yaz and period

[meganmila.livejournal.com]

So I havent got my period yet and I'm almost on my inactive pills on Yaz. I'm like really worried and stuff. I've been having some cramps and diarrhea but nothing has showed up. I did just recently got back on BC and when I first started taking it last year I got spotting but this time nothing. My periods are usually irregular but I should already be getting it now. I did wait a long time after my last period so maybe I screwed up my system or something. Aren't you supposed to get your period on the last line of your BC..ugh.

Colored Orgasms?

[betterbebalboa.livejournal.com]

1. This might sound weird, but for those out there able to orgasm from more than one kind of sensation, do you ever think of your different kinds of orgasms as different colors - almost as a type of synesthesia?

For me, orgasms from nipple stimulation are pink, clitoral orgasms are yellow or orangish, orgasms from penetration are dark red or maroon (g-spot stimulation adds a warm peach tone to the mix), and orgasms from really deep vaginal stimulation are dark purple. When I close my eyes as I'm climaxing, these are the colors I see, and what I associate with certain kinds of pleasure. Is there anyone else out there that feels anything similar?

2. Also... recently, I bought a new vibrator, and through experimentation discovered an entirely new kind of orgasm I could have, a "super-orgasm," one that comes across to me as electric blue. Usually it takes a few minutes of stimulation for me to orgasm, after which I can have multiples, but to have an "electric blue" orgasm, I have to position the vibe in a very specific way, cross my legs, tense my muscles, and really concentrate on the sensations - and it takes me about thirty minutes to get there. But when I do, it's amazing. It rolls into and through my body in this unstoppable way, and I just ride this wave of sensation, shaking. It really feels like some kind of uncontrollable outside force taking over my body, like my body is rising off the bed. Afterward, my downstairs is tingly and over-sensitive.

My question about this is, why is this one kind of orgasm so different from every other kind of orgasm I've experienced? Is this a "real" orgasm, and the other kinds of orgasms I've been having all along "less real?" Does anyone else have normal orgasms as well as "super-orgasms?"

Thank you!

Question: Pain Meds together with Raspberry Leaf Tea?

[disturbedme.livejournal.com]

Hey guys.

I'm wondering if there's anyone out there who has taken Ibuprofen and/or Naproxen and had the raspberry leaf tea together at or around the same time?

Just making sure there's no contraindications for the two together. I don't see why there would be, but I'm just curious if any of you have had them together.

Thanks!

Antibiotics & hormonal birth control

[abrandnewhope.livejournal.com]

I'd appreciate any help I can get regarding this!!

So, I've been prescribed to take an antibiotic (amoxicillin & clavulanate), & there's a warning sticker on it that says it may interfere with HBC. I'm currently on my period, on day 4 of my placebo week-- just to be clear, my taking the antibiotic now isn't going to compromise my bc effectiveness of sex had in the past, right? (which hasn't been recent, it's been 1 week+ since). Stupid question, I know.

But how soon after I stop taking this antibiotic can I relatively safely go back to having unprotected sex again?

Thyroid checks...

[bernthewitch.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone.

I'm going to the doctor in a week or so and I want to ask her to check my thyroid for symptoms which may have been misdiagnosed as PCOS and other things.

What sort of things should I look out for (should numbers be below something or above something, etc)? Is there anything that if she says it I should freak out?

I've been told numerous times throughout my pubescent and adult life that I should get it checked out (thickness at my neck, wonky periods, lethargy, etc) and I've never done so.

So, any advice / comments / help?

Thanks for whatever I can get :-D

uncomfortable uterus/cervix with new IUD

[whatwe-know.livejournal.com]

Hello!

My stats: I am 22, never been pregnant, uterus sounded to 6cm, got a Paragard inserted a week ago and have expelled one in the past. Insertion was Thursday and first (and only) sex was Sunday night. No real pain during sex/orgasm.

My concern: uncomfortable uterus/cervix. I have this icky feeling low in my pelvic area. From what I can tell it seems to be up in my vagina rather than in what I would describe as my belly area, so I am assuming it's coming from my cervix? Anyway it's that kind of feeling that just kind of makes you squirm in discomfort. Not identifiable cramps or spasms, really--more of a dull pain every once in a while punctuated by a more intense, shooting type pain.. I have been taking ibuprofen regularly (pretty much start the day with two 200mg pills and pop one or two more every four hours or so) and it hasn't seemed to help. My heating pad (which I basically have to straddle and wear like a giant pad for it to warm the right spot) helps a bit more. It seems to bother me more when I'm lying down? FWIW I felt basically fine immediately post-insertion and the couple days after save for intermittent cramps, so the feeling seems to have gathered steam over the course of the past 4-5 days.

Has anyone else experienced this? It sucks! I'm just squirming in discomfort all the time! Should I interpret it as a type of cramps or lingering cervix tenderness? Due to the slight risk of infection post-insertion, should I be concerned? Any treatment advice?

I've also been getting blood-tinged mucus since my insertion, which is totally understandable especially since I got the IUD on the second day of my period. However, today the blood stopped being maroon-ish/brown old blood-looking and has turned bright red.

Non-chlorine, slim/junior sized tampons

[ourika.livejournal.com]

Does anyone know a brand that sells non-chlorine, cotton tampons that are junior/slim size? I can find regular and super sized, but I have an extremely low flow now (I use a Mirena), and while I rarely use a tampon, every now and then I wish to use one for one afternoon, and a regular tampon cannot be filled in six to eight hours even on my heaviest day. I have been unable to find a smaller tampon, though.
