So, had a dicussion about the nunga-nungas with mother...want to say argument, but it wasn't really. She's not trying to dissuade me, she just doesn't get why a lot of things don't help. Like why wearing a t-shirt over a woman's bathing suit is not an option.
And another thing we dicussed the other day that is oh-so-fun. I brought up the weird achyness I've had in the pelvic region on both sides, told her it can't be ovulation (she always says that's the origin of those pains), because unless I am even freakier than perviously though, I cannot be ovulating all month. She brought up something I had been thinking about, ovarian cysts. Tonight I went to wikipedia...
Dull aching, or severe, sudden, and sharp pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen (one or both sides), pelvis, vagina, lower back, or thighs; pain may be constant or intermittent -- this is the most common symptom
Fullness, heaviness, pressure, swelling, or bloating in the abdomen
Breast tenderness
Pain during or shortly after beginning or end of menstrual period.
Irregular periods, or abnormal uterine bleeding or spotting
Change in frequency or ease of urination (such as inability to fully empty the bladder), or difficulty with bowel movements due to pressure on adjacent pelvic anatomy
Weight gain (maybe? haven't weighed myself in ages)
Nausea or vomiting
Fatigue
Infertility
Increased level of hair growth
Increased facial hair or body hair (maybe for this and the last one? I'm hairy enough I can't really tell)
Headaches in some cases
Strange ribs pains, which feel muscular
Bloating
Occasionally, strange nodules that feel like bruises under the layer of skin
Feeling of lumps on the lower abdomen
So, um, yeah. Yay? No, not really. Mom said that it would be good! It would get them to remove my ovary(ies) if it ruptured! Exept I don't want them removed. If I were going on T, that'd be great. But I'm not going on T, so I really don't want to 'chemically castrate' myself quite yet.
Sigh. Bleh. I wish I didn't need a body.
