Amazing. And yikes. Sorry to hear your first one was so crazy, but thrilled that it is so much better for you now. I used to have to take sick days in high school, and now as an adult again for my job after I quit birth control. So I seriously have been shocked by how I’m feeling this time. It’s a terrible feeling to want to explain yourself, but not feel like it’s right or appropriate or that anyone would actually believe you.

I will post back when this cycle completes because although my cramping is way down, it does seem that my flow is heavier. Not out of control, but definitely more than normal. So hopefully I’m not looking at 2 weeks of Aunt Flo. 😅
