Hmmm I don't know how insurance/health care works where you are Kenzie.

Surely there are clinics around where you can get the Pill? I would make the effort because it is your health.

Or failing that I would go to the doctors with my mother saying its for one thing and when you get in the room - tell him all about your very heavy periods and is there anything you can take to help with that. Your mothers not really going to be able to start arguing in front of the doctor - and that way she will hear about it from a doctors perspective and may be more inclined to agree with you taking it.

Then let her tackle your father, or just don't tell him.

Religion really has nothing much to do with it to my mind, Your father (like a lot of men) is ignorant about the way our bodies work. No one should have to put up with 11 days of heavy bleeding - not only for your health's sake, but just how much it impacts your life. I was double over with cramps for days on end. Couldn't go to school, couldn't go out. Nothing.

I would really push and make a stand on this point - even if it caused arguments. But that's just me.

Okay, how bad is this, really?

I look like Two Face.

The left side of my head looks nice and pretty...

The right side...looks like a flock of birds could come nest in it at any given moment.

I detest it when the word rape is used like that. It's even worse for me when a woman does it, and unfortunately there are some that do.

Oh, and all this period talk made me start mine.. Yes I'm blaming you, and you, and you, and YOU! So there.

I might have to start talking about mine because I'd LOVE to get it before we move instead of during it.

I know where I used to work all the girls eventually got on the same schedule, it's so weird how nature and our bodies work!

My sister has had the ablation procedure so she rarely gets a period. I take Seasonique so I rarely get a period.
But if we spend alot of time together we both start our periods. She blames me because I'm older. : )

PS Dear Mother Nature,
Hey, how about letting me at least start perimenopause please!

What's ablation in this regard?
--------------------------
Okay. Got it. I think I'm relieved, though maybe a little wistful. Too much work, and poor communication. I don't need the world, but......so little? Really?

Sigh (in a mild way).

kat180

Does anyone know how that happens lol? Why women who spend a lot of time together find their bodies seem to develop the same... timetable as it were?

SCG

I'm not really sure, but even though I find it kind of interesting... I also hate it, because my sister always drags me off my normal schedule when she's home!

Here's info. NovaSure - Stop your heavy period and restore your life.

I'm probably a prime candidate (long, heavy periods very close together and getting closer all the time), but I'm not a big proponent of having medical procedures just to make my life easier.
My sister on the other hand will do anything to make herself feel better in the slightest way - from dyed hair and fake nails to a face lift. And this surgery which hasn't worked at all for her. She still gets periods quite regularly. But I know others who have never gotten another period after the surgery. So there ya go. More than you ever wanted to know about having your uterus scraped out. : )

Thanks, Jeepy.

Should make for an exciting read!

The suspense is keeeeeeeeel-ing meeee! We might be getting our isht packed in one week!! ONE WEEK!!! Moving company, come on and call us already and set up these dates!!! I'm so spazzo-bouncing-off-the-walls-excited right now.

Oh my wordy, I'm ready to (wistfully) sing some Willie Nelson as we pull out of the driveway *On the road again...just can't wait to get on the road again...*

I've already started packing up things the movers won't take (looks like a box factory exploded in the hallway) and am ready to start taking crap off the walls. Woo-to-tha-hoo!!
