Wait, why on EARTH would I go for heavier AND shorter cycle?? What's in that for me?
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I probably shouldn't lose the 10 pounds.

OH wait. I had that backwards...
Revise:
If you could choose between being 10 lbs heavier with a 28 day menstrual cycle vs. 10 lbs thinner and a 21 day cycle, which would you choose?

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.

Sure. I was just thinking of it in the what would I do to be thin without having to watch my diet and exercise. (I mean, history has shown I can get thin, and if I'm willing, it just takes giving up everything I like to eat).
But if I could be thin without working at it, what would I give? Like, would I give up a finger? Or, would I be willing to have a 14 day cycle? A 21 day cycle?
Obviously, I'm not willing to do "anything" because I'm not really willing to give up pasta.

But only if you have no tampon or pad.

I used to have clockwork periods, every 28 days.
I haven't had another period yet since the one when I went off hormonal birth control in early April.
That's not so long ago when you consider that your body has to start ovulating first. (TMI font) I tend to get sharp, owie cramps that last a few hours when I ovulate. So... expect a period about 2 weeks after the weird, random cramps.
