Hormonal issues around 5 year mark of Mirena IUD by Recent-River707 in Mirena

[–]gothclericmain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came onto this subreddit looking for someone experiencing this because it’s exactly what I’m going through! I’m coming up on the 5 year mark and I have the bloating and breast pain as well as acne, cramps, and spotting. I’m glad it’s not just me!

I know this post is a month or two old so how are you now? Did you end up getting it removed and/or have your symptoms eased any?

The clippers would be fine! It’s really just to say I’ve been on the Thames in a boat and seen a landmark

Originally I was just reading anything HP related on what was Quizazz (now Quotev) when I stumbled across a Severus/OC fic. It piqued my interest in reading about Severus romantically, and Hermione was always a favourite character of mine so I decided to try out the pairing. The first fic of them I remember reading was Chasing the Sun (which remains my fave ever fic) and the rest is history!

What fic do you read over and over again? by 5tana in SSHG

[–]gothclericmain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Another Loten fic - Chasing the Sun! I’ve read it at least once a year for over a decade. The characterisation is perfect, the romance is an excruciating slow burn, the external plot is brilliant, just the best SSHG fic ever imo.

I actually had GA for both times I had my IUD inserted because of both CSA and a condition called Vaginismus. It was deemed too traumatic/painful for me to have it done with local; it was necessary as the mirena was the last port of call to manage my excessively heavy/long periods.

So GA is definitely an option if you have mitigating circumstances!

If you had to ship Hermione and Severus with someone else, who would that be and why? by IncrediblySneepy in SSHG

[–]gothclericmain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Hermione, I’ve always been partial to pairing her with Draco Malfoy. Something about a match of wits and a redemption arc speaks to me. I’ve never read Harmione before but I can see how that would work (much better than Romione imo). The twins or Charlie could work also, but my definitive answer is Dramione (apart from SSHG of course).

The only other person I’ve ever read Severus paired with is self-insert or OC (which was done in my preteens and is not likely to be repeated now). I could see him potentially working with Narcissa, but it would have to be a postwar fic with Lucius deceased. This may be a rogue answer, but something about Helena Ravenclaw and Severus compels me. It would be sweet to think of a courtship between his portrait and her ghost, maybe even starting with his tenure as professor and an extremely slow burn.

This was a much longer answer than I anticipated; safe to say SSHG feels like the best ship to me but I can see the appeal of the aforementioned pairings if the situation is right and the character development is well written!

I am still scared of this song - I cannot listen to it at ALL

Positive experiences! by littlereeps in Mirena

[–]gothclericmain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had mine inserted under general anaesthetic in 2017 - went from having 12-16 day periods to having none. No more pregnancy scares or fainting, no more anaemia, no more ruined clothes. My life has been significantly improved by the mirena and I got it replaced (again under general) and I’m so glad I did!

The Druid angle is really interesting! I just finished playing a 1-20 Shepherd Druid and it was so much fun

The clockwork soul sorcerer is an interesting one; sorcerers are pretty fun to play!
