Finally!

I finally am having an actual period 🤩

I got desperate and ordered the premama birth control cleanse on Monday, it still hasn't arrived yet but because of this new development I'm going to give it a month before I start taking it and see if I start cycling normally on my own. If I do then I'm not sure what I'll do with the stuff I ordered, maybe I can return it and get a refund but I'm really not hopeful that'll happen.

**this next part is TMI (no pictures) but I've always wished someone described their first period after stopping depo so maybe someone else wants it too***

I had EWCM on the 27th, a few hours later I started just having weird tissue looking stuff in my pee with no blood, a little bit of spotting the second day but not enough to even show up on a panty liner. Next day, I needed a panty liner and as of yesterday an actual pad!! So far it's been a relatively light but steady flow. Lots of cramping, yesterday I basically just laid around all day with a heating pad and today I can only go about an hour without it and then I have to lay down and heat for 20 minutes. Midol complete helps a little bit, without it I'm in enough pain it makes me nauseated and dizzy but honestly unbearable cramping was something I always dealt with on my period so I feel like it's just another sign that my body is going back to it's version of "normal."
