Waiting for G'flow

First, thank you for making me feel better about my envious feelings. Your comments really meant a lot to me.

Second, have any of you seen my period?

I am faithful. I am vigilant. I am ever watchful. And still ... still ... my period does not come. It's been eight days since I took my last Provera pill. I've had five days of spotting. Two days of heavy cramping. Much blood on the toilet paper yesterday yet never enough for a pad or tampon. And today, it's all dwindled to nothing. No cramps. Little to no spotting.

What the fuck?!?!?!

I called Dr. Charmin's office, and J. told me that it can take up to 14 days after stopping Provera for full flow to appear. Full flow, full flow. The words ring in my ears. The melodious refrain reverberates: full flow, full flow. Can you hear it? Yay, the heavenly tones sing a song of menses, harmonious like the voices of angels.

I've been waiting so long for my period now, dreaming of it, wishing for it, wondering what it will be like. I envision the arrival of my period as my very own Rapture:

1 Proverians 4:16–17 states, "For full flow will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the archangel’s cramping call, and with the sound of the trumpet of ART. And the uterine lining will rise first; then we who are bleeding, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the ovaries and the uterus in the air; and so shall the next cycle begin."

I am ready. I am willing. I am prepared. I am rapture ready. How long will I have to wait for ... *sound of bells chiming and the flapping of doves' wings* ... full flow?

Seems like a lot of us are taking biblical themes lately, huh?

Thanks for the wonderful laugh. I have no good advice for you. I took progesterone to get my last period - NOTHING. Not even spotting. The RE had NO CLUE why I wasn't bleeding. Supposedly, there's some sort of shot - P4? that is supposed to bring that baby on - but who knows.

I hope the rapture comes for you and that you need lots of pads :)

Mmm. Maybe your period has eloped to Peru, or similar. Then again, full flow, that sounds like a backwoods town in rural West Virginia. Y'all, I'm a-headin to F-ah-ulll F-uh-low.

I hope it turns up soon, I do, oh I do.

RAPTURE READY FOR THE FLOW??? So funny!

Maybe you should go horseback riding or swimming... girls on the tampon commercials are always doing those things... Maybe it is a cause and effect.

When it comes let us know and we will throw you a Princess Menses party!

Classic. No flow but glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humour or great talent for writing.

I have vague memories of a deep-south preacher lamenting easter saying "it's Friiiiiiday, oh it's Friiiiiday - but Sunday, is a'coming"

Not sure who I hate more, AF or Provera. Little fuckers like nothing more than fucking with your mind.
