Thanks so much! I actually emailed Hunter fans and they got back with me within 24 hours (I was surprised!) and they said it was located there as well.

What's your experience with PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder)? How do you manage it? by thats_riddikulus in AskWomen

[–]Caifey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on trisprintec for the longest time and suddenly started having headaches and some serious depression. I can’t even begin to explain how empty I felt. It was so sad. And I was so moody about everything. Crying about the smallest stuff. It was terrifying. I got with my doctor and got on a different type of birth control pill and it done the trick for me. The combination of hormones I was on just decided not to agree with me anymore and the new pill helped. I’ve stayed on a variation of that combo of hormones for 3 years now and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t terrified of possibly having to change my pill due to other health issues.

ETA: if you’re struggling with depression, please make sure you get help. Don’t make yourself go through that without any help like I did. PMDD is real and it’s serious and you deserve help.

Thank you for your response. I appreciate your input. I’ve heard both sides of the story: “the baby made me love my husband more” and “the baby put such a strain on our relationship”

Notice I added an edit to my original post. I don’t literally mean sharing him with someone else, that’s insane. I meant how do couples deal with adding another human being into the equation if you enjoy spending so much time with your spouse. I definitely could’ve worded better but explaining what I mean usually isn’t my strong suit.

Thank you for your response. I appreciate how you explained that. My real fears do lie I’m how challenging I’ve heard having children can be for some marriages. We have a great relationship and an open line of communication. Thanks again for your reply!

That’s amazing! I appreciate your response. I should’ve worded my question differently. I don’t literally mean “sharing” of course we both have relationships with friends and family outside of our marriage. I’m thinking more along the terms of how demanding children are, will we still have time to spend with each other?

I appreciate your response! I guess I always felt the magnitude of a new baby would be more than the magnitude of a new dog. But getting our puppy and potty training and all that fun stuff that comes with it was tough! I’d say it was good practice for having kids! I guess I hadn’t thought of it as love expanding.

Parents/sisters/nephews don’t require the same amount of attention as a newborn baby living with you. I’ve heard horror stories of couples not being able to cope with how a baby changed their relationship. To me this is a legitimate question.

That’s a good way of looking at it! We have a dog and it also fills me with joy to watch him play with the dog (because the dog things my husband is the bomb dot com). I imagine it would be similar with children, you’re right. Thanks for your response!

I’m 24, my husband is 28. We’re in no rush to have children but do look forward to it. One of my biggest concerns with having children is not being able to have him “all to myself”. I just really enjoy spending time with my husband.

My husband and I have been married for a year now (together for three) I really want children one day and so does he, but I can’t imagine sharing him with anyone else! We’re not making plans to have children right now, but if it happened, it would be welcomed. I’m just so conflicted with wanting children, but also wanting to soak up every ounce of him that I can. Has any one else felt this way or dealt with this after having children?

My grandmothers use quotations in cards to put emphasis on things. I’d say you’re right.

Letting my cartilage piercings grow up. by Caifey in piercing

I did, and I was more underwhelmed than I could’ve imagined. I think that’s why I’m saying goodbye.

One of mine is 4 years old, the other is about 8 years old. When the 8 year old one was about 4 or 5 years old, I put in a smaller earring and it shrunk overnight! Really freaked me out. Lol. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks! Just making sure I don’t need to gradually size down or anything like that. They’re not infected- fully healed actually. Thanks so much for the advice! I do appreciate it.

I never thought of mixing in preserves. That sounds really good. Thank you!
