YAY TMI

At least I'm not having sex or anything, because then I'd be all "OMG, I'm 3 weeks late, WTF?"

Ha, I know. Story: a little while ago when I first started riding the crimson wave into womanhood, I heard about 'phantom' pregnancies (don't know if that's what they're being called, don't care) where your body thinks it's pregnant when there's actually no fetus or anything. And then, that godawful "HAHA NO PERIOD FOR YOU THIS MONTH... OR THIS ONE..." happened and I was like "OMFGZ I'M WITH CHILD!" And yeah. it scared the crap out of me, 'cause I was so... um. I'm not sure. But I have an excuse for thinking I was pregnant even though I'd never had sex. I'm sure.

I'd be happy because my bras wouldn't be either squishy or have too much room.

That happens to me, 'cept I'm somewhere between an A and B (heading toward B now! Yipeee)... or possibly even somewhere between an A and the girl's section. *grumbles incoherently*

whatever comes next

DD?

I'm nauseous a lot after I take it, have headaches, occasional random hot flashes, and my cramps have actually seemed to worsen

Exactly what happened to me. Except I don't remember having hot flashes. Instead I used to wake up through the night or morning with excruciating cramps in my calf muscles. Like, as if someone was pinching the muscle with a pair of pliers. At least, I assume that was a side-effect. It started when I started the Pill, and ended after a short while. And apparently the Pill has been known to cause DVT, and these cramps happened when I was sleeping, therefore immobile. I'm not saying I had a clot, I'm just saying maybe it's connected. The doctor said it could also be my magnesium (?) levels screwing with the muscle, so I dunno if the Pill can screw with that. Whatever. I'm thinking this up now.

But yeah. I definitely suffered from nausea (particularly in the morning when I woke up) and my cramps definitely got worse. Can't say for sure if I experienced headaches as a side effect... I'm always getting headaches.

When I can't last for two hours on the biggest tampon they make, you can see how I get kinda fed up with the whole thing.

I can see what you mean. Hopefully the birth control will help that. Actually, come to think of it, I think it helped me. I still stay away from tampons though. I'm so paranoid about it falling out or that I'm gonna die from Toxic Shock Syndrome or sumfink.

I am logic!girl, anyway, so I should know. That's my superhero name

*giggles* Logic!Girl!. Da daa da daaaa!
