yeah sorry john youre not making any sense

i think maybe you are confusing ru-486 (which is not called this anymore, it is called mifeprex and terminates or "aborts" a confirmed pregnancy) with the morning after pill?
― roxymuzak, Thursday, 1 July 2010 01:00 (thirteen years ago) link
also, medically, a miscarriage is an abortion. it is called a spontaneous abortion. a surgical abortion is a therapeutic abortion, and an abortion via mifeprex is a medical or nonsurgical abortion (ime)

yeah you guys're right, I'm just leery of describing the preventing of implantation as "abortion"

implantation occurs with 72 hours. mifeprex can be used up to 7 weeks of pregnancy
it's ok rox this would not be the first time I am wrong about something!

Been there, totally. Jizzing all over someone else tends to lose its charm (what little it has, tbh) when you're doing so only for contraceptive purposes. There's an element of justifiable anxiety in every ejaculation.

Girlfriend says she was a 34B pre-Mirena (which she got a couple of months before we met), now a 34D - no other weight gain. Possibly the most awesome contraceptive side effect ever, aside from no babies.

anything is possible, I suppose, but since there's no estrogen in Mirena, this seems unlikely.

YAY LAUREL!!!
What kind did you get? If it's a ParaGard the cramps will be awful for the fist 6 months or so but it gets better. My advice is to invest in some maximum strength painkillers and stick with it! :D

Don't make me have to come back there and separate you two.
I don't know if I've posted this yet. but one of the other students had been using withdrawal as his only contraceptive method for the entire time he had been married--about two years. There was also someone who had been using the rhythm method as her only form of contraception for the five years she had been married. The rhythm method, not the basal temperature method. In 2009. Not for religious or medical reasons, but just because. (Both of these people were under 25, BTW.)

Para! I never had cramps before, or not memorable ones, so I thought, how bad could a little cramping be? But they're still going....
― I've got ten bucks. SURPRISE ME. (Laurel), Thursday, 16 September 2010 23:36 (thirteen years ago) link
Are you feeling any better now?
― Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Friday, 17 September 2010 00:09 (thirteen years ago) link
Better this morning! Not symptom-free, but better. :) Man, NO WONDER people don't like getting their periods if this is what it feels like!
― I've got ten bucks. SURPRISE ME. (Laurel), Friday, 17 September 2010 13:48 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, I have a Para too and rarely had cramps before insertion. The first couple days of each period for the six months following insertion were pretty awful. A lot of ppl get fed up during that time and get them removed but after six months it gets a lot better. Just make sure you are prepared and have your painkillers of choice on hand during those times. I've had mine for 4 + years now and my periods are like they were pre-IUD.
― master of retardment (ENBB), Friday, 17 September 2010 13:59 (thirteen years ago) link
J. has a hot water bottle that she wraps up in blankets and whatnot and puts on her tum-tum, and that seems to help a good bit. So, maybe focused heat? I mean, I guess, maybe next time. She could tell you a lot more about cramps than I could, though.
― kenan, Friday, 17 September 2010 14:03 (thirteen years ago) link
Obviously.
― kenan, Friday, 17 September 2010 14:04 (thirteen years ago) link
There's disposable hot packs made for wearing on your lower belly for cramps, BTW. I've never gotten cramps, but I do get a mild backache.

"Tum tum" is a horrible thing to say.
― Jenny, Friday, 17 September 2010 14:41 (thirteen years ago) link
It was meant as a compliment to "whatnot" more than anything else. I don't think I've ever said it out loud, and won't anytime in the foreseeable future.
― kenan, Friday, 17 September 2010 14:42 (thirteen years ago) link
Heat on my stomach makes me feel sick, it always has. I'd prefer an ice pack tbh but I think that makes muscle problems worse! Will prob just tough it out with painkillers, off to find some Advil....
― I've got ten bucks. SURPRISE ME. (Laurel), Friday, 17 September 2010 14:49 (thirteen years ago) link
The numbing effects of ice wouldn't penetrate far enough into your body to do any good.
― Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Friday, 17 September 2010 15:23 (thirteen years ago) link
I appreciate that.
― Jenny, Friday, 17 September 2010 15:44 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe try naproxen (sp?) - the NZ equivalent is naprogesic, which i used to take and was the only thing that ever helped with my severe cramping (which on a couple of occasions was so bad i almost fainted). it's some kind of muscle relaxant.
nowadays i pretty much never get cramps but i get awful terrible lower back pain almost every time.
― just1n3, Friday, 17 September 2010 15:47 (thirteen years ago) link
Naproxen is sold under the brand name Aleve here.

My pain is less of a pain and more of a presence--I feel two long ovals embedded on either side of my coccyx.

we love you Kenan, but "use a heating pad/hot pack" is menstruation 101.I have a Mirena and no cramps.

I never took menstruation 101! And Laurel said she'd never had cramps before.

One day a kid was called up to the front of class for show and tell. He drew a period on the blackboard.

BTW, I've always been bothered by the "If men had periods, they would brag about how long, painful, and heavy they were" thing. I mean, I can't think of any male-specific non-sexual bodily functions that men brag about.
