"Hold on to your f'ing hat..."

After so much serious talk, I just thought I'd pass on something that gave me a great laugh. It was a skit that was on Saturday Night Live last week, and I know all you ladies will appreciate it. It's a spoof on all those stupid birth control commercials that tout how you will hardly ever have a period when you use their birth control pill. Considering all I've gone through this last year, I related and had a good laugh! Tina Fey rocks!

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=29020099

You don't need a Myspace account to view the video by the way.

Speaking of periods, mine has finally come. It wasn't really a "hold on to your hat" situation. Frankly I was really surprised. Since the IUD removal, I have had several "mini-periods", where I would bleed for 1-2 hours and then it would stop and not happen again for a few days. Some might call that spotting, but I say if you have to use a tampon and it's more than half "used", then it's a mini-period. On Saturday I was experiencing more of the same, and thought that it would just go away. Well, no, it's back and quite heavy. It's pretty non-eventful, no cramps, no mood swings, and no bloating, so that's good. I'm mainly all thumbs because I haven't had a period for a year, so it's weird getting used to it.

All in all, it's a good thing. Having a period is a natural and normal thing, and I am pleased that my body is working itself out and trying to get in a normal synch again. As funny as that Tina Fey video is, it has a ring of truth to it. Not having a period really wacks you out. I'd much rather deal with it than not.

I suppose I am a little less bummed out about my weight. My stomach seems to bloat and unbloat at a moment's notice. My husband has been telling me that I've lost weight, but since he is a wonderful person, I just assumed he was being nice and saying the things he is supposed to say. However, my aunt saw me today for the first time since my Mirena removal and said, "Oh my gosh, you've really lost weight!" I suppose there is something to it, although the weight has come off on weird places like my arms and ankles. The waistband of my pants is still so tight.

Other than that, I am feeling great. I have felt so mellow since the IUD removal. I haven't had those gnarly mood swings, and the mood around the house is so much more relaxed. My sex life is back, and that has me in an even better mood!

I hope you ladies are having a good week. Keep posting, and to those of you who have gotten your IUDs removed, please keep us posted on how things are going.

It’s obvious some patients with HIV/CANCER are been enslaved to the antiviral and other supplementary Orthodox medicine just to help suppress the virus and not a cure. I have been with the virus since 2012 until I was introduce by a blogger who also narrated her story online on how she was cured of Genital Herpes after using Dr ATAKUMA's Herbal Medicine. This is a year and 2 weeks since I was delivered from Herpes. All thanks to God for using this Great herbalist to heal me. I have promise to keep telling good about Dr ATAKUMA. Please fill free to share Your problems with him and don’t forget to tell him I did refer you to Him. Thanks. Write him on mail dr.atakumaoracle@outlook.com or whats app him on +2347064693371 or write me directly for more info alexenderpaulfliks@gmail.com

Stress wasn't helping my situation. I ended up having her natural and she is a beautiful healthy 2 month old baby girl.

Wow! After reading these posts, I realise Im not losing it...

Since I had the Mirena inserted, nothing for the first few months, then I noticed I started to gain weight... I also had body pain from one end of my body to the other (doctor said it must be Fibromyalgia!!), I ached ALL the time, my movement is extremely limited as everything HURTS. Getting out of bed, it's like Im 90 years old.

I have a huge amount of puffiness in my fingers to the point where I can't close my hands into a fist. And I have now put on almost 20kgs!!I eat Paleo, so very few carbs and still the weight piled on.

The other thing Ive noticed is the nausea... it's 24/7. I wake up with it, it sits nastily with me all day and I go to sleep with it... does this sound like any of you?

Got the mirena for two days and took it out!!! Best decision in my life!!! Only for two days, I felt eye pressure, dry eyes, swollen face, Strong mood swing, headache. I was thinking to keep it at least for a month to give it a chance or I should say gave myself a chance to adapt it but I eventually decided to take it out because I didn’t need more reasons to deny it. The hormone is definitely not local. It goes all over your body. There is no way the hormone won’t affect your body, your mood. Maybe it’s so slight that you won’t notice it if you don’t focus on it. And most of the time, people are so busy they don’t even pay attention to their change. Even if there are any changes, we may find other reasons to blame other than blame Mirena. I was thinking that why i should keep Mirena in my body, feeling all the nasty feelings day by day just to avoid getting pregnant for those 15-30 mins sex which not even happy every day. Lol. Just doesn’t make any sense for me to use it. With that thing in my uterus, I didn’t even want any sex. My stomach was bloating!

Well, ladies, you really don’t need more than two days to tell the side effect from Mirena. Unless You keeps telling yourself, it’s going to be fine eventually. I’ll afapt it eventually. And then, ignore whatever side effect that you actually have. Otherwise, you feel the side effect. It’s there. Always there. All over your body!!! It’s never local like doctor said.

I’m so happy that I took it out after two days. The second day I took it out, my dry eyes were gone. There was no more pressure on my eyes and head. No more headache. I was just so happy. I felt light on my abdomen area and light on my body in general. My puffy face disappeared.

Today is the third day I got rid of Mirena. I’m complete back to normal. I didn’t regret to have it and experience it for two days so I actually know that it was not as great as doctor told me or as it’s commercial explains. I will never ever choose any hormone related birth control product. I don’t want to destroy my health in my 30s. I want to be real me. That healthy me!!!

For now, I’ll simply use condoms as birth control method. It’s 99% effective and it doesn’t hurt my body and health in any ways. Why not!!!

I have herpes 2 Recently a vegan friend suggested that I could cure herpes on a vegan diet. Funny thing is, a couple of years ago I was asked to cut out on milk by a nutritionist and I did. Of course I did not go full vegan but ever since an infant, I always thrived on milk. but i still say God bless Dr. SANDY for his marvelous work in my life, I and my friends was diagnosed of HERPES since 2015 and I was taking my medications, I wasn't satisfied i needed to get the HERPES out of my system, I searched about some possible cure for HERPES i saw a comment about Dr. SANDY how he cured HERPES with his herbal medicine, I contacted him and he guided me. I asked for solutions, he started the remedy for my health and my friends, he sent me the medicine through UPS SPEED POST. we took the medicine as prescribed by him and 14 days later we was cured from HERPES, and he told me he can cure this..and he told me he can cure some of this illness:::
1 Cancer herbal medicine
2 Hiv herbal medicine
3 Low sperm count
4 Barrenness
5 Hvp herbal medicine
6 Herpes herbal medicine
