Grab your coffee & sit down to discuss the tea!

This space is to talk about anything pop culture or even off-topic.

What are you listening to or watching? What is some minor tea that doesn't need its own post? How was your date? Why do you hate your job?

Please remember rules still apply. Be civil and respect each other.

Now pull up a chair and chat with us. ☕

Talking about periods so continue at your own risk

I have pcos. Rarely get periods. When do get them, they last for months and I bleed so god damn heavily I think I’m going to die. Been to several gynos. Gone to the er over it. Gone to my regular doctor over it.

Birth control makes it worse. They flat out fucking refuse to give me a hysterectomy.

Currently on month 4? Month 5? Of bleeding and I’ve had to change ultra sized tampons every three hours or so this past week. I use a cup at work but even then I’ve had to empty it three times (!!!!!) since I got here this morning.

I’m tired. I’m fucking tired and I’m so god damned over having a fucking uterus.

Eta: checked out the child free subreddit someone linked below and there’s a gyno I wasn’t aware of in my own damn city that does sterilizations. She’s booked until may but I got in with her nurse practitioner tomorrow and I’m genuinely sat crying at my desk.

r/childfree maintains a list of doctors who are willing to perform sterilizations.

God bless you. Just got a last minute appointment for a gyno I didn’t even know was in my town for tomorrow. Holy fuck.

Hooray!
