Personal Topic

Ok so here is a recap from the last personal topic about birth control options. Well after speaking to the doctor I decided to go ahead and try the IUD. She told me since I have never had kids before, I could possibly cramp more. Well I got it put in yesterday. The actual process of getting it inserted was not bad really. She said I actually did really well considering I've never had a kid.

I did fine all day yesterday and then lastnight came. I was in so much pain lastnight I could not sleep. I couldn't get comfy at all. I had a heating pad, took a hot bath, took meds and everything. I was kind of miserable. I woke up fine this morning and did really well all day today. Today around 5 I started to cramp a little. Then come 7 it got really bad. Now I'm laying in bed with the heating pad. I really hope the cramping does not last too long.

Any suggestions on dealing with cramps other than naproxen and heating pad? I have taken 1400 mg of Naproxen today which is A LOT! haha Please pray for me that this cramping does not last too long. :(

Innappropriate Name

Ok so you know how you can get pictures and messages printed on M&Ms. Well I got on their website to check out the prices. I thought about doing this for the wedding. I also wanted to see what messages we could put on there. I filled out the message part with the following two messages:

02-20-10

Mr & Mrs
Adcock

I click submit to view the M&Ms, and this is the message that came up.

"You have entered an inappropriate or offensive word for your message. Please choose another message."

My new last name is considered inappropriate. HAHA

I guess I really love Eric to accept an inappropriate lastname :)

Save the Date

Eric designed our save the dates. :) He is so creative. We are still tweaking the teal color. It is going to be on glossy good quality photo paper, and the picture is going to be a magnet. My parents are so gracious enough to print the picture on a magnet for us.

My Brain Hurts

I have finals this week, and I have been studying non-stop. My first one is tomorrow, pathology practical. There are 9 questions and that's it! I really don't think it will be that bad. I've been looking over the material a ton! Then on Wednesday is our OMT practical. I will study for that tomorrow night. I've looked over that material some, but I'm not too worried. Thursday is the big guy, 180 questions! I started studying for this thing last weekend!

I'm starting to hit a brick wall and burnt on studying, so please say a prayer for me that I keep on studying. On a good note, I get to see Eric in 72 hours!!! He is flying in Thursday night for a weekend of quality time together.

The only wedding talk that will happen this weekend is we are registering Friday morning and premarital counseling Sunday after church. I'm so excited for a weekend with just the two of us. We might go look at apartments on Friday as well. We have a few in mind that we want to check out. YAY!!!

Alright back to studying. Wish me luck and please pray for me :)

Personal Topic

Alright, so I'm warning you this is a personal topic. I guess since I'm going into the medical field, I'm use to personal topics. I expect my patients to be open with me so why not be open as well.

I'm going to the doctor this week to determine a birthcontrol method that works for Eric and me. I am wanting to create an informed opinion prior to the appointment. I would love your opinion on this topic. If you have a method that works for you let me know. If you have a method that failed let me know. If you stopped a method due to side effects let me know.

The possibility of getting pregnant right now during medical school is not an option. It's not due to selfish reasons, we just will not be able to provide for a child right now. I will be starting rotations in August 2010 and residency in 2012. The hours will be crazy insane and very stressful. I still will not have an income but I will have debt from student loans, so why bring a child into the world knowing we would have to use government assistance.

As of right now, I'm leaning towards an IUD. I am horrible at remembering to take a pill at the same time everyday. I was on birthcontrol in the past for my acne. I would skip a day or two, just because I would forget!!! Then I tried the nuvaring, but that was just uncomfortable. I've heard great things from other people about the ring, so maybe I inserted it wrong? haha

Let me know your thoughts! If you don't want to post on here but would email me that would be awesome! Thanks for being open with such a personal topic.

Plans for the Weekend

I will be spending the entire weekend studying neuroanatomy. I did not do as well as I wanted on my test, so I'm studying my butt off. I'm going back to learn the material that I thought I understood for the last test. Our final is comprehensive. :(

Eric changed my facebook password, so I can't get on facebook this weekend. I want it to be a very productive weekend. I sat through a lecture today on ADHD, and I think I have ADHD. (I'm writing this post while I'm at the school studying haha) I'm trying to get rid of all the possible distractions.

My finals are not for another week, but I want to be well prepared. Now on to schizophrenia, psychosis, and anti-psychotic drugs. WOOHOO!
