_sigh_ it is that time of year to go off norethindrone so I can get spelunked and boobiegramed. Needless to say all the months without labor pains, bleeding out and hormones from hell have spoiled me. Just throw a huge amount of chocolate and good pain killers int the room and run away fast before the bitch from hell gets you ☹ ---

What - you don’t like having your boobs squeezed into a vice with lead pasties on them and held down on an ice cold plate? At least something makes going to the dentist sound good. ---

It would have sounded less kinky if I had typed ‘vise’ instead of ‘vice’. I suppose a masochist might get turned on by it but it’s usually some female lab tech with cold hands and a cheery attitude that makes you want to hit her, or at least clamp her own boob down while she chirps at you. ---

I beg to differ! We get a finger up the butt, too! Just for a sec, but damn it’s surprising! I just had my squish-o-gram a month ago. Good for you for doing it! ---

> [@](#): > > I beg to differ! We get a finger up the butt, too! Just for a sec, but damn it’s surprising! Prostate exam’s longer than that. I hate it. Also not happy about the colonoscopy. But I can’t complain. I think you gals have it worse. If they tried doing testicular cancer exams the way they do mammograms, you can bet they’d be _insisting_ that they switch to non-compressing Cat-scan-type exams, even though they take an order of magnitude longer and cost more. ---

I need to get a boobiegram, too. What makes it worse is that the mammogram tech at the local Army clinic is my sister-in-law’s boyfriend’s mother. Small world. Robin ---

My stupid clinic keeps bugging me to come in for my “Well Woman” exam. Screw that. I didn’t have one until I got pregnant and by god I’m not going to have one again if I can help it. ---

I’m waiting till there’s a blood test substitute for boobiegrams. They sound way too damn humilating and painful. ---

It’s not that they’re painful in that “Oh my god stop I’m gonna die” kind of way. It’s more like severe discomfort combined with resigned misery and vague resentment of everything in the world that doesn’t have a boob to squash. I have to go to the dentist now. I don’t want to slap him half as much. ---

It’s like that saying about the hammer and the nail – If all you have is a Mammography Machine, Everything in the World looks like a Boob. ---

Just annoying that I have to have one cycle just before my annual girly exam … Honestly, if men went through this fucking crap, they would have long ago found a way to turn it off harmlessly so that it could be turned back on for procreation when desired … and by what I and others have gone through with pregnancy, an artificial womb unit that sits on a shelf and gestates for you.
