I think my mom had to take iron before. Although I’ve never had to.

@Hotarla:
Then I'll get all grandma again, and tell you should go to gynecologist, my girl.
First because there may be something to help you with it (although most likely it's a pill and maybe you don't want to take hormones, but at least you know about your options).
And second because there is a little chance it's a symptom of something, and in that case catching it early would be so much better.


@Moi:
Iron pills take a while to make a difference, because you need to build up your iron storage.
Eating a lot of iron-rich foods helps too but it's a bit slower.


Condescending doctors, I hate that.

I suppose lol. Still, I think I have an idea as to why I’m irregular lol and I’m pretty sure my doctor will say the same thing. XD

Looks like it might rain today. Although it was sunny awhile ago lol.
Totally unrelated but my mom showed me how the two little hens&chicks succulents I inadvertently planted outside have grown. Like a LOT. Like they used to be these small tiny things and now they’re almost as big as a baby’s palm lol. Almost as big as an adults palm. I didn’t think they would actually grow (thought they would actually die lol).

I wanted to put a small plant in my room and my sister had a whole bunch of hens&chicks/rosette succulents in little pots by the windowsill and she never cares for them (my mom does all the planting stuff). So now my sisters succulents were just taking up space so I took a few rosettes and try raise them myself. Except my little planter wasn’t big enough for all the succulents I picked so I threw them outside. XD now, they’re huge lol.

@Moi:
Yeah, iron pills leave a bad after taste. Metallic. Which makes sense, I suppose.
Also they make your feces much darker (beautiful topic, I know, I know xD) which at first is a bit shocking.
But they do help a lot, specially to not feel exhausted.


@Hotarla:
I'm really considering whether I should get some succulents.
I don't have anywhere outside for them - all indoors, but with much light. But since they seem to be quite resilient maybe they don't mind much.

The aloe vera keeps doing quite well, even despite having an accident - broken flowerpot, plant and soil scattered around. But still alive.
So I guess smaller succulents could be a good option too,

Succulents are cute! The only reason I decided on succulents is because my room doesn’t get sunlight lol. I have a balcony but because of the awning, the light filters in but no actual sunlight. In the mornings/afternoons, I move my succulent into my parents room by their window where it gets direct sunlight and then I move it back during the night. Sometimes, I just want to see a bit of lively green in my room lol.

Sometimes my plants grow without me having to do anything lol. XD those are the best type of plants lol.

Yeah, those are the kind of plants I want: the one which won't die even if I neglect them!
