Vacation is over.

Vacation is over. Heading to work. Making money is good. I just wish I didn't feel like crap. No period yet, but plenty is going on in there. Blegh. 

It's definitely a Monday.

Birth Control post.  Look away if it offends!

So... yesterday for the first time in about 15 years I took a pregnancy test.

My period was due Thursday and it still hasn't come.  I was pretty regular before I had my IUD and the patterns looked as though I was going to be regular again since its removal, so, you know.  I got sort of worried.

We've been using the Caya diaphragm (the purple shape-y one) regularly for months.  I wasn't a huge fan of the round one... it made this popping feeling and it was a little harder to remove.  But looking back, it might have been the better choice.  I love a lot of things about the Caya (the texture, the ease of removal), but I noticed sometimes that it would rotate a little to the left or the right.  Not a lot, though.  Say that my pubic bone where the narrow end of the Caya is supposed to lock in is 12... well, sometimes it would rotate to around 11 or 1.  Didn't seem to be a big deal or uncommon from my research, though.

Well, we've been using it for months without any significant problems, but Wednesday it somehow managed to turn COMPLETELY backwards.  So the little nubby part was back where my cervix is - therefore leaving me wide open for babies.  NOT COOL.

So we went and got a generic Plan B pill and a pregnancy test from Wal-Mart.  I'd read that it wasn't likely I would get knocked up the day before my period, so I thought if it was late I should take a test to make sure I wasn't like, pregnant already.  It came back negative.  Since I JUST got worked out from the Mirena hormone hell I waited until the absolute last minute to take my back-up pill because I was really hoping my period would just show up.  But it hasn't.  😕

I am not super sure what's going on with me right now, but I read that drastic schedule changes can affect your period, so I guess I'm hoping that is what's going on.  Since I've been on vacation for two weeks I've stayed up until the wee morning hours and slept all day.  It has definitely been a drastic change.  And now since I took that pill that could throw me even farther off which SUCKS, but it was a the right thing to do.

I have to say with all of this pregnancy business coming up in my brain I'm almost kind of disappointed that I'm not.  It's so weird.  Logically, I know it's not a great idea and I would DEFINITELY NOT get laid unprotected or attempt to make a baby, but I feel like I'm having to battle biology right now.  I guess that's a whole 'nother post, but it's the weirdest feeling to be conflicted about something like that.

For anyone who is curious I've had slight PMS symptoms, but nothing major.  I don't normally cramp, but I cramped a good bit and felt generally crappy for a while after I took the generic Plan B.

Anyway.  I guess for now all I have to go on is how I feel and I don't feel pregnant.  I feel slightly PMS-y.  I have another test in the box if I decide I need to take it, so it's nice to have that on hand.

Lesson to take from this?  It doesn't matter if a round diaphragm rotates.  I won't forget that.

Even though I woke up at 3 pm yesterday

Even though I woke up at 3 pm yesterday I tired out at midnight, went to bed, and woke up at 7 this morning.  Fixed my schedule without even trying.  Go me.  😃

Now, can someone tell me just what the hell I am supposed to do on a Saturday morning this early?  I haven't a clue what to do with myself.  😳  Most of my ani-pals aren't even awake!

Couldn't have said it better.
