Natter 66: Get Your Kicks.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think it has the opposite effect and makes periods heavier.
Yikes! Hormones it is!
Does anyone know if the Paraguard has the same effect? I'd prefer to go hormone-free if I can. (Hormonal BC makes me...hormonal.)
Hormonal BC makes me a RAGING LUNATIC. But the Mirena's been fine.
I'll stand up for the Nuvaring. Hasn't eliminated my periods, but they are much easier than before. Best part is they have come close to eliminating my crazy migraines. Kinda like my periods - they haven't gone away entirely, but are much more manageable.
eta - 'before' makes so much more sense than 'better'.
One of the grad students who works for us got married a couple of weeks ago and she just sent around her pictures. She's a lovely 22 year old who, because of the heavy-handed make-up job on her wedding day, looks 20 years older. I'll need to arrange my own face very carefully when I tell her how much I enjoyed seeing them.
Also, her dress was huge (in addition to being 22 years old, she's also about 22 lbs) and no one in the pictures could get too close without leaning in.
Perkins' college friend beats me, but my sister and I are a year and 5 days apart.

I second this.

Yikes.
I'll be doing a test with my friend doing my makeup. The plan is for something like this:
Nuvaring was OK. Since it'll be at least 2 years if ever before we try for another kid, I'd prefer an IUD (completely brainless - it goes in, it stays there).
Oh yeah, I loved the Nuvaring, and skipped plenty of periods on it!

Lovely. I sort of wonder if it's just a good idea not only to take a few pictures approximating the light you'll have on the day, but take a few next to a Bob stand in so you know what it looks like next to someone who isn't wearing any makeup.
Signed, I really don't know what I'm talking about.
