Yes, I'm not a big fan of mucking with hormones at all. I was mostly being facetious, though. You could also fix monthly periods with a hysterectomy. Doesn't mean you should. It's part of nature, leave it alone unless it makes your life unliveable, in which case do what you need, but please, for the love of fsm, don't share it with me

---

I think men should be able to go into a store and buy tampons with out feeling stupid. I do not believe anyone should discuss the ins and outs of anyone's menstruation at the dinner table. It's great that we no longer make women ring bells and yell "unclean", but I'm happy for the acceptability of the issue not to go too far in the other direction.

Everyone poops, but if you talk about it at our dinner table, we make you take you plate into the kitchen and eat in there. So far it's only happened to my son, but I think it's a good rule.

I've bought tampons for my wife when picking up other things at the store and she needed them. Didn't feel dumb about it.

It's not like anyone's thinking 'oh my why does that man need tampons?' most think 'what a cool husband/boyfriend.'

Men are liberated too.

Yeah, Mirena stopped my periods... but only after I bled for the first 6 weeks straight.

In my neck-o-the-woods it becomes: I don't trust anything that bleeds for a week and don't die.

I think that makes Clod a zombie. Or Christ. Or a buffet for a vampire.

Wasn't that a movie and tv show..."Buffet, the Vampire Slayer"? lol

I'm on Implanon and haven't had a period for six years. Lovely.
All medical people I have spoken to say it's actually good for my body not to create and destroy the lining of my womb needlessly every month.

Have a hysterectomy?
Erm, no thanks.
I've known enough of women who have (none as elective surgery).
Three months off work it a lot more unpleasant than 10 minutes every three years to have a small incision in my arm and a new implant added. It doesn't even require a Doctor, simply a trained Nurse.

I'll take my chances on long term effects in the way I do by being overweight. It's a gamble, but an informed one.

Products I never knew existed? Until recently, edible glue and edible marker pens. Now I use them every week.

DanaC · 04-07-2011, 07:30 AM

I was thinking...wtf? Edible marker pens? Who wants to eat marker pens? Then I reconsidered and realised: kiddywinks.

Silly girl! I mean in cake decorating terms.
I can stick on googly eyes with edible glue (mini marshmallows) and draw on wings and smiles and things with "pen".

I knew these things existed, but, this is the best one I've seen (the guy talking in the vid doesn't seem all that impressed, though). Un-noticeable, to you.

infinite monkey · 04-07-2011, 07:53 AM

Envious. Seems I'm starting that 5 to 7 to 10 year trek and I don't know if I can stand it that long. The moods!

Did you gals take hormones? I worry about me being a smoker. Natural remedies you'd recommend?

Cloud · 04-07-2011, 05:19 PM

no, I'm not taking hormones. Could have used some anti-crazy meds right after the hysto, tho.

Gravdigr · 04-08-2011, 03:02 PM

And then there are these...

Oh God look at those glubs. I think I threw up a little in my mouth.
