Two questions:
1. Do you all rinse raw chicken before you cook it? Why or why not?
2. If you could choose between being 10 lbs thinner with a 28 day menstrual cycle vs. 10 lbs heavier and a 21 day cycle, which would you choose?
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd like to try life with the 28 day cycle please. The question is how much hassle would I put up with for it.

It's never a good idea to read the comments, Dana. Although I am a big fan of reading the letters to the LAT. Today I was rewarded by reading a touching letter that happened to be written by one of my former students.

I'm confused, unless you are really too skinny, why would you choose the second option?

Why would I want a 21 day cycle? I am confused. I used to be 10 lbs thinner and have a 28 day cycle. I was happy. Now I am 10 lbs heavier and have a period once every 3 months, for about a day or so. I am even happier, even with the 10 extra pounds.

Wait, why on EARTH would I go for heavier AND shorter cycle?? What's in that for me?

I probably shouldn't lose the 10 pounds.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I don't have periods with the Mirena at all which I LOVE. I don't know if the 10lbs I've picked up are because of my ADs or just my shitty diet. I have no idea what I'm going to do when the Mirena expires and I have to go back to having periods.
