i'm starting to wonder if all my stuff is hormonal. all the bleeding
stuff and spotting (even the stuff after bms) is happening during the
first 2 weeks of my cycle. after ovulation, i just have cramps. the
spotting for the last 2 weeks of my cycle has pretty much stopped.
weird. so i'm kind of looking forward to going on the pill to see if it
helps. i certainly hope so.
