Another Am I Pregnant Post

[creativexangst.livejournal.com]

So my partner and I are trying so I know that I want to be pregnant more than anything but I don't think that I am pregnant. So this is more of a "tell me I'm imagining this so I don't get my hopes up". And I know the only way to know is a pregnancy test but there's that disappoint thing again.

So my period isn't due until the 16th. I've had ridiculously sore nipples for at least a week. Maybe two. But they mostly hurt if they're touched. Otherwise I can wear a bra just fine. Also my partner swears up and down that my breast look and feel bigger. They do look different to me but I've always had large breast so its really hard to interperate the difference. I mean. They're attached to me and I see them everyday sooo. Anyway. Are these normal period symptoms? Could I feel like this due to my period being around the bend?

trying to get a diaphragm in Oklahoma, USA

[pigmirror13.livejournal.com]

Hello everyone! I have done a lot of research on (and tried out quite a few) different kinds of birth control, and I've decided that I really want a diaphragm. There's only one problem: I can't find a place that still offers them! My doctor said she could fit me for one, but no pharmacies fill the prescriptions any longer. I've called the Planned Parenthoods in Oklahoma and even the Planned Parenthoods in Texas, but nowhere offers them. The only solution I can come up with is having my doctor fit me for one and then ordering it online, but that kind of seems like a hassle. Does anyone know of anywhere else that might have diaphragms? Thank you!

Shaving down there - advice

[estrellafugaz85.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone had any advice about shaving down below. I used to shave, but ended up with ingrown hairs, painful bumps etc so stopped and just started trimming. Now, I'd really like to be totally clean shaven again but I'm worried that I'll have the same problems. Is there anything I can do to help avoid bumps, cuts and ingrown hairs? Also, what do you guys use to shave? I'm afraid to put normal shaving foam down there because I'm extremely prone to BV (although doing everything 'correctly' doesn't seem to prevent it, either).

I know I could wax but I'm not too keen on that, mostly as I'm a hygiene freak and you never know how clean the salon is, whether they double dip etc.

Horribly painful period!

So I started my period 3 days early(thank you Mother Nature..I wasn't supposed to start til Friday). But it has Ben extremely heavy and painful..and then I just went to the bathroom and it's like I'm passing a lot of blood clots..is this normal?! My periods usually start light..get heavy around day 3..then they are over by dy 5..but I started last night and have been so heavy it's ridiculous.
