Well, since we’re already here... WB, Bronco, or whatever you want to call 🙂

Justin Gonzalez87, remember? You were the one who actually asked him what the heck those -------------------------- dashes in every single post were even supposed to mean.

It just had a different name back then 😉

Mr. quietfox17 categorizes every single form of contraception as a potential abortion, doesn't he, quietfox17? 🙂

Daniel Lopez said:So, how much did you actually drink today?

Forgive me, but I’ve never heard of anyone drinking more than just a second morning dose, so I’m a little stunned...

Look, I’m telling you straight... just swallow the whole box, packaging and instructions included. That’s the only way to be sure.🙄

They were too weak, you say?? Good grief, what does that even mean, that they aren't effective enough?? 😲

I’ve been on Creston for two and a half years now.

It isn't just that I NEVER forget my pill; I make sure to take them at the exact same time EVERY single day.

During an ovarian surgery, they found that I have a high number of healthy, mature follicles just waiting to release an egg.

In short—even while on birth control, I AM ovulating.

And wherever ovulation occurs, there is always a risk, however theoretical, of conception.

Morning-after pills ARE contraceptive pills. If conception has already occurred—they won't work.

They aren't abortifacients. They simply function by preventing potential fertilization or the implantation of a fertilized egg.

In any scenario, regular use is NOT RECOMMENDED because they are a total hormonal bomb.

I experienced calf cramps for the very first time two months ago, right after losing over two liters of blood... among other things. That symptom felt incredibly suspicious to me since I’ve never dealt with them before. Not even during my pregnancy.

It’s interesting how EVERY tall person I know seems to suffer from leg cramps.

Samantha Jones, if I recall correctly, you’re pretty tall yourself, aren't you?

It’s ridiculous how everyone here acts like medication is some kind of taboo.🙂

Look, I try to stick to natural remedies whenever possible, but let's be real—how are you supposed to actually function?

The way muscle pain can just derail your entire day is honestly unbelievable.

I take Myoflex two or three times a day, maybe an Advil, and follow it up with a warm bath using lavender or rosemary essential oils. Before you know it, you won't even remember what the pain felt like.😉

You know, shadowgardener12, I’ve spent way too much time obsessing over my own anatomy lately... just thinking about how my guts are laid out, wondering if my spleen is going to end up crushing my kidneys if things lose their grip, or all those gross biological processes happening inside me just to keep me breathing... honestly, there are nights I can't even sleep because I'm so repulsed by this whole mess of cells.

At some point, I just had to accept it and stop overthinking it—it’s not like I can go in there and rewire myself.

I'm glad I could help you out.🙂

It’s not nothing... I have bumps wherever they were inserted. 😢

It looks terrible... I tried every ointment under the sun, but nothing worked. They tell me these are just scars on my veins.

Yeah, that’s exactly how it goes. Completely overwhelmed—just turned upside down.

They gave me the exact same speech when I went in to have the IUD removed because I decided against getting pregnant. I was absolutely devastated.😢

What can I say? Just two months after all that, I ended up conceiving Junior.🙂

And look, it’s what it is—for the first three or four months, I dealt with intense pain until the weight of the baby finally "settled" my uterus back into its proper position.

During labor, I actually suffered a cervical tear, though the doctors told me that can happen even to women with fully developed uteri.

Regarding a resource, the best site I found was from the Harni Clinic. I don't have the direct link handy, but if you type it into a search engine, you'll find it.

It's very professional and easy to follow.

Jacob Wilson50 said:It’s impossible to perform a Nerotkinje; the substrate simply isn't spread thin enough.

Here she goes again... like I didn't already mention I had this issue before giving birth. And it’s not just that—my OB-GYN explicitly told me my uterus is underdeveloped and tilted.

That’s just a gynecologist's perspective. They're obsessed with it because, at the end of the day, it's an invasive object—higher risk of infection, blah blah blah...

Emily Anderson27 said:Going to a primary care doctor is a total waste of time. I always lose my entire morning or afternoon just sitting there waiting.

Look, if you live in the States, you actually have the right to choose your own physician. You don't even have to handle the bureaucracy yourself—you just show up at the clinic you want, tell the receptionist where you were previously seeing someone, sign a transfer form, and they handle all the paperwork for you.🙂

This goes for everyone; listen, folks, if you aren't happy with your care, switch doctors! At the end of the day, you're the one paying their bills, aren't you?

In any case, go straight to your primary care physician first.

My doctor just handed me his colleague’s number—a specialist—and I was actually in his office for an exam the very next day. My GP even has an ultrasound machine right there in the clinic.

Bottom line: take action now. Why wouldn't you want to spend the rest of the summer with some actual peace of mind?🙂

Damn thrombosis... you've got to die from something eventually.😁

Chloe Nguyen3 said:I have a question: why don't women who have already given birth use the IUD? I’m genuinely curious, so if anyone actually knows their stuff, weigh in. Also, why can't women who haven't had kids yet—but plan to—use an IUD? And what's the deal with diaphragms?🙏 🙏

Is there any reason my response shouldn't be considered valid? 😉

I used an IUD from age 21 until 24. I had it removed once I decided to have a child. So, essentially, I put it in BEFORE I gave birth.

One gynecologist refused to write me a prescription, so I went to a different doctor instead. There isn't any objective medical reason why I shouldn't be able to use an IUD before giving birth. I actually bought one myself—using a prescription from abroad—because back when we were part of the old America, that kind of device just wasn't available to us.

Exactly one year after giving birth, I went back and got my IUD put in again.

About two and a half years ago, I started taking birth control due to some hormonal issues—specifically PCOS, irregular cycles, and the severe anemia that came along with them. It was pretty foolish of me to be using both that and an IUD at the same time, so I went ahead and had the IUD removed.

I’m hitting that age where I have to start watching for perimenopause symptoms. I'm going to stick with Cilest to make sure I don't actually feel them.

As for that diaphragm gel, I’d never want it unless it was absolutely necessary. Same goes for all those vaginal foams, creams, and whatever other extra nonsense they sell. I can't stand all that prep work during sex—it’s tedious—and frankly, I wouldn't feel secure using them anyway.

That little tube you're holding is called a Braunil. It's become a common practice lately—they don't even need to hit you multiple times anymore if they require extra testing.

Steven Jones3 said:Look, you likely have uterine hyperplasia. Basically, that means the lining has become thickened.

Disorders like this happen quite frequently.

In the US, the standard procedure if symptoms persist or recur is to perform an exploratory curettage. It’s a way to be safe, and it addresses the thickened lining issue right then and there.

Casey Palmer5 said:I need to make an appointment with my OB-GYN too, but I just can't bring myself to do it. The anxiety is a real nightmare.

Fear of a checkup????

What, is your doctor going to gouge your eyes out during the exam????

Give me a break....😉

John Howard10 said:They run about $77. ( over a three-month period ) 👍

That means they're basically twice the price of standard options.😕

I'd say most birth control pills go for roughly $17.
