science and medicine has progressed enough to the point where women can opt to stop having periods. i’ve had two hormonal IUDs over the course of 8 years now, and therefore haven’t had a period in 8 years. no cramps. no heating pads. no cravings. no tampons. nothing.
every womens body is different and i can’t promise everyone will have the same experience ive had with my IUDs. but if your periods suck like mine did, it can’t hurt to ask a doctor ab going on some sort of HRT/birth control. why are we still letting our uteruses dictate and manage our lives for one week out of every month? (for some, like myself at one point, well over just one week)
not having a period is great! it’s freeing!!!!! i feel as if i can put my personhood and identity first, and not sacrifice any sort of happiness or autonomy to my uterus!

It changed my loife by freeing me from the shackles of my hormonal cycle (and fear of pregnancy) with no side effects and no medication management required… I used to have HORRIFIC debilitating periods and it’s not something I have to live with or even think about anymore. I’m dreading getting mine replaced because my first insertion was kind of a nightmare but it was worth it!! And I’m hoping for a better experience this time around with a different provider 🤞

after having an ovarian cyst for a while and finding out 4 months later that THATS why I was feeling deranged and horrible all the time I can’t get this thought (truth) out of my head — hormones are kind of everything! period cycles interest me so much now in a way they didn’t before bc I can clearly see the effects of them on our psyches/energy. for example I can always tell when a friend of mine is ovulating or PMSing. now I’m 24/7 yapping about menstruation/women’s health to all my friends.. or anyone who will listen really. mind-body connection fr fr
OUT: thinking that asking about periods is rude; men Tiptoeing around the subject of periods; discounting what hormones do to our bodies and minds !!!!

for years i tried to find relief until i just couldn’t take it anymore and went to the gyno looking for answers. they put me on a birth control patch that i change once a week with one week having no patch (and then comes the period that week) and it‘s like night and day. my period’s a little longer but the pain is almost completely gone and my PMS symptoms are almost nonexistent. i’m so happy with it so i definitely recommend!!

she’s timelessly hilarious and witty. i stream the show on peacock and put it on during the day while doing chores and such. i’ve shocked myself by laughing out loud at times, who knew something so dated could be so effortlessly goofy. love her so much.
