I did find that when I stopped logging, I ended up eating more. When I started logging again, I noticed how much I was eating.

I'm hoping surgery tbh.

For these horrible cramps to be gone

Will do.

Understood. The only problem is, they think I'm too young to get a tubal (I'm almost 25!) and probably won't do it. :/ but I will let them know that. I would love to have a hysterectomy because even though I understand where you're coming from, for me, fertility isn't my main concern. It's the quality of life that's my…

I have no children and no desire to have any children. In fact, if I end up needing to get a laparoscopic surgery to diagnose and remove endometrial tissue, I'm gonna request a tubal ligation. I've known since I was 19 years old that I have no desire to be a mom.

Cute costume! But in all seriousness, I would say somewhere between a pear and an apple.

Stomach. Even though it's toned a little, I can't seem to get rid of that last little pooch.

Don't apologize. It helps me a lot. Hopefully I'll get some answers at the doctor's. Stabbing cervical pain every month cannot be normal. Thanks for the info.

Thanks. I knew it wasn't just me. My periods used to be fine and not super painful, but ever since I turned 20, my periods have been getting more and more painful. That can't be normal. I'm probably gonna inquire about it, but I'm also wary about the pill because I know it can raise your blood pressure.

I confess I might be bi curious. I'm mostly straight, but I do think some women are sexy too.

Open.

Perfect timing for this thread! I was just about to start a thread on this very subject! I think I'm pmsing right now because I am craving something fried and cheesy! That's what I usually crave in 1-2 weeks before I'm about to start. As for exercise during that time, it ain't easy! I posted a thread last month because my…

Thank you.

Honestly, if that's the case, I would want a hysterectomy. I don't want any kids and losing my fertility would not be a loss to me. As long as I can keep my ovaries, it wouldn't be a problem.

Really? So endo could be causing the shooting vaginal pain?

I bought the diva cup

Cheese and apples

Thanks

Okay I just got an update. Apparently, I learned yesterday that premature menopause runs in my family and there may be a chance I have it. I haven't been diagnosed officially, but it wouldn't surprise me if that was the case. My great aunt on my mother's side told me when she was 28, she experienced the same thing.…

Maybe I'll request an ultrasound since the blood test only revealed a hormonal imbalance.

It isn't constant. It's just 2-3 days before my period and on the first 2 days on my period.

Thanks for the advice about the yoga everyone. I'll look some up online. And on another note, I'm gonna probably end up making a doctor's appointment so I can find out why my cycles are so irregular and what I can do for it.

I have suspected in the past I might have endometriosis or some other reproductive issue. The only thing that it can be pinned down to is some kind of hormonal imbalance. I wonder if it's endo and/or pcos.

Yeah that's one of the reasons why I won't go on the pill but I am gonna get an iud as an alternative.

I'm seriously considering getting the Mirena IUD to lessen if not stop the flow. At first, I hated having irregular cycles, but once it hits me, I almost miss not having it around!

The premenstrual cramps last for about a week, but 2-3 days before and the first day are usually horrible!! I feel like I 'm getting stabbed in my vag! I took one rest night last night but I might be up for it again tonight since the pain has lessened (the flow, not so much).

Yummy!! Bagels and lox
