So the doctor told me my irregular periods are because I’m fat without even examining me. He only decided to send me for ultrasound this Friday as an after thought. Pissed off.

New Jersey has created, on its government website, a whole side of the site just for periods. Which it was RUNNING ADS FOR.

So not only have they acknowledged the existence of and lacking care for menstrual health and issues (which in itself is a big win), they’ve also gathered medical information and resources about it, linked to helpful organizations around the state or beyond, made it openly accessible in one online location, and then SPENT ACTUAL MONEY to advertise it so people with periods notice and can actually learn anything about periods for perhaps the first time.

It’s got:

••• What is normal and what is not normal when it comes to menstruation and menstrual pain

••• Period issues, including PMS and PMDD (which people are often gaslit about, especially by male-sex people and scientists), irregular periods, paused periods, heavy periods, period pain, ovarian cysts, fibroids, PCOS, endometriosis, and toxic shock syndrome (and what, other than tampons, can cause it)

••• How periods interact with fertility and pregnancy

••• Introductory info for teens and prepubescent kids (others too) nervous about or still inexperienced with periods, like what to expect, how to manage, what period products are out there, how to choose them, and what a first gyno visit is like

Plus, they include Planned Parenthood as one of their three official healthcare resources (alongside the state health insurance marketplace and NJ Medicaid) and, amongst their resources, a newer NJ organization looking to provide accessible period care for all (including, from what I can tell, trans men, nonbinary people, etc. who menstruate).

This is hopeful news (especially these days, with sexism surging legally and culturally, offline and online), but the website also has a lot of potentially useful, simple info for anyone with periods, not just NJ residents. So if you need help or introductory info, maybe check it out.

Female Infertility: The Causes and Signs of Infertility in Women

In the realm of reproductive health, the journey towards parenthood can be intricate and sometimes laden with challenges. One such challenge that affects numerous couples is female infertility. This condition, characterized by the inability to conceive after a year of trying with unprotected intercourse, can cast a shadow of uncertainty over the dream of starting a family. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the causes and signs of female infertility, shedding light on the factors that influence this complex and deeply personal experience.

Understanding female infertility

Defining Infertility: Infertility is a term that encompasses the inability to achieve a successful pregnancy despite active efforts and a year of unprotected sexual intercourse. It's important to note that infertility doesn't solely pertain to the inability to conceive; it can also involve recurrent miscarriages, creating a cycle of emotional and physical challenges.

Contributing Factors: A myriad of factors can contribute to female infertility. These factors span from age-related changes to underlying medical conditions, hormone imbalances, and lifestyle influences. Understanding these potential causes is essential for those seeking answers and solutions on their journey to parenthood.

Recognizing the Signs of Infertility

Abnormal Cycles: One of the earliest indicators of potential fertility issues lies in menstrual irregularities. Experiencing excess or reduced bleeding during periods could point towards hormonal imbalances or other reproductive concerns that might affect conception.

Irregular Time Frames: The variability in the length of menstrual cycles, where the number of days between each menstruation fluctuates, can indicate potential hormonal disruptions or issues related to ovulation.

Painful Periods: The presence of intense menstrual cramps, pelvic pain, and lower back discomfort could signify underlying conditions such as endometriosis or other reproductive health challenges that impact fertility.

Alterations in Sexual Desire: Hormonal imbalances can affect sexual desire and drive. A noticeable change in libido could potentially point to reproductive health concerns that warrant attention.

Hair Loss and Thinning Hair: While not often discussed, unexplained hair loss or thinning hair might be linked to hormonal imbalances that affect the overall health of the reproductive system.

Weight Gain: Significant and unexplained weight gain could disrupt hormonal equilibrium, potentially affecting ovulation and fertility. Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial not only for overall well-being but also for reproductive health.

Identifying the Root Causes

Fallopian Tube Damage: The fallopian tubes play a vital role in the journey of an egg from the ovaries to the uterus. Damage to these tubes, often caused by conditions like pelvic infections and endometriosis, can hinder the egg-sperm interaction necessary for conception.

Hormonal Imbalances: Hormones orchestrate the complex symphony of ovulation, and any disruption can impact fertility. Absence of egg release and thickening of the uterine lining can interfere with successful conception.

Cervical Issues: Cervical challenges, such as excessive mucus production or scarring from prior surgeries, can create a barrier that prevents sperm from reaching the egg, hindering the fertilization process.

