BC question
<--------------------------Completely dumb
Ok, so I COMPLETELY screwed up my birth control this month. I was supposed to go pick up a new pack and start it on Sunday. I completely forgot. Monday was the holiday so it completely threw me off schedule and I still forgot. YESTERDAY was the last day I could pick it up without completely messing up my cycle and what happens?? I remember at 9PM last night. SOOOOOO, what do I do now? I've never screwed it up this bad before, so I have no idea what to do. I don't want to google birth control stuff at work, but I'm slightly freaking out. Since I'm a Sunday starter, do I have to wait a whole month until my period so I can start a new pack?
We did the PNP this morning and will be picking up some condoms later just in case. We haven't bought any in like 2 years. It's going to be weird.
Re: BC question
Seriously. I couldn't pick out condoms if I wanted to! They're so advanced lol
ditto!
And afterwards, you have a nice little bag of man-juice!!
(Gross... I probably shouldn't submit that, but whatever!!)
hahaha ugh
WARNING: GROSSNESS AHEAD
Mine got a bump on the back too. I took the earring out and I was looking at it in the mirror and it kind of "popped". All of this infected liquid came oozing out and I showed it to my uncle who happens to be an ear, nose, and throat doctor and he was like "hand me that earring". I gave it to him and he threw it in the trash. He basically told me that my ear was super-infected and that if I left an earring in it that the cartilage could collapse and I could have an elephant ear. Um, thanks Unc!!! You have officially freaked me out now.
You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through.
If you were in my shoes, you'd fall the first step."
I had my cartilage pierced when I was in high school. I had the same ring it in for ten years...took it out before the wedding and decided I was just done with it. It was the kind of thing that I had done and then never really gave another thought to, so somehow ten years later it was still kicking around. This post made me curious about whether it has started to grow over yet, so I tried to put an earring in there. I may as well have taken the original earring out yesterday, it hasn't closed even a little bit. I am going to assume that it probably never will, since I had the piercing in for so long.
I also have my BB pierced. I have given a LOT of thought recently as to whether I should take it out. I don't want to have one of those really weird and gross enormous stretched out holes when I get pregnant. But I also think it looks weird when I take it out (I've had this pierced for about 10 years as well, and I just think my BB looks strange without a barbell in there).
I have no idea what to do, so...recommendations? Leave it in or take it out? Am I screwed and going to have an enormous stretched out hole there either way?
