Ah! Finally. The Red Army is gleefully marching along, and I feel so much better. Like a new woman.
No spotting this cycle, once the surgical aftermath had passed!
The small victories.

I'm glad the surgery seems to have made a difference! That is most excellent.
we must celebrate every victory in this battle, they are so few and far between. ~luna
HURRAY!! One small step for Shinejil, one giant step toward a new successful cycle!
All hail the Red Army! May it push through quickly and leave little in its wake.
Yay relief! Hopefully the march will be a quick one and you can move on with the next cycle!
That is good news. I was really hoping surgery would be what I needed. I'm jealous.
