I don't know that I've ever been strictly regular, but I've never really tracked it to find out. Roughly 28 sounds about right. I can always tell it's coming a couple of days ahead - not PMS or cramps but just sort of a rumbly feeling - so it was never really an issue. Less would certainly be more in this arena, though.

I have a long cycle, but very heavy bleeding and cramps for a few days before it starts. I'd take closer together and less painful, no matter how much weight I gained, as long as I was still mobile and able to find clothes.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Since I got the Mirena, I have no period, and haven't had one for a couple of years, and it is TEH AWESOME. Like Cashmere, I will be sad when I have to have it yanked. I haven't bought tampons or maxipads in years. YEARS.

“Not dead yet!”

I hated the Mirena with the heat of a thousand suns. It made my periods and cramps worse. Couldn't get it out fast enough.

With diabetes, I can get away with reasonable amounts of whole wheat pasta, and double fiber bread without needing insulin. Fiber, and complex carbs

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Before my thyroid deccided to get whacky, I was 28 days like clockwork. Which made it nice for predicting ovulation. Then the thyroid crapped out and I would be at 23 days, 28 days, 35 days. And when you are trying to get pregnant and your period shows up a full week late? Not fun.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I nominated myself for the 3 Quarks Daily Blog Award for science blog post.

That's how I roll.

Allyson!! I was *just* wondering about you and how you were doing! Like, doing a threadsuck for your name to see if I missed something! How are you?

I am alive! Back at JPL, pretty much done with the spit shine on the bat book before sending it off to Agent Kate, and starting to dip my toes back into the social scenery.
