Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

yes! I'll take hot flashes (which, since my office is FREEZING is more of an advantage than I'd expected).

I have a Mirena and I LOVE it. It makes such a difference with period related headaches. Not having a period has also vastly helped keep my anemia in check.
This is my fifth year and in talking with my doc, she suggested I keep it there and not get a new one. She wants to wait until I'm fully in (over?) menopause.
The installation (thanks Teppy) five years ago does not carry the memory of pain. Discomfort, sure, but nothing that was ouchy (technical term).
I was using the Nuva ring before that and it was ok. I still got headaches and other fun PMS yuck.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Thanks, everyone. I guess first I have to find a new OB-GYN, since the one I saw last year was terrible.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Chiming in late, but I loved the Mirena. My OBGYN is very sympathetic to pain and gave me a prescription for 6 Valium to get me through the insertion. My second one fell out - but that's rare and was probably due to my particular circumstance - and I haven't gotten another, but I'm thinking about it. It was so nice to not have periods, or cramps, or headaches.

My Mirena was great. Sometimes I miss it.

Valium sounds nice.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Funny, I'm about to get my Mirena yanked after only 2.5 years. Between the persistent weight increase and energy level decrease, I'm unhappy enough to voluntarily choose having periods again.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I had an IUD for a couple years (Mirena) and liked it quite well. Installation was uncomfortable, but, in the long run, a definite win for me. I also had the slim-to-none periods side effect, which was lovely

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I know my usual complaint after therapy is to say "Therapy is BULLSHIT," but I am here to say: my parents are complete BULLSHIT. Fuck them.
Therapy was brutal today. It'll help -- it's *been* helping -- but it is so fucking hard.
And now I have to run to the hardware store in 500-degree weather because all the ants on the planet are having a party in our kitchen. All of them. If this is viral marketing for Ant-Man and the Wasp, it is total overkill.
