The coil is not the agony I had feared it might be - I have one day where it is quite painful, but even if I don't have any painkillers to hand it is not actually incapacitating. However, it has changed my periods, so I have a few days of small amounts of blood in discharge (enough to need a liner), and then about four days of actual bleeding, including two nights where I overflow my larger capacity cup and need back-up, and then about three/four days of bleeding gradually tailing off. I've only just started using an online tracker to work out when things happen, but this currently only leaves me with about a week in the middle where I don't bleed at all. I am mildly grumpy about this. According to monthlyinfo I'll be rageous about it in about two days.

There isn't a friend feature, and now I am quite sad. I could have seen who I was synching with! It would also be handy for keeping track when you worked/lived with people and knew who to approach if you found yourself in need of a tampon or pad.

On the one hand I feel slightly guilty that I have so little idea about how my menstrual cycles work, but on the other hand I sort of like that I haven't had that thing of feeling that I should absolutely know when things are going to happen to try and contain/control them. But now, GRAPHS. Also, the flow is so heavy that I can't just grab toilet paper in an emergency any more.
