Title: I am incredibly freaking stupid...
Post by Melissa on Sep 20th, 2005, 11:25am
It just occured to me, after 15 yrs of having ch's, that I don't get them every other year... I get them every 3 years!  I feel like such a dumbass. :-[  

I asked my husband if I had gotten them the first year we were married (in 1998 ) and he said he couldn't remember.  Now I DO remember getting them when I lived in my duplex the previous year in '97, but not that next year.  The next time I got my cycle was in 2000, when I found this website.  The cycle after that, was 2 1/2 weeks after giving birth to my son in 2003.  So you see, it wasn't a coincidence that I didn't have my cycle while pregnant, it just came a couple months earlier than it was supposed to, the next year!

OMG, here I've been taking the kudzu because I didn't want my cycle to come this year, and now it isn't going to get here until NEXT year.  I am now scared shitless!! [smiley=eek5.gif]  The convention is next year, what if I'm in cycle?  How am I going to cope?  What if I've screwed everything up for myself by taking the kudzu while out of cycle??  Why then, am I getting shadows regardless?  

I am seriously confused and embarrassed now... :( :( :(

I am SO SO very sorry!!!

Mel I don't think you can screw anything up by taking kudzu so don't worry! Alot of people are using it for reasons other than CH so I don't think you can have mucked anything up.
And if you are in cycle.. you'll cope. Same as you have with everything else when in cycle! I know you an dI know you will do it ( and I know we all will help in any way we can too!)
Enjoy your PF time okay?! Its too precious to spend it worrying - you never know.. by next year the beast may have lost your addy completely anyway!
here's hoping!
love
Helen X

Thank you Helen, but as you know, when you have ch's, you always expect the worst. :(

It's OK though, I guess I deserve it for being so dumb.

I need to wear a sign that says "CAUTION: Right Brained Female Ahead" or something to that effect. ::)

*sigh*

I'm going to go off the kudzu immediately.  No sense in suffering the side effects needlessly, right?  Anyway, thanks for the support hon, I really do appreciate it. [smiley=hug.gif]

A pro at what?  Making an ass of myself or being mathmatically challenged [smiley=huh.gif].

;;D

Thanks Eric... :-*

:D
at least you are being "Pro" Active.

I never found a pattern that fit me,
so still wonder why I loose my temper
exactly two hours before a really bad hit.

My husband and family and co-workers all
know it's comming...when quiet, and easy-going
turns into demanding and Ferrocious....monster.

It takes my breath away, yet
they simply back away and say,
"When it hurts...you go do what you need to..."
and they are ready....meanwhile I am still clueless
as I run to a safe room to pace it out....

ahh,
the silly joys of clusters.
Aren't we blessed???

Melissa, there really is no rhyme or reason to the beast... I don't know why you're shadowing, but I don't think it's because of the kudzu. Anyway, I'm very glad that if you must live with CH, at least it only comes around every three years. That's wonderful...  :)

In or out of cycle you are going to that convention even if I have to personally come and pick you up myself. ;;D

Oh my goodness - Mel, you're being way too hard on yourself here.

You're not an idiot, you're not a dumbass, and you haven't made an ass of yourself.

You have a very busy life with kids, a house, a hubby and a dog.  Now and again we can all lose track of stuff in our lives - even the crappy stuff.

You will go to convention next year - sounds like there might be more than one of these good folks that would swoop in and grab ya up!

Cross each bridge as you get to it and don't worry about the "what ifs".  You'll be fine, little one.

Hugs
Carol

Thanks everyone.  I definately was being over dramatic this afternoon, but I felt so bad for telling people my cycle comes every other year, instead of every 3 years.  I honestly didn't think anything of it, until now of course.   :-/

Thanks so much for understanding and putting up with my antics.  I promise I'll make it to Milwaukee come hell or high water!!
