Day #20

Today will be a week since I started my period. I have not had a period that lasted 7 days since middle school until now. Granted, it has been very light after the first two days and it is still tapering off as of now. I will say that today looks like it is at it's end and hopefully that will be the last of the bleeding I will have.

I really hope that I don't keep spotting! I don't want to ruin my fancy Victoria Secret Pink underwear or never get the chance to wear them either! Okay, okay, I don't have an audience for them at the moment but still! Every girl likes to wear cute undies.

  Some other girls have complained about wasting money on liners, but should I continue to spot, I will use some reusable, cloth pads.

  I know, I know!! You are thinking what the hell are those and why would anyone wear them?!?!
Well, for me, I figured...why not? It's not going to kill me and if i don't like it than I won't use them.

 If you haven't looked into them or heard of them or are just grossed out by the idea, I would recommend at least looking at what people are selling. You can look at a few websites that mass produce them like lunapads or moonpads, but they are expensive! I recommend going on Etsy and looking at those. Not only are the ones on Etsy cheaper, but they are softer and cuter! Just looking at all the super cute patterns is fun! So, if you are bored one day, just look! (Okay, that's my little endorsement. I'm not some super vegan, healthy person. I don't recycle as much as I should, I love steak and I shower, shave, wear make-up and shamelessly rock my fav clothing brands....did I mention how much I love steak?)

  Here are some pics I took of ones I just bought (never been used so don't worry). I bought them on Etsy from bloosmpads. They are so soft and just well made. I have other ones but they are about 3 years old and were never cute to begin with (I think the website I got them from was Manymoons. But, like all the websites now, they are much more expensive than when I bought them.) Anyway, now you can say you have looked...

 Here is what they look like when they are snapped back.

 Here is what they look like from the other side. The backing fabric is fleece so it won't move when you are wearing it.

 Hopefully, these pics make you reconsider what you think when you hear about cloth pads. I don't even like using those words, but that is what they are! The other term used to re-usable pads, which in my opinion is worse.

 Other than that, things are great. No weight gain, my skin is looking better and better! I'm not moody and my sex drive is still healthy and present. Those are the side effects I worried about the most!

Well, that is all I have to report. As far as the effectiveness in the birth control part of Implanon, I probably won't be testing that out for months but that of course if a choice! ( at least that is what I am telling myself. It is certainly NOT going to be from the lack of options......I hope......)
