“Every part of my body both internally and externally is hypermobile except for my fingers, but the diagnostic criteria focuses almost solely on the damn fingers, so I wouldn’t qualify for a Heds diagnosis. I should still ask to get the genetic testing for the other Ehlers Danlos syndromes considering all the symptoms I have, let me check if it’s covered by Medicare… $600 to $2000 out of pocket plus the fees to travel to a genetic testing clinic?!?!? You know what, it’s not like the doctors in rural Australia are going to help me even if I had a diagnosis anyways…”

Idk what fuckery the universe has going on, but I was head over heels for two different girls called Ellie at different points in my late teens and they’ve both got engaged in the past few months while I’m checking my story views… at this point the universe is laughing at me

I’m getting my iud next week, a few months before turning 24, which means I’ll have an almost 0% chance of getting pregnant in my twenties. I held off on the iud for a long time because I didn’t want to add more hormones to my pcos hormone problems, but then my childhood best friend accidentally got pregnant (per her own admission, she had a breeding kink and falsely thought she was infertile) and when I saw her after she had the kid she told me not to get pregnant under any circumstances and so I rang up and booked with the doctor the next day. Considering I’m 23 and girls I went to school with are on their third pregnancies (rural Australia) I can’t lie I’m going into this with a massive sense of relief considering I did have a pregnancy scare or two last year. I’m not even having sex atm but I’m still excited because of the bodily autonomy I’m going to have for years to come. Especially considering the global political situation with the far right that Australia’s been swept up in.
