I am sick and tired of this entire menstruation boondoggle.

This month's offerings have included cramps sufficiently bad to not only hurt like hell but also spasm my colon (which, admittedly, is not as bad as the sort of stuff I went through before I went on the pill, which included things like an episode or two of trying to be a bright and perky goddamn receptionist through literal blinding pain), the usual hot flashes which fade abruptly and make normality feel like a cold flash, a spate of nasty dizziness at tai chi yesterday which I was not capable of explaining in a socially acceptable manner, and now blood soaking things that it should not be soaking.

It's a goddamn boondoggle. Can we stop funding this project already?

Anywhere from six months to a year in, on combination BCP or the minipill, I get horrendous neurological migraines and the docs yank me off. The last doc was impressed that someone could manage that on the minipill, since it doesn't even have estrogen in it.

I eventually got tired of that dance, and the boy likewise wanted no part of his fertility, and the rest is urological history.
