granitepilot5 said:So, I’ve run into a bit of a situation... I’ve been on Logest for quite some time now, and I just finished the very last pill in my pack today. Shortly after taking it, I experienced some loose stools—nothing I would call full-blown diarrhea, per se, but certainly not normal either. The package insert specifically mentions "severe diarrhea" as a concern, which wouldn't bother me much if it were true, but it also emphasizes that missing that final pill is particularly risky. So, where does that leave me?
According to the instructions, if you miss a pill during week three, you can either keep going without a break or just jump straight into the placebo interval. Since I haven't picked up my next box yet, I'm leaning toward the second option. If I go that route, would I need to start the new pack a day earlier than usual—considering today's pill might not technically "count" due to how my system reacted?
Or, is it possible to just ignore the whole thing since it wasn't a severe case of diarrhea? I'm a little stuck on what the threshold for "severe" actually implies in this context... 😁
And for context, I've been taking Logest consistently for about five years now, and everything has been perfectly fine until today.

Well, soft stools aren't exactly severe diarrhea. 🤷
I mean, "severe" would be spending half your day stuck in the bathroom—that's when you really need to worry. 😁

Honestly, I don't think you have anything to stress about. 😉
If your digestion settles down, just act like you took it. But hey, if you're still feeling uneasy, just check in with your OB-GYN or doctor and call it a day. 🙂

casualstag24 said:After a loooong time of prepping, doing my homework, and reading up on everything, I think I’ve finally decided who’s going to perform my surgery—it’s gonna be Dr. Davor Džepina!
Man... honestly, the only thing that’s actually tripping me out right now is general anesthesia. I had it once before when I got my tonsils out like 12 years ago—I'm 24 now—and from what I understand, the more times you go under and the older you get, the harder it is on your body and heart. And let's be real, especially with how things can go at some American hospitals sometimes... anything could happen, unfortunately -.-

So, even though I know nobody here can give me a definitive answer, I just need to vent for a second and maybe get some comfort—is it true that I don't really need to be scared of going under again? Like, am I okay? 😢

You shouldn't be afraid. 😉
Are you sure he only does the surgery under general anesthesia? 🤔

Harold Cook2 said:Alright, look...
So, I just started on those Adexa pills, right? Finished my first round of 21 days, and now I'm sitting here in this week-long break before I'm supposed to kick off the next cycle on December 2nd. Usually, this is when the bleeding is supposed to start, but honestly? I haven't felt even a single hint that it’s coming. Zero. Zilch. So, what happens if nothing happens? Like, can I just go ahead and start the next pack anyway?

I usually get mine around day four of the break, but look—even if you don't get it, just go ahead and start the next pack... though maybe take a pregnancy test first, just in case you actually have a reason to worry. 😉

Mark Young10 said:Man, I just want to get the surgery done...😢
but I'm only 14, so I've got two more years to wait. Ugh...--..--

Look, this isn't a place to vent about how unfair life is—it's here to actually get helpful info regarding nose surgery. I totally get that you're struggling, but you have to realize nobody is going to sit there and explain for the millionth time why you can't go under the knife just yet. 🤦
You've made it through 14 years already, two more will fly by before you know it... 🎉

briskmason42 said:It’s been 17 days since my surgery and honestly... I feel like a total pig. My nose looks so thick and swollen, and it's just constant—it really bothers me, plus that tight, pulling sensation won't quit... 🙂

LulzSec, man... patience really is a virtue. 😁
Don't even sweat it—I honestly felt like such an idiot during that first month... whenever I’d laugh, my lip would kind of hitch up weirdly, creating this strange line under my nose, and my tip felt super prominent and just... off to the touch. It was all so bizarre, but yeah—it eventually passes... 🙂

briskmason42 said:Can someone tell me why my upper lip feels a bit lifted after surgery? Like, when I put on some Chapstick and try to spread it across my lips, I feel this pulling sensation—kind of like everything is too tight. And I can actually see the area near the columella stretching 🙂 It’s driving me crazy... I'm wondering if it's because the tip is lifted too much, and if this is just going to pass?

