nerdy & flirty

surprise, surprise, overshare!

I decided to get an IUD, because it’s five years of birth control for $45 (through MIT Med.) I don’t want to get pregnant in the next five years, so it seemed like a great idea, right? Eh. Except for the side effects. I may have to suffer through a six month period…wonder how the guy will react to this…he has white sheets. Maybe, he’ll get used to ketchup with his steak? Totally kidding. For most women, they spot or bleed for three to six months after the procedure. Some bleed heavily, and then other just spot occasionally. I’m hoping that I fall into the latter category.

Oh, and the procedure itself hurts more than getting a Brazillian wax. I’m suffering through cramps galore, wishing MIT called a snow day, and desperately tempted to ask the guy to come over and make me soup. I am still insanely hungry, but that would require walking… I will probably end up using Campus Foods for dinner.

If I have a six month period, I may cry. My normal period lasts three days. (Hence, the lack of blogging and bitching about it.) Therefore, I am not sure how to respond to bleeding this much. On the bright side, after six months, I may not have a period for another 4.5 years!
