TMI Tuesday 4-28-15

[abenson3]

I have so much cervical mucus it's not even funny. And that's also one of my tell tale signs of being pregnant and we have been playing fast and loose with BC, so... Update in a few days?

[bookworm87]

I'm four months post partum (today actually, yay 4 month birthday!) and I still have hemorrhoids and trouble pooping. Sigh. I dread being pregnant again because it really took a toll on my body this time.

[seerealsky]

I decided to boycott shaving for a spell. Razors are expensive and I'm not getting laid anyhow thanks to Mirena, so I can look like a wookie. Swimsuit season just got very interesting, and I give no fucks.

[jesster88]

I had my annual pap smear this morning and oh my goodness it hurt so much more 4 months post partem. I barely even felt it prepregnancy.

Ugh. No fun. I had to have a pap and a colposcopy with cervical biopsy and cauterizing a few weeks ago. I was so uncomfortable I just started talking a mile a minute to try to distract myself!

boo!

[bookworm87]

Yesterday, I came in was like "Omg! I was just thinking that it is only about 11 months til we start thinking about conceiving #2! Time is really flying by!" And my husband goes "Only 11 months until I get guaranteed sex again! Time can't fly fast enough!" Hehe. He's a trooper.

Thank you...the results weren't favorable, unfortunately. They found some precancerous cells. I'll be going back in July for another colposcopy/biopsy to see how/if they've changed and to develop a plan from there. From what I've read, it seems very treatable if caught early, so I'm hoping for low-level intervention that won't impact my fertility. Just trying to stay positive and not think too much about it. It's beyond my control now!

You're a strong mama!!! I'll be thinking of you and hoping for the best. We're here for you!!!

[birch113]

I'm 98% sure I'm not showering tonight, which means I'm going to work unshowered tomorrow.

[nannygoat]

mgk207, I'll definitely be thinking of you as well! Not something you want to have to deal with. Here's to hoping for everything to turn out ok!

Me too! Our babies are birthday buddy's. Also still have hemorrhoids sigh

[nannygoat]

I just pulled a wad of hair out of my shower drain that I swear should've had a heartbeat! *gag*

[jesster88]

mgk207 Praying for your treatment. I'm am glad that your dr caught it early.

[path75]

This is tmi, I have a sore on my upper outer thigh just below my butt check. It was swollen and has not healed in a week. I went in today was told it was celuitis (spelling? ) and the doctor had to drain the sore and pack with antiseptic cloth. I am on 2 antibiotics, 8 pills a day. I felt so gross and disgusted but it wont go away on its own. Hopefully it will heal quick.

I've heard that cellulitis is super painful. I hope you have a speedy recovery!

I have done this a couple times. Sleep won over the shower.

[samantha24]

mgk207 I hope catching it early makes everything turn out ok for you.

Eta: My tmi I haven't washed my hair since last Tuesday. I shower every night but don't want to waste precious sleep time washing my hair. Good thing I'm a SAHM so only DH has to see it.

Ouch ! I hope you heal quickly !

I'm starting to get a lot more cm. I hope that doesn't mean AF is on her way!! I'm totally loving not having to worry about it.

Um... I usually go to work unshowered. I shower every four days or so unless I work out or get otherwise gross for some reason. It is so much better on my skin and hair... I just usually don't admit it to too many people! Americans are so obsessed with being clean that I think we do more harm than good.

You guys are all so sweet. I honestly didn't mean to put it out there to garner sympathy, but I am humbled by your kindness. I don't expect it'll be a big deal, but I will keep you posted after my next appointment! xoxo

I love how supportive this board is. my pap (which they did 8 weeks pp, seems silly) the result came back abnormal which is common if you have infection or inflammation (um hello?) and hpv came back negative which they consider the overall test to be negative. Too bad I was still freaking out. Lots of positive thoughts your way!

Wow...I'm impressed. My hair would be a disaster if I went that long. Good for you if it works for you, though!

My hair is a grease ball after 12 hours, and my vag feels dirty after a day haha. But I agree if it works for you go for it !

I usually only shower on the days I need to wash my hair which is usually every 2 days. If I don't shower, I bathe. I don't like to go to bed without being clean.

I always used to have to shower every night before bed because I hated going to bed "dirty", too. And by used to I mean up until about a week ago. I feel kind of disgusting but I don't have help until after 7 most nights and I choose sleep.

I go to work unshowered more times a week than I'd like to admit. Priorities in this house.. Sleep, food, shower. It's rare I get all 3 lol

I pretty much only get a shower every other night lately. As far as I know, nobody notices at work.

[karebear2]

My farts are so deadly after the lactation cookies.

[karebear2]

mgk207 I'm sorry about your diagnosis. I do hope it is easy to treat and glad it's caught early. Thoughts and prayers for your good health and fertility

Thank you very much. I really appreciate the support!

Praying for the best possible outcome. If it helps my good friend went through the same and had a LEEP procedure done. The abnormal cells were removed and she went on to have 2 more kids without complications.

[bookworm87]

mgk207 So sorry about your bad test. I've heard nothing but positive stories from people who caught abnormalities during the Pap smear early so I'm definitely hopeful that you will get a good plan of action in July!! This is why we do Pap smears regularly despite the unpleasantness! Good luck and keep us updated once you find out what your plan is!