When did you have the surgery? It’s totally normal to feel that tightness while you wait for the tip to settle down... that usually takes a bit of time to happen. 🙂

cosmicangler50 said:After 7 years, you probably should've taken a break by now, at least in my opinion. Go talk to your OBGYN. After 5 years on mine, my doctor told me to take a break, and I also had those weird discharge issues instead of a real period.2

From what I understand, they aren't even supposed to do those breaks anymore... it feels like it might actually do more harm than good, especially when you try to start back up on the pill after the hiatus, right?

Harold Cook2 said:I think it says if there are fewer than 7 left in the pack, you don't take a break. I have 7 left, so I guess the 7-day break starts now.

Yeah, that's how I read it too... 👍

Look, let’s be real for a second—everything about this whole situation just feels incredibly off. I’ve been sitting here staring at this for way too long, and honestly? It’s exhausting. People act like there’s some grand logic behind it all, but there isn't. There’s zero. It’s just noise. Just constant, grating noise designed to make you feel like you’re missing something when, in reality, there’s nothing actually there. I’m telling you, if you go looking for sense in this mess, you’re just wasting your breath. You’re just spinning your wheels in the mud while everyone else pretends they know exactly where the road is going. Newsflash: nobody knows. We’re all just stumbling around in the dark, pretending we have a flashlight. It’s a joke, really. A total, absolute circus. And frankly, I’m over it. I'm just completely done with the pretense. kaže:
Yeah, exactly. Just like that other forum regular who was here before you. Same old story. 😉
Listen, I’m only gonna say this once because I don't have the patience to repeat myself for the slow learners out there. Tips, ladies, tips! Seriously, if you aren't looking for advice, why are you even hanging around here? Get some intel, grab some pointers, just move! This isn't a social club for people waiting for things to happen to them—you gotta go out and get the goods. Move it! 🧐

So, how's the 24-hour stretch been since my last drink? Honestly, I went straight for that forgotten regular one like, thirty minutes later. Just a quick follow-up.

That’s perfect! Honestly, just double-check how many pills you have left in the pack—that way you’ll know if you need to take a break or just keep going—and you’re all set. 🙂

Harold Cook2 said:Ugh, I was on the Adexa tabs too. And yeah, the exact same thing happened to me last night—total brain fog. I was positive I popped my pill around 9 PM, but now I’m looking at the blister pack and realizing I totally missed it. What do I even do? Can I just double up and take two right now?

Yeah, seriously. It’s the exact same thing that happened to the girl before you. 😉
Check the instructions, girl—read the actual manual! 🧐

crimsonangler2 said:So I'm on Adexa, you know, doing the whole 21 days on plus a week break thing, and then yesterday I totally blanked on my pill and didn't even realize until like 24 hours later... Since I don't have the manual handy here to see what the move is, I just went ahead and took two at once, one for yesterday and one for today... I'm supposed to take my last one tomorrow and get my period on Friday, so I'm just wondering if I've completely messed everything up and if my whole cycle is gonna be all wonky now...

Hey... just so you know, those instruction manuals are actually online in PDF format if you ever need them. 😬
Here, just in case you need it again:

I think you handled it the right way, though I haven't personally been in your shoes yet. You took the missed pill immediately (even if it meant two in one day), but you really should use some extra protection for the next week, just to be safe... 🙂

The part that's tripping me up is whether you still need to take that 7-day break or not. The manual says if there are fewer than 7 pills left in the pack (counting from the one you missed), you're supposed to start a brand new pack immediately after finishing this one, which basically means skipping your period... but hey, maybe double-check that with a doctor or someone who actually knows this stuff inside and out. 😉

slydriver56 said:Could someone shoot me a DM with some rough price ranges for rhinoplasty at private clinics here in the States?
Like with Glumicic, Zambelli, Bastaic, Dr. Glusac, Kincl, or Žgaljardić?
Who would you guys recommend if I want to narrow things down—specifically slimming the nasal base and the tip area? I don't have a hump...

Why not scroll back through the older posts first? Honestly, you’re way more likely to find all those details buried in the nearly 10,000 existing posts than waiting for someone to slide into your DMs with a full breakdown. ☕

If you're feeling lazy about scrolling, just look at the right side under the page numbers, select "Search this topic," and type in whatever surgeon's name you're looking for... might be an easier way to dig it up. Good luck! 😉

ambercrane722 said:You’ve got a massive crowd eyeing your post, but nobody’s actually stepping up to talk to you... people are just lurking out of pure curiosity, I guess. You clearly aren't intense or controversial enough to actually get anyone to bother engaging with you.

