Any time!!!
I know more than I ever wanted to know about the insides of my pelvic floor!!
I expelled a Mirena IUD a few months ago and it freaked me out at first! At least when I told my friend it won't hurt to have hers taken out she can believe me though!

1) Wearing white pants and skirts. No, scratch that. I don't really like white pants and skirts. Change that to "wearing any color except black or navy blue below the waist".
2) Being able to stand up with confidence every day of the month. (No, "Gee -- here comes another clot.")
3) Spontaneous sex any day.
4) Nice white panties. Never felt I was worth anything better than the cheapies.
Great thread.

Seriously...
>not losing 7-14 days of my life every month (recently that became 25 days every 30!).
>being able to ride my bike any time and do long distance riding and touring, like I've dreamed of for years.
>bagging up and giving away all my "feminine products".
>being able to take long hikes with my dogs in the woods again.
>not having to stock my car, briefcase, desk drawer with tampons, pads, spare undies, Advil.
>being able now to plan a vacation and not worry that I will be flooding and clotting and miserable.
>new underwear...throwing all the old stuff out! Hooray!
>no more missing work because I literally could not leave the house for days at a time.

I am definitely looking forward to brand new panties that will remain stain-free as well as no more industrial strength pads!

I am so looking forward to:
1. Being able to sleep all night long without having to change my tampon/pad 3 times a night.
2. Not scheduling ANYTHING around that time of the month!
3. Being able to stand up without fear of killing another pair of pants.
4. Pants in colors other than Dark!
5. Energy after anemia is gone.
6. Tampons as christmas decorations!
7. Not worrying about getting PG!
This is GREAT!!

I like this!
1. Hopefully not looking 4 months pregnant, I want to see my pubic hair when I look down!
2. No more aunt Flo. I too have to set my alarm 2 times a night to change my super plus tampon.
3. Not being so obsessed with all these thoughts about surgery.
4. Being able to empty a full bladder when I have the urge to go instead of just a spoonful every 1/2 hour.
5. Being able to be on the other side and sharing my stories to others who need comfort (as I do now).
6. Not feeling that oozy feeling in my panties and wondering if I have had a leak or unexpected breakthrough bleeding.
Thanks for all the wonderful things that I have to look forward to. Maybe it will be worth it!
