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.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

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?
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?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

Do I just keep my normal cycle if I keep my normal weight? Because I like these clothes, and can live with the cycle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In TMI news, I haven't had another period yet since the one when I went off hormonal birth control in early April. It's killing me because I feel like it could show up at any moment!

Jesse, it will show up on the day you decide to wear your nicest pair of panties, with white pants and sit down on a white sofa while you're out with a hot guy.
