). I wish I had your artistic talent and entrepreneurship. Also, what about establishing one of those email lists people sign up with to be notified about when your next show is etc?
GAAAHHHH – i know the feeling as i get mine (although once a month still) for almost 1.5 WEEKS! and then i’m bloated the rest of the month – and only normal for 3 days. GAAAH – i hope you’ll get shit worked out! =)
i’m thinking of going on an iud break for a bit to give my body a breather. i’m at the point of beyond frustration right now and it’s the long weekend so there’s nothing can be done til tuesday.
xenia email me please.
oh and dunno how why i forgot to mention that the most annoying thing of all is constant pain/cramping and bloat. fun!
Agh! Jackie – they released a generic version of my pill too, my doctor hadn’t heard about it, but my pharm. basically forced me to take it saying it’s the same thing… well – after 3 months I was TOTALLY messed up – back on my normal pill now for 6, but not back to normal.
Maybe an IUD is the way to go…
i think it’s fully the way to go if you change them on time. all i know for now is my hormones are totally out of whack and it is really shitty.
SO, about a year ago i had the period with no end. i’d had it for like three months or something stupid like that. it was accompanied by the migraine with no end. my dr put me on progesterone pills that when i stopped taking eevery 3 wks would induce a bloody blood-letting and all was grand. then it stopped working. eventually i stopped taking those pills as they were no period a-making. i haven’t had one since – a period i mean. nothing. for over 4 months now. sounds good right? no. no, it absolutely is not good. it has had me up and down and all around and now i’m just convinced i must have uterine cancer or fibroids. oh the joys of womanhood.
Hey Raymi, wouldn’t recommend the pill, mainly because it changes your taste in men. So if you like Phil now — mainly the smell, after the pill you might not like him that much. Also, don’t use IUD’s since it’s a foreign object for your body and it starts ‘fighting’ it… thus the bloat and cramps.
I’ll give you in some TMI, since I kinda empathize… with my previous girlfriends I always told them not to use anything… I used condoms and kept a huge stash of them at their place — where the magic usually happened. I only had one scare but it was by an ex that though I had cheated on her and after talking to her it turned out that she “wasn’t” pregnant after all… so, there you go. TMI. Tell Phil I say ‘hi’ and also tell him “no glove, no love”.
Anyhow, hope you get your hormones in control. Hugs from Mexico.
I “accidentally” got off the pill a few years ago. i was lazy getting my refill and two weeks later i realized how great i felt, not all depressed and cuckoo, and i had lost 5 pounds… i figured it had to be not taking my bc. sure enough i ended up losing like 30 pounds. i know it sux to use condoms with a steady bf, but not as much as the pill. that’s my two cents.
haha but i’m having a mild prego scare right now at work now that i just looked at the calendaroo sooo.. yeah i guess its all preference.
i have so much rageahol right now and zero patience i feel like i could kill someone with my bare hands, yeah so, i pretty much need this guy out of me asap and a new one in stat. plus i have put on 5 lbs over fucking nite so that’s really helping matters. what xenia described up there basically is what’s happening right now with me.
