I have worried my soul case out for the past fortnight
after a full screen at the STD clinic....not that
I had a legion of lovers, not that dropped my knicks in
that final dwindling dance in a last heavenly fling
of me overies, my aim was to concieve not to terminate
or contract a ****ing virus or sickness (and that date
COST 70 earthy ****in sterling quids at an agency) In
fact all told I've had sex ooooh! 24 times? in 4 & half
years with 3 people....(women don't count now....do they?X)

I came out in a rash, and marks and blotches, no swollen
glands though, I hadnt lost weight although I have come
down with really bad flu. The worst thing of all was
worrying about the kids, my God what about those poor
kids am I contagious? what should I do to prevent any
contact that could be harmful, where to avoid, who
should know..my demise means nowt, I've lived, but to
little ones who have a horrid world out there without
mom, and less contact with dad what would they do? it
had crossed my mind that I was getting hypochondria...
you know cos mom had died so recently,I knew I'd feel
lousy about now, after Christmas, this time of year,
but I didnt expect to get so run down so fast.

I was ready the day of the results, I'd sorted out my
finances, list of to do's and to dont's.

"Its all clear, they're all clear" said the voice,

I didnt know what to say

I sobbed about 10 minutes afterwards. 'm not waiting
for them to contact me to tell me theres been a mix up.

I'm on medications for stress, so I got out the box
and it said 'can cause side effects' blah, blah, blah,
(yes I've got those) immunity syndrome, relieved by
stopping medication'. (somebody please wipe me off the
floor) even the drs off ill & I'll be there as soon as
possible. I dislike hospitals and I don't want to make
any habit of visiting them. Then I'm going to plan for a
holiday warm somewhere for us all with a good sunscreen
and a reminder to myself 'chastity belts'.

What a scary thing to go through alone. ((( Miri )))

I'm glad you can relax about the STD possibility though.

And you may find this weird/fun/interesting:

I smacked my head and cried, "Why didn't I think of that?" when I
read
it. (Not really... but it is funny to think of someone with perfect
pitch moaning "middle C, middle C!).


in this case the rhythm method is NOT contraceptive, or is it, what a
conundrum?



ya gotta read the article to understand the fun. :-)

Best laugh I've had today 'Kate......thanks! Kinda
priceless...... :-)

Oh those wacky Ukrainians.- Hide quoted text -

That is SOO funny ROFL where can we buy them?!! it
reminds me of the damp nappy diaper alert chip that
you could get a while back, great novelty that really
took the 'urk!' out of the 'icky!' but that chip, I'm
just wondering what else it could be used for, the
motion alert sounds really funny,

Thinking about protection does anyone remember those
femidoms? big baggy things? a friend of mine bought
one just to see what they were like and fell about
laughing! I still think a sort of cling-film adaption
would be best its on a roll, cheap, multipurpose
and discreet - and we can pretend we're going on
picniks when we're really have sordid affairs

I had to say at the STD clinic that I wasnt averse
to the slap and tickle, but with one partner we'd had
condom problems, rubbers too small they roll up and ping
off, or too baggy at-the-time, I told the Doc but she
only laughed....I said that when I nervously (cos someone
might see) went to the counter to buy a pack of assorted
sizes there was no such thing.

Its something that I've been worried about telling my
kids, what to say to them? telling them to make sure they
use protection, making sure they're safe, but not wanting
to interfere with their private and emotional life. If
you scare the hell of them telling them about disease they
could avoid the relationship scene altogether. Some guy
told me once that the most scary movie he watched was
one of giving birth in a biology lesson.
