*hopes this isn't a HIPPA violation*
One of her patients is on the depo shot. She came in because she thought she was constipated and "could feel her bowels moving." Nope, not constipated—she's 30 weeks pregnant! Talk about 'I didn't know I was pregnant' in real life! The kicker? She has a 6 year old, so she knows what being pregnant feels like, and still had no idea!!
RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.
Yup I had my iud removed because it expired was waiting a cycle to have my nes one put in. We used a condom every time and sure enough we conceived on the 4th of July!
My H is a little paranoid and checks his condom every single time (fills it with water before throwing out). I think we had a leak one time very early on in our relationship. Never again.
However, after mia my periods were still regulating in april do i had one at the begining of the month and then started another one on the 29th of april so it wouldn't let me enter the second.
So i downloaded "my period diaries" or something like that. The app square has a pic of a journal with a flower bookmark type thing. Anyway, it let ne put both in.
I have both still on my phone. I'm going to wait a few cycles to see which one gets most accurate on cycle lengths. (And i may email the makers of the first to see if there is anyway to input the second april period because i love that app.)
I thought I wasn't going to get M the frog chair because he prob won't need it for long. But I gave in and it is great. He's in it right now in our bedroom while we get ready for the day. He doesn't like it for a long time, but long enough for us to get stuff done and have him close by but not laying down.
We also used condoms exclusively for years. I still don't know what I want to do for BC now. Still considering Mirena. Have a mini pill script I haven't filled. Since I have no desire to even see myself naked, it seems like it will still be a little while before I need to figure that out.
I haven't watched PLL either, but hear great things here and IRL. Not sure I'll ever have time for binge watching like that ever again.
I found a picture of my daughter at his age and she is sitting up in a grocery cart. Makes me realize how different he is!

All the condom posts are making me feel super smug about my copper IUD right now. SMUG.
I use Menstral calendar premium. WELL worth the $.99! I like the feature where you can have an overview of all your past cycles and see that last March you had a 28 day cycle, but then in April it was 32 days, then a 30 day cycle etc. it also guesses your ferrule days, and predicts the day it thinks you'll actually start your period.
So it's probably a really bad thing that I found out there is a drive through Dunkin Donuts on the way to work from day care drop off. Mmm...cream and sugar.
This has been my first full week back at work and I've hardly been able to get on here at all :-( Work is going well overall, crazy busy as I feared but I still love my job and am glad to be back. What's not going well is pumping for daycare - Jake is eating 5oz at a time 4-5xs while there so 20-25oz a day just while there.....I just can't keep up. I pumped 16oz/day at work the first two weeks back to work when I was transitioning in and only here 2 or 3 days/week, plus 4-5oz overnight. This week though it's gone down by an ounce or more each day and my freezer stash is quickly dwindling. He will be 3mths on Sunday and our initial goal was to EBF to 3mths, so we made that. I just really wanted to go for longer :-( I'm really sad and stressed about it but there's not much I can do.... baby's hungry
-Hormone free! I didn't like the way I felt on the pill and figure most hormonal options would do that to me.
-Nothing to do when we get it on except have fun! No matter how hard we tried to "make it part of the foreplay" condoms and the diaphragm always broke the mood for us.
-Nothing to remember to do or take! I can't forget a day/week/month/injection/whatever. I just check the strings every so often and I'm good.
-I still get my period! I know this is a UO, but I find the monthly reminder that my body is functioning correctly to be very reassuring. I also kind of like the rhythm it gives my life, like tides or something.
-Instant return of fertility! Having it out is a super quick&easy office visit and fertility returns immediately. I had mine removed on CD#3 and conceived on CD#16.
Seriously I think of my copper IUD as this amazing magical device that keeps me from having babies but doesn't change the rest of my life in the slightest. I pretty much don't know that it's there, except for the not getting pregnant thing.
I had really heavy crampy periods to begin with and I did notice that they became heavier and crampier, but only because I was looking for it. It was well within the range of what my periods are normally like, just on the heavier end of it. It was NBD for me.
Edit: gif fail
Damn- it was a nice darth vader one, too
