How does that happen? The amenorrhea, not the wet ears.

Clodfobble · 02-27-2013, 11:19 AM

I have an IUD. The doctor said it's about 50/50 whether periods will continue or stop altogether while it's in there.

Sundae · 02-27-2013, 12:55 PM

And I have a contraceptive implant that is good for three years.
You can feel it underneath the skin - I don't tend to as it makes me feel a bit queasy, but if anyone questions me I let them feel it.

It's not suitable for every woman, and some have to have it taken out for excessive bleeding. Me? I lucked out. No blood for ?six? years now. Just two little scalpel marks on my upper arm.

Clodfobble · 02-27-2013, 04:48 PM

Oh yeah, I forgot the excessive bleeding can be a side effect too. I bled lightly for six weeks straight when it first went in, but then it stopped. Have an appointment to get it removed* next month, so we'll see what kind of deluge follows that...

*Not for purposes of impregnation, for those who might be worried. Mr. Clod's had a vasectomy, and I figured there's no reason to have a plastic object inside me if it's not necessary.

Sundae · 02-28-2013, 04:06 AM

S'funny. From watching Merkin TV, IUDs seem the go-to solution.

I do not know anyone who has one. It's the pill or the three monthly injection.

Then again, I do not personally know anyone else who has the implant, despite me "selling" it for the last six years. I think that's the ick factor though.

So you're a cyborg.

I, for one, welcome etc.

Aliantha · 02-28-2013, 05:00 AM

IUD's and 'The Rod', are very common over here among women who have partners who worry about their manhood and stuff and wont get the snip.

I'll probably end up with an IUD, partly for that reason, and also a couple of others which I wont mention here cause they're probably just not anything anyone here would want to know about. lol Just the fact that I brought up tampons is almost too gross for some I think.

BigV · 02-28-2013, 09:54 AM

but the tampons... we want to know about that..

:snicker:

xoxoxoBruce · 02-28-2013, 09:52 PM

You mean ammo.

The bandolier is cool, I think that should be more common - we as a culture ought to de-mystify menstruation. Being jokingly open about carrying tampons is a start.

But I am rather disturbed by the ... device ... he is holding.

ZenGum · 02-28-2013, 11:23 PM

I actually came here to post, I like lychees. Partly, they are healthy and yummy, but also, I am amused by the confusion caused at the supermarket checkout ... "umm, what are these?"

It's less amusing when asked the same question about broccoli, which has happened to me. (also with other somewhat common vegetables) Granted she was a young cashier in training, but still.

glatt · 03-01-2013, 07:20 AM

I'll have to try them.

Sundae · 03-01-2013, 08:44 AM

In our "big four" supermarkets they come pre-packed. So they have a barcode and there are no probs.

On the market you ask for them by name so again, no probs.

I do love me some lychees.
Hate the air-miles.
So I buy them by the box, figuring it's beetter that way.

Lychees are my second favourite fruit.
After cherries. But I try to hold off til they are in season.
Apart from anything else it does make them more special.
Who knows, perhaps Penny (my tree) might gift me one of two this year.
