cyst bursting - to me it felt almost exactly like when my appendix ruptured, only on a much lower scale, but when my appendix ruptured the pain was so low the doctors thought a cyst was bursting.
8/27/2009 1:39:45 AM
The pain is just dull and achey now. I can feel it when I think of it.

I mean I have pcos and I will get random sharp stabbing pains in my ovaries often. But this one was like a butcher knife going in me and being twisted around to the point of me feeling like I was going to barf. I broke out into a sweat. I was driving too and I had to pull over and lay flat back in my seat until I could move again.

i need a duvet cover!!!but i'm not trying to spend like $150. i'd like to spend <$80 for a full/queen duvet cover. its just that i'm so picky i can't find anything that i'm 100% sure i'll love. where have you guys found good duvet covers/what does yours look like? i think this one from urban outfitters is cute, like the colors, unsure about the birds, and unsure of whether or not i'd get sick of it in like a week:http://tinyurl.com/lmvs4y (for close up images of the pattern)i don't think i want just a solid color. i'd like some pattern but not too much color or too crazy. i like blues/greens/browns and earth tones. but lighter shades of all those colors. i just don't know where to look. i didn't like any of the ones on targets website. what do you guys think about this? it is a little expensive ($99) but i really like it in the natural and sea spray colors (which is better?). it is solid but i think the pintucking gives it some character and i can always find funky shams/throw pillows to spice it up:http://www.westelm.com/products/b340/?pkey=cduvet-covers-quiltsthen there's this (i would want it in the sea color i think - it isn't pictured, but the brown seems a little dark. either brown or sea. i just can't do white - my cat gets on my bed and there would be fur and whatever else to get it dirty):http://www.westelm.com/products/b437/?pkey=cduvet-covers-quiltsi just don't even know where to look!!EDIT: ok so after looking at them again i am leaning toward the second one in sea spray (the grayish color) - thoughts??? i know gray is kind of blah but i think with the right sheets and pillow shams it could turn out to be really pretty. it is $99 but that is fairly cheap for an organic cotton duvet cover. HOWEVER it is only 230 thread count. i don't know what thread count my duvet cover is now. i hope it wouldn't be scratchy.[Edited on August 29, 2009 at 1:27 AM. Reason : .]

well i'm posting again because no one else is up in OTHER news this website is AMAZING. i want everything on it - except it is like, prettttttty expensive. aside from the duvet covers which seemed pretty reasonable considering those things are expensive everywhere (even like target).anyway. i could make my condo really pretty if i had unlimited $$$ to spend here! http://www.westelm.com/
8/29/2009 1:42:01 AM
^^ target had a white version of the 2nd picture. I got all new bedding when I lived in Raleigh...now I brought it with me and i love white on white with accent colors. mine are silver and blue.
8/29/2009 1:48:25 AM
really? awesome i will have to check it out. i mean i CAN do white i just would rather not because my dumb cat sheds a lot and she has brown fur but i really like the 2nd one.

Why not make your own duvet cover? That's my plan. One solid color sheet and one print so it's reversible. Much cheaper to buy 2 flat sheets of a decent thread count than a duvet cover.

http://www.sininlinen.com/i bought a sin in linen duvet off amazon last year when i was looking for onei got this printand LOVE it and get lots of compliments on it when new people come over and i give them a tour of the housebut the sin in linen website, honestly is like hot topic type shit except for the one i posted. but i will say the quality is very good and it came with matching pillowcasesand a pic of how it looks on the bed since i realized the website pic is overwhelming[Edited on August 29, 2009 at 12:46 PM.

8/29/2009 1:28:04 PM
ok i think i'm definitely (eventually) going to get the pintuck duvet cover (i looked on ebay and found some new ones for cheaper yay!). i just don't know which color i want:Sea Grass:Sea Spray (this is originally what I thought I wanted):or Natural (now i'm kind of leaning toward this but i don't know if it is too light!):
8/29/2009 2:07:18 PM
I vote for sea spray.
8/29/2009 5:27:56 PM
Sea Spray. Too adorable! Now I want it...

sawahash - what you described sounds about right. a few looooooooong moments of insufferable pain and then a day or two of aching. i usually have what i call "firework" cramps for a few days before the bursting. a burst of pain the spreads and contracts quickly.
8/29/2009 5:58:08 PM
8/29/2009 5:59:43 PM

Yeah, I need to find a gyno around here...my mom said the doctor that delievered me is still around...but I don't know if I wanna go to him...I'll ask around.
8/29/2009 9:07:54 PM
Sea spray most def. and it will be a while but i can't wait to take a pic of my bedding I love it.

