I'm considering doing the San Francisco AIDS Half Marathon to both get in shape and do something good. Has anyone else done one of these? Would I survive?
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If I wandered out of her sight I would immediately hear, "Get back where I can see you".
I grew up in a simpler time. After I was about 6, the rule was within the sound of my mother's voice. If she called me and I didn't come, I was in big trouble.
In conclusion, everyone should come to Salem to see the China house, and then have beers with me.
Okay.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Female reproductive question, which I'm not going to whitefont because, really, we're all adults, damn it.
Women: how would you define "severe" cramps? Tuesday, on my way home from work, I started getting cramps that were making me gasp (and, occasionally, yelp in pain). When I got home, I took 4 ibuprofen and lay down, and it took over an hour for the cramps to subside.
Important to note: on Tuesday, I was still 10-11 days away from getting my period, so they weren't menstrual cramps, and mid-cycle cramps aren't typical for me.
Do those sound "severe"? Or just "strong"?
And if you combine that with the fact that my lower abdomen is tender and sore when I press on it -- should I call my OB/GYN? It's been 6 weeks since I had my IUD inserted, and I know that intermittent cramping can be normal for up to the first few *months.*
It's probably just normal, right?

Gasping and yelping in pain sounds severe to me.

Maybe I shouldn't have posted. Sorry.
Oh sweetie, I was teaching and just popped back online. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.
Tep, those cramps sound severe to me.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Steph, after I got mine, it was like that for the first couple of months. Is your OB doing the 6 week check soon? Are you having one?

Because books.
But didn't the initial cramping subside, Tep? I'm not sure why it would come back out of nowhere, related to the IUD.
I have to say, if your lower abdomen is tender and sore, you should call your OB/GYN.
ETA: I only ever get a couple of strong cramps before onset, strong enough to make me double over (briefly). If these went on for a while, and aren't usual for you, you should call. And I still think the tenderness is troubling.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Tep, that sounds like severe cramps to me. I think you should call your doctor just to be on the safe side.

Did you have abdominal tenderness/soreness? Or, um, painful sex and/or non-menstrual bleeding during/after sex? (Yeah, I wussed out and whitefonted.)
Is your OB doing the 6 week check soon? Are you having one?
She didn't tell me to schedule one, but I think I might need one.
