S: Hi everyone H: Hi
S: Welcome to Squirmy and Grubs, the Youtube channel about love, laughter, light
S: And snack food H: That really sums it up
S: That's pretty much our channel
S: Today we're gonna talk about, kind of private..
H: I was gonna say, today we're gonna give you way too much information
S: We go into some videos like really hesitant or like, is this too much?
H: Yeah, is this weird? S: Are we oversharing?
S: But when we look back at other times when we were just totally honest
S: About what was going on H: Yeah
S: And people seemed to really appreciate that, so
H: Yeah, when we feel hesitant we look back on what we posted like two years ago
H: And we're like wow, we're trying to keep a level filter of how much we're sharing
S: So, couple months ago we had a pregnancy scare, and I don't like the word scare
S: Because it wasn't like we were like NOOOO H: Yeah [laughs]
S: That sounds like we were terrified H: But this is just, it's a phrase
S: It is a phrase H: And I think we talked about this in the video
S: I think we briefly mentioned it H: I think we did
H: But we can't remember which video it's in, we don't know exactly how much we shared
H: It's hard to remember when something happened to you and you told someone about it
H: It's hard to remember exactly what you said, so we're not sure
H: How much we shared last time S: How much we may have told you
H: Yeah, but we're gonna talk about it more
S: Because it's in a way, kind of still an ongoing question mark for Hannah
H: Well.. Both: We'll get into it
S: We might still be pregnant H: Nope
[Intro song] Hello, hello, welcome to the show, welcome to the show
Welcome to the show, it's time to talk about our lives [Chloe bark]
S: Okay, so before we go any further, Hannah and I were just talking about
S: Our recollection of the last year H: Yeah, it's a blur
S: Turns out back in May we had a pregnancy scare
H: That's the one we talked about in the video
S: That's the one we mentioned H: Because that was a big one
H: That was like oh my god, and that one I was only 3 days late on my period
H: But we had reason to believe that I could have been pregnant
H: So we bought pregnancy tests, took them, I wasn't pregnant
H: So that was what we discussed in the video
H: And I don't know if we gave you all that information
S: Yeah H: But that's what happened in May
S: Yes H: Or like in June
S: And those were a few days of like oh boy this is about to happen
H: This is it, yeah
S: The one that we're gonna tell you about now was a more recent incident
H: Yes S: But one that's not entirely resolved yet
S: So we'll get into that H: Yes
S: Before we do that, we have a very relevant sponsor, so we'll thank them now
H: I love when we fade out and fade back in and we're in the exact same spot
S: We need to put something a bit more, we need some B-roll in there
H: It's like now let's thank our sponsor, then it's just us
S: They expect it to fade in and we're like on the roof or like
S: Literally anywhere not in the same position H: Anywhere not exactly where we just were
S: Anyway we'd now like to thank Simple Health for sponsoring this video
H: Simple Health is a birth control subscription service that helps make birth control affordable
H: And accessible to anyone who needs it S: Yeah they have this online system
S: Where you go on, pick from...I mean they have like every type of birth control
S: And what's the other thing called? H: The ring? Patch? There's lots of stuff
S: I'm learning! But you pick what you want, you get a doctor that reviews your case
S: Thoroughly, so it's very safe H: Yep
S: And then they ship it to your door regularly
S: For way cheaper than you can get it other places
H: When I was on birth control I would often miss days
H: Because I would forget to renew my prescription
H: So this takes care of that problem, they ship it to your door regularly
H: And you don't have to worry about taking the initiative every month
S: I remember when we lived in our first apartment, this is like every month
S: You would be like Shane, I just realized I have no more pills left
S: Uhhh so we're gonna miss a few days H: Yeah, mmhmm
H: Don't miss your chance to try Simple Health and get your complete care fee waived
H: You can go to simplehealth.com/squirmyandgrubs or you can use our code Squirmyandgrubs
S: We'll put that info in the description box below
S: Remember Simple Health is not a replacement for seeing your doctor reuglarly
S: Getting all your check ups, tests, still do that, very important
S: But they can make accessing birth control easier, more convenient
S: And more affordable, so check them out
H: Wow, we really could not have picked a better sponsor for this video, wow
S: Thank you again Simple Health!
S: Alright, do you want to explain what's been going on? I'm just gonna leave
H: Yes, so to begin, this is really TMI, I haven't had my period since October
H: It is now almost February S: Yes
S: So many eyebrows just went uhhh H: Spoiler, I'm not pregnant
H: Because I took a pregnancy test S: Like multiple
H: But lets go back to November when I hadn't had my period in like 3 weeks
S: Yes H: We were like uh oh
S: We were like again, really?
H: Yeah, I mean it wasn't a couple of days, a couple of days in I was like hmm
H: And then, you know...and I had just stopped birth control in..