soo my birthday is next week and im trying to find a dress...any ideas?what do you think of this?[Edited on August 30, 2009 at 6:29 PM. Reason : s]
8/30/2009 6:24:49 PM
^ urban outfitters? its definitely unique. i am a fan of purple and gray. it just looks like it might be a little thin (judging from the way it looks on the model, anyway)EDIT: nvm, urban!!have you tried modcloth? they usually have really cute dresses, too[Edited on August 30, 2009 at 7:33 PM. Reason : .]
8/30/2009 7:32:26 PM
i kinda like this too...okay! I'll have to go look I need it by saturday..
8/30/2009 7:56:44 PM
8/30/2009 8:14:20 PM
that first dress looks like something I would throw on to go run errands, definitely not something I'd wear out on my birthdaythe second one looks like britney spears collided with a streetwalkerread: they both look cheap[Edited on August 30, 2009 at 8:25 PM. Reason : it's your birthday, go for a real designer]
8/30/2009 8:23:58 PM
this is pretty cute...
8/30/2009 10:28:04 PM
I kind of agree with begonias. Though it depends on where you're going for your birthday. The first dress is adorable, but the second is fairly vegas-y.If you don't want to spend too much but want a nicer dress or designer, then find a decent loehmann's or a thrift store in an upscale neighborhood. My old roommate regularly finds great designer brands (lamb shoes and betsey johnson dresses) at the thrift store in the rich part of town. Betsey johnson dresses are perfect birthday party dresses. They're so wild, yet well-constructed.
8/30/2009 10:28:08 PM
i love her dresses but I'm not sure where I am going (it's a surprise). All I was told is dress like I'm going out....I really like this dress tooI just bought these that I could wear it with...

i'm gonna venture in here and ask you ladies, mainly cuz calling my doctor and leaving a message with the nurse and waiting on a call back just seems like a lot to go through right now can weightloss change the way your body reacts to birth control? what i mean is, i've been on the same pill (the generic of ortho-cyclen, i think it's called sprintec) for as long as i can remember. i've never had problems. then for some reason, in the last 3 or 4 months, i've been getting my period literally twice a month. i get some spotting and light bleeding at 2 weeks (that lasts 2 or 3 days), then i get the full-on period at 4 weeks (when the pills say i should get it). the first month it happened, i thought it was stress. the second month it happened, i was just flat out annoyed. and now i've "started" again, but i'm not due until next monday. and this makes the fourth month in a row this kinda thing has happened. i started losing weight 9 months ago, and though i'm only down 35lbs, i can't think of anything else that could have caused this to start happening. any ideas???]
8/31/2009 9:17:02 AM
^ It could be a combination of things. Stress + dietary changes + hormonal fluctuations can change the way your body reacts to birth control. Because weight loss does affect your hormones, it could also affect the way your body responds to your birth control.
8/31/2009 9:26:43 AM
i guess i need to ask to switch pills then. but i hate the trial and error that comes along with that. what should i ask to be switched to? maybe the doctor will have some ideas.
8/31/2009 9:27:29 AM
did you start taking them back-to-back to skip your period altogether?i started getting spotting at week 2 and what should've been week 4 when i did thatidk about changes in efficacy with weight other than for the patch]
8/31/2009 9:29:14 AM
I switched to lutera from levora about 2 months ago and so far I really like it. I can't decide if it's the meds or life in general that has kind of killed my appetite but I've lost a little weight. I'm hoping it's not a coincidence I think the skipping the period thing is weird. I've delayed my period so I could have some fun on special weekends, but in general I like having it and knowing for sure that I'm not preggo. VV haha, I've heard that about a lot of people. Between the price of it going up and weight gain I couldn't take it anymore. ]
8/31/2009 9:30:10 AM
^^nope, i've never tried to do that - mainly cuz the whole concept of it sorta creeps me out.]

Also, I have had my last two hair cuts/styles at hair schools.I went to the Paul Mitchell school in San Diego for a color change. It cost $30 and looked awesome!Last Friday I went to the Aveda Institute in Orlando for a basic cut. It cost $12 and I'm extremely satisfied.Although the stylists are students, their instructors pay very close attention to your cut.

i have found an awesome site (pricey, but awesome discounts on designer stuff)http://www.ideeli.com/you have to be invited to be able to buy, so if anyone wants to join, pm me your email address

are the rula and ideeli sites just like hautelook? I dont really ever like the stuff on there
8/31/2009 12:02:18 PM
^Rue Lala is like Hautelook pretty much with the designer stuff. The prices can be steep, depending on what you are looking at, but sometimes they mark stuff down so much that you cannot pass up on the deal! I have never been to the other site.
8/31/2009 12:07:49 PM
I like ruelala! I've bought about 3 items so far off the website and love all 3 of them!
