LOL Liz. I do think that guys are reading this, too, but i bet you that the majority couldn't stomach it after a few lines...LOL. Props to those who can stomach this so far, though, that's great!!!
Ok, well here's the deal--I went to the doctor today (as you al know lol). WELL, I ended up getting all these allergy medicines (supposedly I have a really BAD case of allergies) and also some stuff for the bad cramps. But, immediately after taking the medicine, I zonked out!! (Allergy medicine) The dr. only prescribed Motrin for the bad cramps

. I asked him about Ortho Tricyclen (MUCH TO MY DAD"S DISMAY

) LOL. But the dr. said he wanted to start me off with 2 Motrins/cramp, and see if I feel better. If no luck--he will prescrie the birth control pills in the future. He just said he didn't want to do it now b/c of the side effects, which he felt outweighed the positives for my body.
So no Ortho Tricyclen

. BUT...on to other things

! Tampons!!!!! I got them today!!! Playtex Slimfits!!! LOL, I'm so happy that you guys introduced me to tampons...I can't even believe that I managed to wear pads my whole life!!! LOLLOLOLOL. It hurt at first (b/c I was sooo scared), but it went in like a dream after a few minutes

!!!!!
Thank you guys SOOOO very much
