The time my male friend actually realized how regularly women get harassed just walking down the street

This happened a few years ago, but I often feel the need to post this story in various comments, so I'd figure I'd make my own post.

Found out I was illegally sterilized

I had a hysterectomy yesterday and was informed that my surgeon found my tubes had been tied previously. I have had three other abdominal surgeries in the past 7 years but at no point was tieing my tubes discussed. I did not give consent for this and I didn't even know about it until yesterday.

If you have confirmed you are not pregnant, to safely induce your period, you can try some mild emmenagogues like parsley, ginger, yarrow, rosemary and sage. But before you reach for a handful of sage, it’s suggested that these herbs be taken in tea form, with the recommended dosage for these herbs being two to four cups a day. As to whether or not there’s a big difference in getting the outcome you’re hoping for if you drink four cups instead of two, the jury is still out — this is also not an automatic guarantee, so don’t be disappointed if it doesn’t work right away or if it doesn’t work at all.

Can stress make your period late?

Yes, it’s easier said than done — but since we already know that massive stress can make your period late by days or even months, then it certainly makes sense that reducing your stress can keep your period on track.
