Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
If I ever start needing birth control again, I might have to consider the Mirena, despite my whimpering fear of the pain of the insertion. I hated the Pill, it made me crazy, and I'm allergic to latex, and I don't trust any other condoms.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
despite my whimpering fear of the pain of the insertion.
Anecdata tells me that it's not that bad for most women. (Well, anecdata and the interwebs.) However, it was a sharp pain for me, worse than I expected, but over quickly. (That said, I gasped so loudly that I shocked my OB/GYN. Perhaps her practice is only for people who feel no pain.)
I'm curious if it will hurt the same amount this time. Obviously hoping it won't.

I think it helps if you have an idea of what you are in for. I had a few (TMI warning) IUIs when we were first trying to get pregnant, so I knew it was going to pinch.

I get woozy just from a pap smear. I have very low pain tolerance. Luckily, there's Valium.

Yeah, when I had to get a colposcopy, I was not a happy camper--they offered to prescribe something to take and have me come back, but I was like "JUST FINISH!" So I suspect I'd be a bad candidate.

The pill makes your hair straighter? Man, hormones are freaky.
I wonder if that works for black people.
My hair got thinner as the dosage got higher. If I have the surgery again, I'm going to ask for a lower dose pill and be prepared to slowly ramp up again.

Our wings are not tired.
I had no idea that the IUD stopped periods. Huh. Haven't had one in almost 10 years, so no longer an issue for me, just surprised that somehow I didn't know this.
We need more options for birth control that don't suck or have major side effects. I am so grateful not to have to worry about it anymore. Like Zenkitty, I get woozy from a pap smear, and really if a doctor is holding any implement of torture. Like really, why do we not have a simple painless method of getting blood out? Get it on science people!
eta: My mind was typing 'Get on it science people', but I will leave the typo.

Has anyone tried e.l.f. mineral make-up? There is a groupon for it.
