A thread for female troubles

... or a thinly veiled attempt to stop myself feeling guilty about posting icky things that could have easily gone into the ninja killing thread. Also I can't remember the last time I started a thread

I haven't had a period in two months since I came off the contraceptive pill and it's got me worried. I know I'm not pregnant as my last boyfriend was two years ago and I haven't had so much as a kiss since then.

Worst part is that I've been spotting over the past week which has been getting my hopes up that it was just one missed month which happened a lot before I started the pill, but so far nothing. And I keep feeling like I've started only to find that it's nothing.

The earliest I can get to a family planning clinic to talk to someone about this is friday. So it's got till then to sort itself out

I really don't think you should worry. Going on/coming off the contraceptive pill is well known to f*ck around with your hormones and mess up your menstrual cycle. I can't think of anything which could actually be wrong with you other than maybe PCOS which is sometimes supressed by taking the pill, and causes irregular/no periods. I personally think as it's only been a couple of months you shouldn't worry.

Thanks, that's good to know

It's just irritating the f*ck out of me. I had irregular and extremely painful periods beforehand, to the point where I'd be unable to walk because of them. The pill sorted that all out, but sod's law, it also gave me chest pains after a few months.

I just want the damn thing over and done with

I'll ask on friday. I'm pretty much committed to going now and it's easier than trying to fit an appointment into my schedule

my mate had something like that

turned out it was something about the cells in the cervix being the wrong type of epithelium for where & what it is

nah, still on the same one
she was examined, told to go back a couple of weeks later if it was still happening to have it cauterised

it sorted itself out in her case, but either way, best to get examined

Does anyone else get cramps in their bum that are like labour contractions? (not that I know what labour contractions feel like)

At my worst I'd feel the cramps from just below my ribcage right down to my thighs, and it'd feel like my insides were trying to twist themselves apart. I once screamed at my cousin for saying that she had bad cramps, then rubbing her stomach and saying that made it better. She's either the luckiest b*tch in the world or she just doesn't know what cramps really mean

goddamn implant

i am yet again without a "real" period, just f*cking clots & film
hardly anything even reaches the pads.

sick of it, it lasts over a week too, i'm going to end up having to shove a tampon in at the beach again if we go to faliraki
