Re: TW : mental health stuff

[(Anonymous)]

OMG THIS. Not only do we have to deal with messy bleeding, pain, and hormones messing with emotions, but then we have to pay through the nose for sanitary products which should be fucking free. Not like we CHOSE this.

Getting my IUD was the best thing. I don't have to deal with the mess anymore, I save money, there's no pain, and my PMS symptoms are practically indistinguishable from normal mood fluctuations. I have more spoons to deal with actual life now.

I wanna get one tbh from everything i hear. I'm enough of a wreck without this.

Also what's aggravating is how often my dad plays it down and jokes and acts like it's not a big deal sometimes . I feel like there are times when he doesn't try to get what an issue it causes me. He does try sometimes tho but ...idk.
With my bipolar i can sometimes get straight up suicidal for no reason then I calm down and it just flips off.

It kinda scares me .

I know it wouldn't help with the mental issues, but your dad should be forced to wear one of those cramps simulators. Men can never handle it.

Yeah.
I just don't get how he is about it. After a wife and THREE daughters!!!

nayrt but honestly, men can be really dense and lacking in empathy that way. Women are half the planet's population, they're your mothers, wives and daughters and you STILL don't understand or take women's health (and body autonomy for that matter) seriously. I swear to god if men had to deal with this bs on a monthly basis, there'd be tears and drama and it'd be a major MRA talking point, but since they don't? *big ol' sexist shrug*

Not lying.

I mean, there are plenty of women who also can't understand that stuff too because it doesn't happen to them.

I'm a woman and I honestly can't understand what people are talking about when they talk about having horrible cramps because I've never had anything worse than slight discomfort that goes away if I take a Tylenol.

Does your lack of firsthand experience with serious cramps and menstrual issues mean that you regularly dismiss other women's health concerns? Because if the answer is no, then you're not the kind of person that's being talked about here. You're not being singled out, so there's no need to #butwaitsomewomenareassholestoo the conversation about men who are idiots about women's health issues.

If the answer is yes... please do better. It doesn't take having terrible cramps yourself to grasp the fact that other people experience more pain than you, sometimes.

Everything I've read about IUD's makes me NOT want them inside my body as birth control. Why did you choose it?

Re: TW : mental health stuff

AYRT

Medical reasons:

Along with all the things written above - I have always had very heavy flow with large clots, sometimes as large as my palm. Luckily, I usually only bled for four days. I'm also ace, so I didn't feel an IUD was really worth it (I don't need BIRTH control), cause I have also read about them.

A few years ago the bleeding just ... didn't stop. I bled for 6 months. The clots got larger - some days it was all clot. Obviously I knew something was wrong after day 6, and it took 2 months to get an appointment with an obgyn specialist. Long story short, they needed to do a biopsy and I was offered several treatment options if it wasn't cancer (it wasn't). It was going to take another 4 months before they had an opening to do the biopsy (I couldn't have it done in the office for medical reasons). At that point, I decided I had had enough of menstruation for a lifetime, and, of all the options I had that weren't doing nothing, an IUD was the only reversible one, so I said fuck it. If it the IUD caused problems I would just have it removed; and from the stats I read I had a decent chance of it being fine.

It took about four months after I got the IUD for my periods to really stop. About a year or so of my hormones being a little crazy (LOTS of night sweats at first) it's finally settled down and I have stopped tracking what time of the month it is. I don't know if I'm going to replace it once it's time for removal, but I do love not having to deal with any of it.