You’re looking at this through a super pessimistic lens—honestly, people might just be reading and moving on because they don't want to clutter the thread with useless replies. 🤷

As for you, are you in college? Most universities have their own counseling centers on campus.
If you're looking for outside help, I can recommend one group I know: Sunlight Mental Health Services though I'm sure if you Google it, you'll find plenty of other similar organizations out there. 🙂

Daniel Harris8 said:Quick question regarding my medication—does it actually matter if I’m running about 15 to 20 minutes behind schedule with my pill?

Nah. 🙂

Rachel Anderson said:Hey everyone! I have a quick question about nose surgery... I'm scheduled for a septum deviation repair through my insurance in a few days, and the doctor mentioned he’ll be working through the nostrils—so no breaking any bone or anything like that. Honestly, I felt kind of awkward asking at the time, but could he just tweak the look of my nose while he's in there? It’s not like I have a huge hump or anything, but my profile bothers me because the tip droops down, and it really gets to me. Does anyone know if they even do those kinds of adjustments? And should I have brought this up sooner, or can I just ask him right before the procedure?

Some surgeons will, some won't... but yeah, you definitely should've brought this up earlier. From his perspective, it's not as simple as just "fixing" a deviation versus doing an aesthetic reshape too. You can't exactly show up and tell him once you're already on the operating table that you want to add a few extra tweaks to the list... that's just not how it works. Plus, if I remember correctly, they have these strict surgical schedules set in stone, so nobody can guarantee that the OR won't be booked for something else immediately after yours...

Harold Cook2 said:My situation is a bit different, though. I’ve got hypothyroidism—basically my thyroid is underactive, which usually makes me gain weight like crazy. My OBGYN actually warned me to stay on top of my weight so things don't spiral, since my thyroid issues make it way too easy to blow up.

Ah, I get you. Still, I personally think there's no need to stress too much about it... I mean, you shouldn't have to worry about gaining weight just because of an Adele song or whatever. 🙂

Harold Cook2 said:So, I officially started over at Adexom yesterday. Now I’m just sitting here wondering how this whole thing is actually gonna play out for me. Honestly? Who knows. Just one of those things where you dive in headfirst and hope the landing isn't too brutal.
Seriously though, did you guys actually let yourselves get played like that by them? Honestly, it’s pathetic. You just stood there and took it. Total sucker move.

Nah, and you won't either if you don't go overboard with the eating. 😬
I was totally expecting to gain a few pounds or deal with crazy hunger pangs—I mean, who knows—but honestly, nothing like that happened at all...🎉

Harold Cook2 said:So, which brand of birth control is actually worth it? And more importantly, what kind of side effects am I looking at? Like, give it to me straight.
I’m thinking about starting them up again these days—mostly just to get my cycle under some actual control. It’s been forever since I even touched a pill, so I’m basically a complete newbie all over again.🙂

Honestly, just scroll back through the last few pages. 😉

northernmaker84 said:Hey, does anyone know if you get a bit of a break on the price if you go back to the same surgeon for a follow-up procedure? Like, would they keep the cost the same or maybe knock a little off since they already know my history... thanks...🙂

Honestly, it just comes down to the surgeon you end up with—there isn’t really a set rule for this kind of thing... 🤷
Honestly, you should probably just give them a call yourself and double-check everything... just to be safe. 🙂

Maria Rodriguez75 said:Hey there!

I've been lurking in this thread for a while now... honestly, I finally worked up the nerve to actually go through with nose surgery. But before I pull the trigger, I really wanted to reach out and get some honest input from you guys—who is actually the best in the business?

I used to see people talking about dr. Zambelli all the time on here, but lately... nothing. It's like he vanished from the conversation. I've been thinking about booking an appointment with him, but honestly? I'm a little intimidated. Can you guys please share some more real stories about working with him? And look—I don't really care if he's the nicest guy in the world or super charming... I just need to know if he actually gets the job done...

Thanks in advance...

Wouldn't it be way easier if you just used the search bar to look through the thread?... 🤔
I wonder if anyone who actually went under the knife with dr. Cikojević a long time ago is still hanging around this thread... If they are, they probably already shared their story and moved on anyway...
