Looks like the courts are blocking Trump's attempt to change the mail-in voting rules across 23 states for now. It feels like this legal tug-of-war is just going to get more intense as we get closer to November. Do you guys think these last-minute legal battles will actually change how people vote?

I wouldn't give him the time of day..
he's just such a total hillbilly, honestly.

It’s been pretty steady for me over the last three years..
Before that, I used to deal with delays of about ten days quite often. A couple of times, I missed an entire month and then it finally showed up right at the 56-day mark 😬
And they used to be painful. Especially that first day.

A lot of my girlfriends have issues too—either dealing with cramps or just missing their periods entirely.
For me, the pain really depends on what time of day it starts. If it hits in the afternoon, the second day is usually manageable—I can get by with just one Advil. But if it comes in the morning, the pain is pretty intense that day—I usually need two Advil.

Now, I’m just constantly hoping my cycle stays regular.. Since I’m already two days late this time (probably just stress, I guess), I’m already starting to panic and wonder what’s going on—like, what if I’m actually pregnant?

So, the cycle is about... 28 days (maybe 30, twice a year) and lasts for 6.
And the PMS... I’m basically turning into a cranky old lady.
Usually, the first day hurts a little, but nothing a single Advil can't handle.😍

Look, silicone doesn't actually impact a woman's fertility or anything like that 😉
I mean—I'm generally against plastic surgery myself...

Look, until you actually deal with an HPV diagnosis, it’s easy to think you’re just making a choice for yourself—but it's more than that. Once you've already caught HPV, they won't even vaccinate you anymore. I actually checked with my OB-GYN about this—and honestly, once it happens, you really start wishing the vaccine had been available sooner, regardless of what anyone says about whether it works or not. I wouldn't mind if I spent money on something that didn't work, but I'd at least want to know I tried. I'm just hoping things don't get any worse.

So, just to mark my 100th post—I'd honestly love to be part of that experiment, but I guess I'm too late. 😢

I’m honestly just thankful—thank God—that she had a solid gynecologist who caught everything early. But look, Vitamin C isn't going to do anything against HPV and the cancer it causes. I guess people just need to wrap their heads around that. My mom kept trying to lecture me about eating more fruit instead of actually asking questions about the vaccine...

Amy Lee18 said:1) I don't really get the huge fuss—Gardasil offers about 70% protection against HPV, which is pretty much the same level of protection you'd get from using a condom.
2) No one is actually claiming that HPV is the sole cause of cervical cancer. We haven't found the definitive cause of cancer yet. The blame just shifted toward HPV because researchers found its DNA is often—though not always—integrated into the genetic structure of cervical cancer cells. About 30 years ago, people used to say the same thing about herpes simplex.

Eating well, getting enough sleep, staying active, and keeping stress levels down—that's probably going to help way more than three shots in the arm. I mean, with any disease, including cancer, prevention and healing really come down to how your immune system handles things. 🙂

😲 😲 😲 😲
So, I guess that means my mom's gynecologist totally messed up when he removed her entire uterus because of cervical cancer... just a clueless doctor, I suppose.😵 😵
And all she really needed was more sleep and a better diet with more fruits and veggies... it sounds that simple. It makes me wonder why he even performed the surgery, especially since she's still struggling mentally with it even years later. It's just... yeah, seems pretty reckless.

I honestly can't believe some people are actually this clueless...
Do you have any idea how many women would give anything in the world if that vaccine had been available sooner? Like, do you even realize what it's actually like to fight cervical cancer? Or the sheer dread when a gynecologist starts talking about CIN I, II, or III?

I mean, let me guess—is the malaria vaccine just a joke too? Is there really any point in getting vaccinated at all? Just look at the situation in parts of Africa—everyone there is doing just fine, right?
