hey paint--did you take the nuvaring out at the right time? my experience with those things is that any irregularity will mess up the bleeding, if it's not messed up already.
Something my ob/gyn did to help control my bleeding on BC was to give me little menopause patches--vivelle dots--to put on when the bleeding started. It helped control it some. Not ideal, because it's a tiny dose of estrogen, but does help control the bleeding.
I hope both you and MacGregor (this is his name?) feel better soon. I'm sorry you're in such a dead-end day.

I took my Nuva ring out to have my period like I usually do and then put a new ring in on the 5th day of my cycle. I found about my kidney infection and was so irritated that I took it out on a Friday and started my period again this past Tuesday. I had only gone a week before my period started again. I've had a new ring in since Tuesday and I'm still bleeding. The Dr. on call at my OBGYN office called me back. He thought eventually it would stop, but that he thought it would be a good idea to see my OBGYN and get a physical exam to make sure nothing else is going on. I'll ask her about that menopause patch you mentioned. Mcgee is my kitties name, but you were close.  He seems fine now. He's looking out the windows at the bunnies. I'm just scared right now and emptying the bucket. I hate this stupid disease and what it does to me emotionally. I hold it together really well most of the time, but I can't stop crying today. Thanks for responding. I appreciate it. |

Hmm, if you take your ring out mid-cycle, it can throw things off. When your body senses a drop in hormones, it takes it as a signal to shed the uterine lining. And I'm sure the hormones aren't helping with your emotions, either!
Whatever the case, I hope things dry up for you soon and you can get back on track. Don't beat yourself up for crying and being emotional, it sounds like you could really stand to empty the bucket all the way!

I've dried up for now. I spent some time on the phone with some friends and feel a little better. I'm going to take a hot shower and go get a massage.
I have a really hard time emptying the bucket so hopefully this time I'll get it all out.

SO annoyed with the number of 'RIP Gaddafi' status updates showing up in my newsfeed on facebook. I mean seriously?!! He was a lunatic murderer of thousands and they found him brandishing a golden pistol for f*ck sake!

I really hate when I try to give someone a compliment and it turns into a 10 minute long bitch session about how much they hate ____ about themselves. It's like complimenting someone digs up every single insecurity they have and makes them feel terrible.
I don't know how to handle people like this. Just stop being nice to them?

Sorry to just bust in after a while but I have brewing over this for days and needed to tell people who understand the insult:
Girls who have been here for at least 2 years will know I had something of a meltdown with depression, had some antidepressants which ended up with me wanting to kill myself, I was self harming and having panic attacks because I was seeing myself hanging from trees. My bf of 4 years was an on and off c*nt and this time, he really came through for me, looked after me at his place with the panic attacks and then after a lap I had. Except the day I came home from the hospital he made me clear out my room with him and then 2 days later threatened to drop a widescreen TV on me while I lay in bed after the most pathetic little argument. He wouldn't let me sleep when I felt like, despite knowing I needed to rest when my body told me to etc, I can see now he probably made my recovery as difficult as it was. We already knew this.
But he had an alternate facebook, which he used to contact other girls, and he had this for the last 2 years of our relationship. Putting on pics of his buff body, girls he would normally make comments about in the street because they looked particularly, um, unsavoury.
One of these times he was putting on pics and exchanging messages was during that time of my terrible mental and physical illness. We seemed a lot closer at that time (though now I look back and see how cruel he was) He swears that he never cheated, but I would feel better if he had, cos I think he did anyway. I was in hospital under the assumption that my bowels or fallopian tubes were badly damaged, waiting to see if I could have his kids. THANK GOD I DIDN'T EVER GET PREGNANT TO HIM.
And this all came up because he wanted to talk in person about what he'd done to me over the years, which is a helluva lot. I asked if his girlfriend minded, he said she didn't know we were in touch, I brought up his 'honesty issues' from there. Had to force him to admit to it, after he initially denied knowing about a facebook.
Ladies, happily together or single, just be grateful if you are not with a pig like that. I would happily live as a cat lady in pencil skirts than be that brow beaten cretin that planned to marry him. If this story rings true in any way, just get out of there. He would have had me dead one way or another but that last betrayal just takes the cake, I went around thinking 'well besides everything else, at least he didn't cheat' um, wrong.

Aw, sh*t, Cherry, I'm sorry he popped back into your life and tried to drag all that stuff up! What an ass.
I think the good news is that the woman he was with a while ago and the woman you are know are two different people. I'm glad you were able to free yourself of him, and although his getting in touch with you is making you rethink all that stuff, you're on the other side of it all now.
Love you lots!!

I do blame myself because I got in touch with him, thinking he might still be in a bad way but I think the crying he was doing will have been for show now too. I think (hope) there is a distinct possibility that due to his abuse of injectable tan and steroids, and his philandering, that one of his private bits will drop off. How sad. When I said he had to tell his girlfriend that we were talking, he was making a million excuses why not. Should have been warned that he didn't tell me about her... he probably thought I was sniffing after him which I wasn't. I was really upset yesterday but I'm better today, the lads from my gym have had me laughing aloud at their bickering and stopped my descent into man-hating. Still filtering but so so grateful! If I ever get in that way again, I will get better a million times faster without a bloodsucker like him. Remember that ladies... any man who tries to convince you that you can't do it alone, is the one person you can definitely do without. Or woman! Abusive partners are male or female. Love you Karen |
