I used to have clockwork periods, every 28 days.
I used to be 28.5. It was marvellous.
I think I need to find the hot guy to really make it happen.

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Mmmm, pasta.
One moment I loved in MIchael Pollen's book was when he was arguing that America, collectively, suffers from an eating disorder, and his proof was that we had come to demonize bread and pasta, two foods that never did anything to harm anyone.

The only time I had 28 day cycles was when I was on the pill. A short cycle for me was 35 days. Mirena = no real cycle to speak of, of course.

Except for the people who have a tendency towards diabetes. (Admittedly, I hated Michael Pollen's most recent books, though I loved Botany of Desire).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I had no periods at ALL on BC pills, but I did gain about 15 lbs. (Judging by the amount I kept off after D was weaned - I pretty much didn't notice any of the side effects of BC until I went off it and realized, hey, THIS is what not feeling like crap all the time is like! This is great!)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
speaking as a person with diabetes, Pasta and bread are still not evil. The general diet of people from the USA -- way more bread and pasta and not enough fruits and vegetables. Low fiber is more evil.
do you like my soapbox?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that was me traditionally as well.

Before the pill -- random cycles. I never knew when it would show up

That's interesting, beth. My dad's internist basically told him he could have bread and pasta or he could be on insulin.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
If you watch The Unusuals, turn on the sub-titles, there are some of Dispatch's comments there that aren't in the audio. Funny stuff.
