Is there a reason you opted not to go back to the salon for the free removal?

Yeah it is 30 minutes away and I would not be able to get there until Saturday. I could have lasted my my nails were getting to the point of being un-manicured. Next time I will go back. The nail tech works with my husband and said I would be able to remove them myself. She made it sound easy. Thanks N3o.

I hope you will answer.

I feel fine mentally. Therapy a couple of years ago was the best. However, I have always had a short fuse which I can control in a positive way (now). My anger issues stem from previously unrecognized depression. I tend to have more "male"symptoms. Depression in men may cause them to be irritable, aggressive, or hostile.

I wonder if it would be worth discontinuing the pill just to see what affect it has on me. I spoke to my gyno in Feb about this and she said I could continue LoEstrin into menopause. A non hormonal IUD does not appeal to me due to the months of heavy bleeding and cramping. I do not want to get a tubal ligation because I fear that my heavy bleeding and heavy cramps will return as they have when I have stopped the pill before. That was at least 10 years ago.

I am not unhappy with the pill so I am stuck in a a self created pickle. I don't like condoms. I have a suspicion our sex life might decline due to my anxiety of becoming pregnant.

Hmmm...are you thinking of stopping the pill purely from a curiosity perspective, i.e. to see what will happen?? If so, it's entirely possible that when you go off the pill your bad cramps and heavy bleeding will return. Are you willing to take that risk?
If your gyno says that it's safe for you to be on the pill you're currently on until you reach menopause, then why change what you're doing??

I guess my attitude stems from me having so many horrible problems with all different types of contraceptives, and after years and years of bad reactions to diffferent products I've finally found one that works relatively well for me, so I ain't discontinuing this particular pill until I'm planning to get preggers!! :D

This is the only reason i'm going off the pill. I was diagnosed with endometriosis when i was 15 (1992), and have had ongoing issues with it, including 4 operations to remove retrograde endometrium in various parts of my abdomen. Interestingly, in the last 2 weeks, i have lost a little weight, my skin is fine, i just feel a bit out of sorts. In saying aaall of that - i could just still be on a bit of a downer after the wedding/honeymoon high? I'm not sure - i do know that i'm sure looking forward to a small break over Christmas ;)

I'm also waiting for a couple of menstrual cycles so i can track it more easily - this won't have a major effect on the trying to get pregnant, though - I would rather it be a more organic process than that, unless as a last resort, we have to treat the process in a more clinical manner (due to the endo). Cross fingers we don't! :) It's exciting, though, coming off the pill for this reason; i'm a little scared about the potential dysmennhorea, but in saying that, i was still cramping like crazy at times *when* i was on the pill. I'm really just going to try not to think about it and focus on the positives. We're both really excited to see how this all turns out! :D
 
^^ I'm really excited for you both as well hun! You'll have to keep us updated :) <3

Exactly why I haven't done it yet. I have been thinking about it all year.
The "pros" are unknown which makes it harder to just stop the pill. I hear stories about women who feel better without hormones.
The cons would be heavy cramping and periods, having to use condoms, worrying about pregnancy...yuck.

I am going to stay on it. The possible benefits are not clear.
I am so flaky ;)

welp, i was on Seasonique (which was awesome having four ultra light periods a year) when my annual came back abnormal and i eventually needed a LEEP. long story short my cervix closed shut due to a combination of the procedure and my cervix not dilating on a monthly basis due to the Seasonique. twice i had a period and basically bled inside myself. anyway, it took 8 months for the doctors to take me seriously and give me an ultrasound since cervical stenosis is pretty rare.

after a botched surgery where they had to forcefully dilate my cervix, i consulted my new and improved doctor and we agreed to "give my body a break" from BCP so my cervix wouldn't close again. i'd thought i'd get back on BCP in December but like i said, i feel so much better now that i'm off. i posted a thread in SLR about fertility awareness methods that explains a bit further.
 
^^ That is really good that you evetually came to a resolution but it totally sucks that it took so much hassle and a botched procedure to get there.
Hooray for new and improved doctors!

Yay! I just met a girl who cuts hair! I'm gonna try to get into see her for a cut and dye in January!

I only just saw this, yay! What style/colour are you getting??
 
^I don't know.....can't decide.

I've thought about just having it layered a bit and keeping some length-
I've thought of an inverted bob again...........
I've been thinking of dark brown with either red or purple streaks...........
I'm indecisive.
I almost posted in here earlier to ask what you guys thought would look best with my face..........
Hmmmmmm I just don't know.
 
I like going to a hairdresser and telling them the basic length I want it and let them have fun. :)
 
'Posa- Even with the curliness/waviness? I'm just afraid that on rainy days , it might not hold any shape I give it..........That is my down side to that choice.........but I think it would be good to get my hair healthy......??? Hmmmmmm............
Chrissie- She was here and I asked her what she thought and she was like "I could do anything you want" and I was trying to get her to give her opinion but the only thing she said was that the streaks would be fine and to do demi permanent b/c its better for my hair.
But nothing on shape or cut....... :\

You sound like me! I always tell my hair-dresser the same thing - "I'm bored, do what you like, but make sure I look beautiful at the end of the process". =D

I went for the Big Chop earlier this year and while my hair wasn't in bad shape to start with, I've noticed it's feeling more bouncy and I'm not getting any split-ends what-so-ever.

If you're worried about frizziness or the curl revolting against how you want to style it, I'd just invest in some products. There's plenty on the market that don't weight your hair down but will give it some texture and control. :)

I had my hair cut 2 years ago - from must above my waist to just above my shoulders - i LOVED it - the curl (if cut/thinned right) can be really lovely - i just used bobby pins to loosely pin it back and it was a treat - i went even shorter - almost a boy cut up the back with a severely concaved bob - which i loved, but it does require upkeep every 1-2 days.

I'm growing my hair out a little, and am considering a fringe for the first time since i was 7 years old. I have similar concerns, as my hair is curly (it would ringlet even when it was at its longest *it looked like old telephone cord lol) so i want to talk to my hairdresser to see what kind of fringe (if any) i could get away with. One thing i've been told is that you can get away with just washing your fringe for a few days if you feel a bit lazy, lol :D

Keep us posted, i can't wait to see the results!
 
I'm thinking about going in today or tomorrow.............
I'm SO SO nervous.
I've decided to go with the long bob- And I will have to wait until next month or something to dye it the way I want.....I may just do dark dark brown later this month.............
We will see how it goes.
Hopefully I don't lose the nerve.
 
^ the good thing is that it's hair and it grows back. :) plus, you have such a lovely face, i think you could work the bald head, à la Natalie Portman. however, i'm sure the long bob will be very befitting.

Well, not such a LONG bob but here is the cut-


(repost from TDS)

Dying it will be coming soon..........
I'm going black with either red, purple or blue streaks...........
I am SUPER excited for that part!! :)

Thanks for the support and encouragement guys!
I probably wouldn't have had the balls to do it without people saying DO IT!:)
 
I soooo need to have a girls day, The only fucked up thing is..... I dont have any friends or family where I live in Southern California. I would be willing to open my condo up to a
make-over party. Manipedis and facials (and not the kind the guys like to give us) LOL. And if you are a professional and wanna come charge for your services I think that would be cool to. So what do you ladies in Southern California think? Anyone insterested in doing this maybe after the holidays? Let me know.

Me and my BL Girls in the SouthEast we used to do this all the time. I miss it.

*If you want it - it can be done*
