TMI!! Girly pops only ‼️❤️
.
It’s time I finally chatted about this 🥰🩸 Growing up I had THE WORST periods. I would get terrible cramps, bloating, heavy flow, sore, irritable, anxious!! I tried the pill for a year and it made my body and mind feel terrible!! So I switched to the copper IUD and this made my periods even heavier!! 😫 I was so scared to try the hormone iud’s because last time I was on hormones (the pill) my coach called me too fat to ever achieve athletic success🥹 My last straw was when I switched to high diving and got so much water up my _______ that the even with a tamp I bled all over pool deck 💀🤡 I was so embarrassed but my male college coach was so chill about it 😂 THANK GOODNESS HAHA we still laugh about it to this day!! 
.
NOW!! I finally switched to the Mirena IUD which completely got rid of my periods for the past four years. As a high level athlete and busy CEO this is very normal. But, this made it hard to track my emotions. My body and mind feel great. I’ve been so busy the last few years that symptoms never really came back… but after a few months off, relaxing my body and my stress… I got my first period LOL! I was almost happy! That my body could relax enough to at least show some symptoms! I’m excited to track and see how my stress impacts my body 🥰❤️
.
Please write all your tips on how you track your 🩸 if you don’t get your 🩸🤔 Thank you love you!! Cheers to our era of doing brave things even if I’m on my perrrrrr 🥰👏