Epileptic Challenges: A study highlights the increased likelihood of reproductive problems and infertility among female epileptics. Epileptic seizures can lead to hormonal fluctuations that disrupt the regulation of reproductive hormones, potentially impacting the menstrual cycle and fertility.

How to Avoid Female Infertility and Achieve Success

During the challenges posed by female infertility, there is hope. Advances in medical science, coupled with a holistic approach to reproductive health, empower individuals and couples to navigate this journey with knowledge and determination. Seeking timely medical advice, considering fertility treatments, and addressing underlying health concerns can all contribute to overcoming infertility hurdles. Remember, the journey towards parenthood is unique for each individual and couple. By understanding the signs and potential causes of female infertility, you're taking a proactive step towards informed decision-making and seeking appropriate medical care.

Oh and I wanted to mention..... I emailed my OBGYN to ask about getting a bisalp (sterilization)..... It dawned on me that there’s no reason I can’t be someone who does that, I don’t know why I’ve always just kind of ruled it out in my head. But at this point I’m 32 and really don’t want kids and want them less everyday. On the super miniscule off chance I did start wanting kids, I’d want to adopt a kid at least like 5 years old. But that’s not even gonna happen lol. 

I got Paragard this past March and my period’s been weird. It’s not longer or heavier like they say is common, and it took 6 weeks to get my period after getting it inserted. The next period took almost 5 weeks, so I thought things were normalizing, but now I’m still waiting for my 3rd period. Tomorrow will be 7 weeks. I did a pregnancy test just in case and it was negative. I’m not complaining about less frequent periods but it’s weird lol. So I included a question about all this when I emailed my OBGYN. But it’s like, why am I even bothering dealing with this stuff? I mean the IUD is super convenient and is working out great for me, but why not just make it the most convenient and permanent. And even if I do live in California and feel secure in my abortion rights at the moment, this Roe v. Wade stuff scares me. You never know lately.

Since having that thought and starting to entertain the idea, I’m only getting more excited and more sure. I just need to wait until at least 2023 when I get different insurance because I picked a shitty plan this year lol... But I’m sure it’ll still cost money so this just gives me time to save, as well as to stew on it and be positive about my decision.

the struggle is real :,))

god, after waiting for the most inconvenient day of my entire month:

[oatmealexistentialism]

Heads up. If your period is really heavy and lasts a long time or is irregular… go to the doctor. Or gynecologist. Tell them.

I just got diagnosed with PCOS and before about 2 months ago I had never heard of it. And neither had my friends or even some of my coworkers. Even though it’s Soooo common.

Not getting it managed can lead to some very serious repercussions such as Diabetes and Cancer.

On the lesser end you go through a lot of pain when it’s not being managed. My entire life i thought it was normal to have irregular periods. Turns out it’s ✨Not✨.

When I got into college I had my period for 5 months straight. I was losing hair, I was stressed, depressed, you fucking name it. My doctor gave me a pain killer and said to lose some weight. And that’s all he did.

Years later this shit starts getting really really bad so I decide- fuck it- gynecologist time. Did I want to go? Fuck. No.

But I’m glad I did because turns out my doctor screwed me over. Causing me pain and potentially fatal or life altering illnesses. So go to your gynecologist office. Or at the very least go to a doctor. And if they brush you off with some fat phobic bullshit- get a second opinion. Cuuuuuuz shit sucks and learning to manage PCOS has helped in a lot of aspects In my life I had no idea was being affected 🤷🏽‍♀️

This can be caused by physical reasons such as wrong eating patterns, for example, eating too much junk food, lack of exercise, obesity, improper sleeping patterns as well as mental reasons such as stress, anxiety, and depression. Apart from this, family history can also cause PCOS.…

Amhennoreha recovery diaries: happily every after?

After hoping and praying for 9 years that my period would come back, I have now been menstruating for a whole 2 weeks.

Irony is a cruel, cruel mistress.

However, I am not completely panicking just yet. As research would suggest that due to my lack of ovulation, the uterine lining has been building, and building, and building without any release for months. Therefore, this is the first time it's managed to get a proper exit, so there is a bit of a longe cue.

So I am hoping that it is just a case of "balancing out" for my hormones, and soon I will be more regular.

But I am still over joyed to be ovulating again!

Having an inconsistent uterus is wild because you you’ll be just going along living your life and then all of a sudden there is a PAIN in your stomach and you go through your checklist and it’s not a stomach ache pain or a sickness pain…

And then you’re like OHHHH and several days of feeling sore and having quick access to your emotions makes sense
