What Are You Telling Me?
Dear discharge,
Why do I know so little about you, when you’re supposed to tell me so much? You change so much throughout my cycle but I have no idea what “normal” is. Some days you soak my pants, while other days you stain them. Nobody told me if it’s normal to always wear panty liners. You confuse me so much and make me so self conscious. What are you trying to tell me?

Beats Being Pregnant
Dear Injection,
Thanks for making me gain 15 pounds in a year. I feel awful about my body. Thanks for the awful side effects. Thanks for the spotting and discharge 24/7. But I guess all that beats being pregnant :).

Discharge Tells All…
Dear Contraception,
Since getting to know my body, educating myself and being able to identify where I am in my cycle purely from what type of discharge I produce, I have now gotten rid of you forever. Goodbye artificial hormones and latex sperm shields, hello freedom!
Good riddance,
Phoebe
