Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

My sister has menstral migraines and her gynocologist says IUD’s really work for those. He is putting one in her tomorrow. I hope it works. She’s praying it does. Has anyone tried this before? They refuse to let her do the patch you all have tried. I think I have told you what they said [...]