H: I guess it was almost a year ago now S: Yeah
H: And I was fairly regular for a while and then--so I didn't expect this
H: And then in October it just disappeared
S: This time we were a little bit like, mad at ourselves or like disappointed
S: Because when it occurred we were at a point in our life
H: When what occurred? S: The scare
H: Okay, uh huh
S: We were kind of on agreement that we're not doing this right now
H: Yeah
S: And so we were a little disappointed that we didn't follow our own rules
S: As best as we should H: Yeah
S: And we were kind of like, come on we've already gone through this once
S: Like we know better than this we need to be more careful
H: Yeah S: Yeah, so that's all just to say
S: That was another adult moment where we were like, let's be smarter here
H: Yeah, so after a couple weeks we bought pregnancy tests, I'm not pregnant
H: And then I was like oh so it's only been 3 weeks, I'm sure I'll get my period soon
H: And then, you know, weeks went by, months went by
S: Well you were sure, you were like I am not pregnant I promise you
H: Yeah S: I feel absolutely nothing different
S: And I think I, a month or two in, was like please just buy more tests
H: Yeah, we did do it twice S: Yeah
H: I did it a couple weeks in and then we were like, I still haven't gotten it
H: And it's been like 6 weeks, so we did it again but I'm not pregnant
H: And so now, I will eventually-- I mean not eventually, I will go to the doctor soon
H: When we get back to Minnesota S: Yeah
H: Because that's not normal S: Is it something that's worrying you?
S: Are you thinking about it? H: No, I'm really not stressed about it
H: I have other things to worry about
S: I think I'm thinking about it way more than you are
H: Are you really?
S: Well every day I ask you like, did you get it?
H: I love not having my period, I mean I'm sure it's not a good reason
H: But I really don't care, no it doesn't make me worry
S: Do you have theories in your research about what it could be?
S: Or don't you want to talk about that?
H: No, I mean I know that periods can be irregular when you stop birth control
H: It's just weird to me that it was regular and then eight months in
H: became irregular, I don't know if that can still be related
H: I mean it can be, so maybe it's that. S: Yeah
H: Otherwise I've been on birth control for most of my ovulating years
H: There was a couple years obviously at the beginning of my period
H: When I wasn't on birth control S: Yeah
H: But I don't remember what those were like
H: And the first couple years of your period isn't indicative
H: Of the rest of your life anyway, so since I was like 16
H: I haven't had a period without birth control
H: So I don't know what's normal for me, so I'm not really worried
S: Is that a thing, that people could just like not have them for 4 months?
H: I don't know, I mean yeah I know people have that
H: But that might not be that that's why-- especially if we want to get pregnant
H: That's not a good--like you need a period to get pregnant obviously
S: Yeah, so I guess in terms of an update something that we are working on
S: Is getting Hannah to see a doctor to figure out what's been going on
H: Yeah, I think it's also a good reminder to not ask people, like
H: When are you gonna have babies? S: Yeah
H: Why aren't you getting pregnant? and stuff, because it doesn't bother me right now
H: Like at all, and it doesn't bother Shane either
H: But other people that you could be asking could be facing issues
H: That they can't have children right now, so S: Yeah
H: People ask us all the time why we haven't, when we're gonna have them
H: Are we trying and stuff, and like right now I literally can't get pregnant
H: Because there's no periods, so
S: Also just another thing, people often assume that I am not gonna be able
S: To have children H: Yeah
S: So they often say like, why would she be with him?
S: He's robbing her of being able to have kids
H: Yeah S: Because they assume that I can't
S: But remember there's a million different reasons why any two people may not
S: be able to have kids H: Yes
S: So just something to keep in mind H: Good things to keep in mind
S: Look we've turned this into an educational little lesson here
H: I felt that responsibility
S: So yeah, we had a scare back in October November
H: Yes S: The scare never really ended
H: Because now we have a different kind of scare, like why is there no period
S: It won't be a million percent over for me until I get like--
H: Nine months have gone by? And then you're like okay there's for sure no baby
S: [laughs]
S: But yeah we're gonna figure it out H: And that'll be a new mini series
H: It'll be my trip to the doctor S: Do you remember Hannah's lump?
S: From back in the day? H: My lump
S: Hannah had this weird lump in her neck for like months and months
S: It would like come and go H: Yeah
S: And we updated everyone on Youtube about that when that was happening
H: Yeah S: So now we have a new saga
H: Yeah, and then my stomach issues S: They're probably all interconnected
S: That's gonna be the ultimate conclusion is like, some doctor's gonna be like
S: Wait you had a lump, stomach issues H: You had a lump on your neck?
S: And no period for four months? [laughs] H: Oh lord
S: You have SMA! Alright let's just end with that
H: No no no no, I hate when I do that on camera
S: So that's what's been going on H: Yep
S: We'll let you know what happens H: We will
S: Bye H: Bye
