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!

And did not enjoy it/was worried about potential side effects but I got a Mirena shortly after which as an aside I LOVE and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone who does want to be on some form of birth control because it’s the most efficacious and with the fewest side effects. the (very small amount of) hormones are delivered locally directly to the cervix rather than systemically throughout the whole body. I used to have debilitating periods and my IUD set me free from their reign of terror…
That said I’m sure there are ways to regulate your hormonal skin and period issues without being on birth control pills and I would 1000% encourage you to see what it’s like!! 🫶 It’s worth a try if you’re not even worried about preventing pregnancy

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 !!!!

I’m very health conscious so I know I should probably worry about the possible long-term effects of hormonal birth control but I just can’t bring myself to care because it’s too awesome being freed from the hell of my biology with no thought or effort required on my part

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.
