  1. Wow. Still on my period. How long’s it been?
  2. My periods are so irregular. I can’t remember the last time I had a period, and I can’t remember when this one started.
  3. Okay. February 1st, I know it’s been at least that long because that’s the day I ordered my first menstrual cup, and I was bleeding that day.
  4. Thank fucking fuck for my menstrual cup.
  5. How could I live without it? I don’t think I could. Not bleeding for this long.
  6. Welp, gonna go ahead and order myself some THINX underwear while I’m at it, since I’m apparently going to bleed to death.
  7. Period underwear are legit.
  8. Maybe my period is almost over!
  9. Nope. I am now bleeding more than I was yesterday.
  10. I think I’m gonna start a fight with my husband today. I think I’m gonna fight with everyone today.
  11. Is this PMS, my anxiety, depression, or a mix of all three?
  12. I can’t stop crying so I’m just going to have another glass of wine.
  13. Well, guess I’ll re-download the Clue app so that I can actually start tracking my long af period.
  14. Is this safe? Is this normal?
  15. Why did I ever get an implant.
  16. Why couldn’t I just stick with the pill.
  17. Well fuck you too, uterus.
  18. All right, I’ve been bleeding for just over a month. Can this stop now?
  19. I’ve been bleeding for 40 days. Am I dead yet?
  20. Am I even a person?
  21. I’m bloated af.
  22. Pretty sure I gained a few more pounds.
  23. Oh good, another pimple.
  24. Why do people with vaginas bleed.
  25. Why is my vagina still bleeding.
  26. I should go to the gynecologist.
  27. My gynecologist is pretty awesome.
  28. But it won’t do any good to see the gyne. She’ll probably tell me what I already know. Excessive bleeding/spotting and irregular periods are typical of implants.
  29. BUT FFF@#%($aD*ASD$$%03-#?!!!?!
  30. Day 43 of being on my period. I’m alive.
  31. At least I’m not pregnant.
  32. I’m gonna cut 14 inches off my hair!
  33. At least I’m healthy and using a secure form of birth control.
  34. I’m gonna drink ALL THE WINE!
  35. At least I’m still feelin’ fly as fuck, even when going on day 44.
