Hey ladies- Today I am bringing you a blog about my first cycle with my Paragard IUD. To read my blog about the insertion click here. I got my IUD inserted on August 3, 2017. I was on the tail end of my period when I got it inserted and continued to spot for about four days after insertion. Nothing a panty liner couldn't handle! I had cramping after insertion that lasted for less than 24 hours. I took Ibuprofen during the day and relaxed! Honestly, I was exhausted from having anxiety (about getting it in) so it was nice to just relax. During this cycle I got random mild cramping for an hour here or there, and ibuprofen managed it when needed. The cramping was not every day, out of the cycle I probably cramped for 5 days total (after the first 24 hours, and before my period began). I did spot VERY minimally here and there too, but honestly it was nothing to even wear a panty liner for. I was really surprised with how well I was doing with the IUD!

So, you're going to college? Here's some things I wish someone told me:  1- Even if you say you won’t change your major, you still might 2- You don’t have to go out every weekend, or at all 3- High school did not matter one bit 4- Get a good nights sleep, exercise, and fuel your body with good foods- the freshman 15 is a myth!  5-Start applying for jobs early, you never know 6- Take every opportunity you get to do cool things 7-Adults don’t know everything, in fact we are all just faking it until we make it  8-Study hard because the future depends on you 9- Go to the library- you’ll never know studying until you lock yourself in a cubicle  10- When someone says: “Are you sure that’s what you want to do?” look them right in the eye and say “Yes, it’s all I think about” (and if you don’t answer that way, change your major) 11- People will doubt you, heck you'll even doubt yourself, and that doesn't mean you suck Thanks for readin...

Hi friends- If you haven't noticed, I haven't been updating my blog recently. These past few weeks have been busy busy busy! I had finals week for my first year of nursing school. That itself consumed most of my time for about two weeks. Thank god they're over and I did fantastic. I have many products I am looking forward to reviewing over the next couple of months. I don't know when I will be able to post, but I will try my best to do it often! This summer I am taking more nursing courses at my college. Five days a week, 8 hour days. I will be a busy bee. I am moving into a new apartment and starting classes in the next couple of days. I would like to continue to post as often as time allows. Thank you for following my blog, it means so much to me that you've taken the time to read my posts! Please continue to stop by! If you'd like to follow me regularly, I post most often on Instagram.
