Oh, fuck you, uterus.

Hey hey, party people! Guess what I get for Christmas this year?

AN EXTRA PERIOD!

OMG YAY!

Cause I was trying Levlen ED, see. But I had to stop after about four days, because oh, my, freakin', GOD. Nausea so bad that two doses of fucking Stemzine each day couldn't keep me from being green around the gills, flu-like symptoms of malaise and crappiness, bloatedness, abdominal pain, horrible moodiness and depression, and PAIN. God, there was pain. I don't know why there was pain in my pelvis, but there was.

I know I'm supposed to keep taking the damned pill until bad symptoms go away, but I was barely able to eat anything, I was feeling so sick! Goodness, I felt really fucking terrible.

So I stopped and now, now I'm bleeding. I said to Mum, "MUM! I'm bleeding!"

"Oh, breakthrough bleeding is normal after you stop the pill."

"Breakthrough? No, no no, it's like a PERIOD. Like, torrents of blood bleeding!"

Well, apparently that can happen. And I'll admit, this period isn't as bad as my regular periods. It's sort of Period!Lite. Which is still horrible, because my regular periods are a few steps away from early labour cramps (apparently).

*sigh* So! How's your Monday?!

Wow, an extra period! You win the internet as a consolation prize. It sucks.

My Monday is okay so far. Though a friend I was going to see had to cancel because she just found out she's got a benign tumour in her knee. :(

Aren't I the lucky little ducky?

Oh wow. You know you're having a shit Monday when the best thing you can say about your day is, "Well at least it isn't a malignant tumour!"

How's my Monday?

If it's sny consolation, I'm currently nil by mouth cos I've got my laparoscopy in a couple of hours (ish - anywhere between 8 and 12). On the plus side, I'm not about to go into work and face (a) hoards of ill-mannered little buggers who are all wildly over-excited about bloody xmas (b) the line manager from hell. So actually, bring on the surgery!

Eeee I'm sorry to hear that. How are you feeling now?

Re: How's my Monday?

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Hah. When surgery is preferable to work, you have a pretty shitty job!

But dude, the drugs they give you before they put you under are SOOOO GOOOOOOD!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Better now that I'm all drugged up and properly attired for perioding. :)

Certainly puts my Monday into perspective, which other than having sufficient Fail™ to get shampoo in my eye this morning, was really jsut kinda blah.

*manyhugs*

our bodies must be in sync. I woke up to an extra period today. OH YAY THANK YOU GOD FOR THE BIRTHDAY/CHRISTMAS GIFT OF AN EXTRA PERIOD because my 30th birthday in the ER was SO much fun :P

i hate my uterus. i hate it and want it to die. I swear if i could i'd cut the damn thing out myself instead of all this waiting.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

OH, but for a day where shampoo in the eye was the worst thing to happen to me!

We're psychically linked by our hoo-has. We are the hive vagina people fear and loathe.

Let our power vaginas combine into a terrible monster. We could rule the world!

[ophelia-begins.livejournal.com]

MUAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA

(the hello kitty icon makes it that much moe sinister!)

*more even *facepalm* can you tell i'm on my pain meds already? or rather never stopped taking them. ugh. :P

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Dude, you're talking to someone that lives off opiates. I know that of which you speak.

So we'll be a heavily *medicated* hive vagina. Like Roger Ramjet only female!

[ophelia-begins.livejournal.com]

we are made of awesome :) WE WILL ASSIMILATE ALL!

Along with our trusty sidekick, a mecha droid made up of sex-toys known as Vibedong 9000.

Yeah, it was a surprising and unpleasant start to the day, but other than that, not bad at all, really.

Of course, I never did get to shampoo/condition my hair, 'cause that time was spent trying to get the burning out of my eye instead. ;)

Maybe tomorrow. *morehugs*

Levlen made me crazy too - not so much the physical symptoms you describe, but I couldn't stop crying for the several months I was on it. Seriously not fun. And yeah, having a full on period after going off the pill can happen. The last time I stopped taking hormonal birth control I bled constantly for about a month. It was just awesome.
