Andi, lots of ~ma to your mother. I am sure it was difficult for her to make that decision, and it sounds like she made the right now.
vw, you're an amazing person who deserves only good things in life, and that is why you have so many wonderful friends.
vw, I'm back, should be here for a couple hours. What's up?
Are you on the NuvaRing? I think I remember you saying you are, but I forget.
yes I am, and I love it to bits. LOVE.
Ok...whitefonted question:
I'm supposed to go on it after my peroid ends (I have it right now). I've had a yeast infection too, but that should be clearing up around the same time. I should be ok to start it, right? Or should I call the doctor to make sure?
Andi, I meant to comment before, what a huge thing for your mom. I'm sure there are rocky waters ahead, but good on her for something that must have been incredibly difficult.
Much happier-new-life~ma to your mother, WindSparrow.
Thanks! I'm hoping she'll be happy without having a man. Unfortunately I felt at the time she took up with this guy that to a certain extent she was wanting a man, any man, because of the deep-seated, illogical, toxic shame of not having one. I hope either she will learn the lesson of being complete in herself before entering into a new relationship, or she simply will not find an unhealthy relationship to stumble into.
You should be fine to start it.
I'm often still bleeding a bit when I insert. The application of hormones in the Ring stops that right quick though. If the yeast infection yuckiness continues, I'd ask the doctor just to be safe,
but I think you'd be OK.
I never ever notice it once the take out/put in week is done. Short periods. Awesome.
Nice. That's what I'm hoping for. My periods are currently seven days. We're gonna try to get that down to three. I'm like, "You can do that?" She's like, "You know what else we can do? We can make it so you only get your periods four times a year!" I was like, "NO WAY!" She's like, "Baby steps."
We're gonna try to get that down to three.
it can happen. Give it a couple months so your body gets with the program, but I remember after a while, being like NO WAY! Start on Wed/Thurs, end on Sat? AWESOME.
Well, I've got it in the fridge so I can start (I didn't realize it needed to be refrigerated. That was weird. I stuck it way in the back so Not!Emily doesn't find it).
