I am trying to figure out what my options are to permentally stop my period.
I first heard of hysterectomy but then I saw lots of risks like dementia heat flashes and more.
I have also heard of a type of ablation where they destroy the lining in the uterus.
It just is kinda freaky what things could go wrong. I never wanted a period, as a kid I knew I wasn't a girl, but I knew I wasn't a boy, so I decided I had to be a girl, but I felt I wasn't girl enough for all the puberty things I had been told about. When puberty happened my world fell apart.
I'm still too young for any surgery right now, but I feel like I need to better know my options. I want to make the right decision. I want to stop my menstruation cycle permentally, with as few negative side effects as possible.
If any of you have feedback or could tell me about your experiences, I would love to hear it.
I have had a hysterectomy and lemme tell y’all smthn real quick about my experience.
Pros:
No babies.
No period.
Less dysphoria.
Better mental health literally immediately.
Cons:
No drinking/smoking for set amount of time each. (I use cbd for pain and that is not allowed during Big Pain Meds, after which I can have supplements but not carts)
No sexual anything for set amount of time (both external and internal for different amounts of time).
Body requires so much fucking calories and liquids. Get high calorie food and drinks. You will thank me. It’s annoying how often I have to eat.
For the first 24 hours after discharge I could feel the empty space where the removed tissue once resided. This is a wild experience as my body attempts to adjust to the new space and everything fights to take up as much of it as possible, as if they ascribe to Manifest Destiny.
Currently (day 19) suffering the third day of my belly button nerve being triggered from the inside by my shifting organs. This feels like I still have the ghost of my umbilical chord attached and it’s attempting to pierce me and suck out my insides but it hasn’t figured out the sucking thing yet, as well as it’s made of ghost so it’s just… touching the nerves in a ghostly way. Tartarus hath found me before my soul has left mine body and teases me with what is yet to come.
Farting. So much farting. Also, constipation is the worst. Take your anti constipation stuff. It’s not worth shitting rocks.
Will update with more Fun Facts as they come!
Highlights and Challenges of Living Abroad
Traveling the world can have both its wonderful and horrible moments. One of the main reasons to travel especially for those adventure-types like me is to learn about cultures, people, history, languages and customs. Aside from assimilation, being a foreigner is figuring out to fit in often uncomfortable situations that can potentially lead to a well-rounded perspective of that country or how you view life in general. It’s a lot of work but worth it if you can get past your fears and frustrations.
My most recent adventure was to Buenos Aires, Argentina. I had visited this bustling South American city almost seven years ago and although it was familiar, a lot had change despite the obvious (i.e. technology). However, this time I was staying for a extended period of time, between 2-3 months, volunteering with an NGO on their communications team maintaining their blog among other things. Luckily, much of my work was flexible in that I could present ideas to the team and given the green light to write about anything. But through this freedom came with some challenges. So below is a list of “Things I Won’t/Will Miss about Buenos Aires”:
Won’t: The ‘sh’ in replace of ‘ll’ pronunciation in Spanish - what can I say, it was pet peeve!
Will: All you can eat gelato everywhere, even by delivery!
Won’t: Tiled sidewalks - if you stepped on a loose tile, oftentimes you would end up getting a splash of dirty water up your legs.
Will: Nightlife - I mean endless partying seven days a week into the early hours of the AM (i.e. 7AM), that’s what I’m talking about!
Won’t: Little to no vegetables with your meal - when you go out, plan to get your fill of meat, carbs and booze but nothing healthy.
Will: The relaxed and laid back vibe - the people seem to be happier and more content with doing less which was easy to shadow without feeling guilty.
Won’t: Blue vs. Black market - if you are a tourist you are going to get screwed either way but if it matters that much to you remember to bring cash (i.e. USD).
Will: Malbec wine - nuff said!
Won’t: Short men - I’m a 5′ 7″ female and barely met anyone who were my height or taller, not a big deal but girls, you’ve been warned!
Will: Friendly, not creepy taxi drivers
Won’t: Super sweet and running consistency of yogurt - I might as well drink it and that’s not my version of yogurt (i.e. I prefer Greek style, thick).
Will: Tango - both the dance and music!
Won’t: Not enough parks - some parks had exercise equipment and places to sit but not much room to run around or play a game of futbol without safety issues.
Will: Kiosks - they have everything and are plenty of them all over the city open late!
Won’t: Need to know where you’re going when you get on a bus - they calculate your fare by this information but for a tourist who doesn’t speak the language makes it all that more challenging.
Will: Recoleta and San Telmo - out of all the barrios (neighborhoods) in BsAs, I will missed these two the most!
