It is. My daughter and I tend to be on the same schedule.
For quite a few years I have been as regular as clockwork (28 days, to the minute) just on my own (no birth control or anything. I had my tubes tied 10 years ago). Then, at the end of July I started a few days early and my period started again on Aug 21...just 21 days later. I am wondering if this is permanent or just something that happened because Hannah (my daughter) was away for the month.

opinionista:
I shave my legs and armprits quite regularly. My sister says I am obsessed. She only shaves during the summer, the rest of the year, she doesn't bother. But I do it anyway, regardless of the season. As for my period, I am very regular. Sometimes, I get it a few days ahead. I'm rarely late. Curiously enough, the few times I have been late, I happened to have a boyfriend, and I really thought I was pregnant. But luckily for me it was a false alarm, both times.
Kelda:
Oh, I'm a stickeler for armpit hair - almost every day - even to the point that I get the tweezers out to catch the few little stray hairs not caught by the razor.
Legs, as I say not so much - leg shaving is a weekend job most of the time!
I have had my eyebrows waxed once and it was an amzing difference - when I see photos of myself before hand I think my eyebrows look ridiculous! And since that one wax, I ahve kept my eyebrows in chgeck with tweezers.
My top lip, I bleach.
And my bikini area. well I had it waxed for the first time last year ready for my summer holiday and I wasn't too impressed, and reverted back to shaving. But i think the girl might not have been very good. I may give it another try just before I go away in 2 weeks,... but LADIES! here is a question.... What is the best time before you go away on hol to get that done, too long and the hairs are coming back, too short and you look and feel like a plucked chicken 'down there'. :laugh:
shortfiction:
Waxing hurts a lot the first time you do it, but much less on subsequent visits. I have to get my underarms and lower legs waxed roughly every 3 weeks.
Ladies: would you recommend a Tylenol the next time I get a mammo? As you well know, it hurts so freaking bad to get that done! Same question for the pelvic exam/PAP. They were unable to complete it the last time I was supposed to have one done. It is so painful.

I have never found a mammogram painful, but if you do, maybe a Tylenol would help. Or a glass of wine! I would also explain to the tech beforehand that you have had a bad experience with painful mammos so that s/he is aware of how much compression is being used.
Likewise, a pelvic exam should not be that painful. Talk to the practitioner, explain about your last experience. S/he should be able to help you breathe and relax. Sometimes they'll warm the speculum, too, that can help.
