Like if you ovulate less often than you would like you can’t get on a pill or device that will prevent endometrial overgrowth (cancer risk) and also make you more fertile.

I wanted something long term, but with my pcos and skin issues, my doctors (derm. and obgyn) have recommended something with estrogen instead of progesterone only.  And there is no true long term bc with estrogen, so this is what I can work with.  Which overall is fine.  I just hate having to wait every month for the next ring to arrive.  I am on an auto renewal, but every time I also request it myself because I’m worried it won’t get here in time and then I’ll be out of luck, putting it in late, and having to use a back up method for a week.

We have a vacation coming up in the summer and it appears that I’ll be on my removal week while we are there.  I’m planning to just keep it in for that week (to hopefully stop my period) and then the following week when we return instead of having an off week I will immediately put in the new one.  This should be fine because normally the ring would be out...so it’s not like I’m removing it early and losing the hormones, or keeping it in way too long and it will be no longer effective.  I am just replacing my off week with one more week of the ring. 

The other thing I’m worried about is my new one getting delivered while we’re away.  We have a house sitter, so she could pick it up, but on ring delivery days I am so anxious and checking for it constantly, bc I don’t want it sitting outside in the Texas heat.  Maybe I can request it to come earlier, or possibly get my next 3 at the same time and keep the extras in the fridge.

Phone randomly died at just over 3 years old. Very disappointed bc I take good care of my things and there was no warning of any issue. Hundreds of photos not backed up to cloud may be lost for good and I am not happy about it. I was running out of room on my cloud so turned off auto backup a whole back. I am regretting it now.

I switched from an IUD to a ring birth control and it feels like it was almost too easy to insert? Like I read the instructions, folded it in half and stuck it up there (sorry) and like, it's in, I can't feel anything, so I guess it's where it's supposed to be? I know it just needs to be fully in there to be effective but it just seems like, not enough? Glad to be off of the IUD though, I don't think it agreed with my skin.

I was supposed to work at the branch tomorrow but due to plummetting temperatures and lots of overnight freezing rain and sleet, branch is closed so I get a snow day.

I rode 5 times last week and felt so good about how Nav and I have been doing but this week with the cold temperatures and possible visit from family I may only get out there once.

Good news! Found the birth control i need

Bad news! It costs over 50$ and you need to buy a new one monthly.

Im going to be opening art commissions soon. Pls consider buying or boosting. Anything helps. Pms and period dysphoria is so much for me that i don't know how much more i can take and my mom will not listen to me.

I will draw anything that isnt immoral. I can do it for about 15$ but I'm willing to go down to 10$ if i can't get any buyers. I can do 5$ sketches too. Im rlly desperate.

“Why did women choose to use NuvaRing? Court documents filed against Merck state that since the mid-1990s there have been more than 10 studies suggesting that third-generation progestins, including the one used in NuvaRing, are approximately twice as likely to cause blood clots as those used in other birth-control devices that have an earlier form of progestin. A blood clot that blocks a vein is known as a venous thromboembolism (VTE). VTEs can occur in any vein, but they most often appear in the legs. They can also break off and travel to the lungs. That’s what happened to Megan—and to Erika too. A 2012 study published in B.M.J. (British Medical Journal) found that vaginal rings carry a 90 percent greater risk of VTE than birth-control pills with earlier forms of progestin. (The report states that in any given year, out of 10,000 women who are not using a hormonal contraceptive, an average of 2.1 would suffer a VTE. For a woman using a vaginal ring, that risk increases 6.5 times.) A 2011 F.D.A. report found that rings could increase that risk by 56 percent. According to the lawsuits, in 2007 Organon, the Dutch pharmaceutical company that created NuvaRing, completed a study that showed a 1.6-times increased risk, but that study didn’t have enough participants to meet clinical standards. (Referencing earlier studies, Merck responds, “The safety and efficacy of NuvaRing were originally established in clinical trials involving more than 3,700 women.”)

I went to the NuvaRing Web site to see how Merck had dealt with what was clearly well-documented risk. I found the usual disclaimers and warnings regarding heart attacks, strokes, and smoking. I read, “The risk of getting blood clots may be greater with the type of progestin in NuvaRing than with some other progestins in certain low-dose birth control pills.” What did Merck mean by saying the risk “may be greater”? Would a young woman use NuvaRing if she knew that the F.D.A. had come up with an increased risk of 56 percent? The number of women affected appeared to be in the thousands, and there were millions of users.

The same dilemma drove Karen Langhart, who spent the days after her daughter’s death in an impenetrable fog, to read every research report she could find on the Internet. She immediately ran into a maze of contradictions and allegations. Most drug companies have become huge marketing machines, advertising drugs with sometimes inadequate warnings of side effects. At Merck, the 2012 marketing-and-administration budget was 50 percent larger than the budget for research and development.

Got prescribed a refrigerated vagina disk I have to change once a month so I don’t feel like unaliving myself anymore.
