@DougBurgum@SenKevinCramer@SenJohnHoeven @RepArmstrongND - & “like that” Aunt Flo’s gone. Didn’t try my new period underwear. Will have to next month. My uterus might not have updates for a bit but I will look for others’ news ‘cause I know you are worried about them all.
Day 1: period started up again. Second one this month. Looks like I won’t have a break from the allergic reaction at all. Bleeding heavy blood clots have to empty my diva cup every two hours. @GOP@MikeDeWine@ohiogop@GregAbbott_TX@GOP@SenateGOP@HouseGOP
@DougBurgum@SenJohnHoeven@SenKevinCramer @RepArmstrongND Uterus update for today! Blood has lightened in color but is full of a lot more cloths. Back is fine but head feels like you all came over and bashed it with a rock. 🤕
@RepArmstrongND - Seriously? I know that you think you own my uterus but really?
No birth control, no sex since you are already taking away choice. Signed uteruses everywhere.
Today the House voted on a bill to protect access to contraception.
Almost entirely thanks to Democrats, it passed. 194 House Republicans opposed it.
It’s 2022. How are they opposed to access to birth control?
@DougBurgum@SenJohnHoeven@SenKevinCramer @RepArmstrongND - Oof! Cramps are bad. Tried a period patch but it not enough. (Don’t want to know how bad it’d be w/out though.) Head & back hurt too. Only a few more hours of meetings & I can curl up on the couch. Kidding, I’m a mom.
@DougBurgum@SenJohnHoeven@SenKevinCramer @RepArmstrongND - Flow has increased this morning. Bled through because I am in a solid day of meetings and bathroom breaks are a luxury. Good thing I’m wearing black. Color still really dark and body aches.
@DougBurgum@SenJohnHoeven@SenKevinCramer @RepArmstrongND - My period has intensified overnight. Passed first clots this morning in the shower. Biggest one was about the size of a dime. They’ll get bigger though.
@DougBurgum@SenJohnHoeven@SenKevinCramer @RepArmstrongND - My period is upon us! First day flow is on the lighter side (normal) with very, very dark red blood (also normal for me). Think Merlot or Malbec, not Pinot Noir in color.
@DougBurgum@SenJohnHoeven@SenKevinCramer @RepArmstrongND - I am on period watch! The moment we’ve all been waiting for, I’m sure the anticipation has been extreme.
I’ve had cramps the last couple of days as my uterus prepares for the show. Trying Cora period balm for 1st time.
I hope you can see parallels in my story with the situation we women are in now. You knew nothing about my circumstances but that hasn’t stopped you from feeling you know better what is right for me. Circumstances are everything & you don’t know them. Stay out of my uterus.
And not 1914 so the procedure was as safe as it possibly could be for me (though the U.S. is not really winning in the maternal mortality category). I was blessed, but tip any one of those things in the other direction could have meant a very different result.
