I’m at Blogalicious!  I’m very excited to be here!  This is #Blogalicious9 and my first time attending.  I’ve been posting everything on my Instastories.  So if you’re not following me there now is the time!  I’ve done a tour of the hotel and the Blogalicious hall.  I’m working with the good people of Blogalicioius so I’ll be a little of everywhere.  During my recent visit to New York for theCurvycon and New York Fashion Week I connecting with the Macy’s plus size team.  So you’ll be seeing some products from the Macy’s plus section on the blog.

The first Macy’s item I’m sporting is this super cute Levi’s Plus Size Graphic Logo T-Shirt .  Macy’s carries a large selection of Levi’s items in plus size.  There are Levi’s topsjackets, shorts, and of course jeans.  I know many don’t know that Levi’s even has plus sizes.  So it’s great that Macy’s offers so much to choose from.

As far as Day 1 of Blogalicious.  It was pretty chill for me.  I spent the morning taking pictures in and of the hotel.  I helped out at two sections.  The rest of my time was spent catching up with other bloggers I know from online or with my roommate Ashley.

My Cycle Isn’t Regular & I’m O.K. With That!!!

In this blog post,  I’m talking about how my cycle isn’t regular & I’m o.k. with that!!!  Keep reading to see how I’m dealing with menstrual issues.

I can wear white!, menstrual cycle, uterine fibroids, “While what characterizes a “normal” period can vary, experts agree:  If you think your period is a problem, you should talk with a doctor about evaluation and treatment.” _Change The Cycle

I’m super excited to be attending Blogalicious in Miami this October.  This is my first time attending this Stacey Ferguson led blogging conference.  I spent the weekend catching up on all the conferences emails to make sure I don’t miss a thing.  This year’s conference theme is #TribeUp.
Blogalicious will focus on this topic and hopefully be paramount in any tribe building journey.  “We’ve put hundreds of hours into cultivating a space for you to do this and more.  What’s great about our network is that they believe the same foundation – that tribes are important to almost every aspect of our lives.”  We’ve asked our Blogalicious Weekend 2017 Speakers to share what #TribeUp means to them.

Blogalicious did a call for people to speak about issues they have with their cycle.  I was honestly was fearful to share my issue that publicly.  I’m now very upset with myself for not offering my story.

I’ve had irregular menstrual cycles for about 20 years now.  Missed period started at the age of 18/19 years old.  Because my mother really didn’t speak to me about “getting my period” beyond using a pad I really didn’t have an understanding of how regular I should be.  I started going to my local Planned Parenthood and a nurse there offered my education on that.

Fast forward to 2010 I started having blood clots so big I could feel them passing through.  I had so much pain I wouldn’t be able to get out of bed.  At times I would have to wear a super tampon and overnight pad just to go to work.  I would have to change so many times I lose count.  I ended up having a D & C to relieve the issue I was having with uterine fibroids.  I was placed on birth control to regulate my cycle.

Every women’s issues are different so it’s very important that you seek help from a medical professional.  Preventive care is the key!  Many insurance companies currently cover services like a pap smear and breast exams at no change under the affordable care act aka Obamacare.  Or you can go to places like planned parenthood for these types of services for no to little cost.

I can wear white!!!

Sometimes I laugh to keep from breaking down.  Sometimes I think to myself “Why is this happening to me?”  I’ve found the more I talk to other women about my menstrual issue I find that I’m truly not alone.  In speaking out I discovered my sister, cousin, and a lot of my friends have this issue as well.  Problems with my cycle is now not an “It’s only me issue.”  Women I know of all sizes, shapes, ages, and races have a similar issue too!  I’m so happy for the support of my tribe I ok with sharing my story.

The good people of Change The Cycle will be hosting a super important discussion about a topic that continues to plague so many of us.  Saturday, Oct. 7th during the Blogalicious.  I’m going to live stream the discussion on Facebook.  You can find it here.  Turn on your notification so you won’t miss it!
