And what about someone in Chicago? (for the millionth time)

Anyone know a solid OB-GYN or clinic over in the Osijek area? I'm looking for recommendations—doesn't matter if they take insurance or if it's private practice. Just need someone good.

I don't get how you, being such an experienced lady, can be this clueless.

I mean, everyone’s got their own way of doing things, right?😁

Look, I've got
two hands
two feet
and two heads
👋

Wait, I actually thought the math worked like this:
two hands
two feet
one head
one tail😁
That equals six, which would mean you've got seven limbs total, not six!😛

Sia said:What about those pillows they were advertising on your TV a few years back? You know, the ones with the magnets? Do they actually work?

well...they sold out. 😁

steelsailor17 said:Look, if that’s the name you’re obsessed with, fine.
Call it whatever you want.
🙂 😁 😛 👍

So which one is actually number five then? 😕

steelsailor17 said:Does anyone else have this weird style going on?
Besides the usual four-pointed star, mine’s got five points. 🙂
Or maybe six, honestly I don't even know what counts as a point anymore. 😂

So you've got a tail too😂 ?

boldeagle3 said:A few months back, I finally moved out of my parents' place. Since then, my boyfriend's been lugging around this super thin, soft pillow—it’s basically nothing, really—so I find myself sleeping on his most of the time lately.😍

on the deck? 😁
😉

Betty Rivera14 said:Man, we've been down this road before... endless debates about this exact thing.

If someone isn't dealing with actual issues, I don't see why they'd even bother with those specialty pillows.

So, you got any issues? Like, does sleeping without a pillow actually "bother" you?

Rachel Brooks63 said:Yeah, the cervical spine definitely needs some kind of "support."

So, does a regular little pillow actually do anything, or am I stuck buying one of those fancy medical orthopedic ones??

Rachel Brooks63 said:Ugh, I’d love to break it down for you guys if I actually knew how. Some orthopedic surgeon explained it to me once, but honestly, I don't remember every single detail—and I definitely don't want some doctor calling me out for being wrong. There’s probably an explanation floating around somewhere online; I'll try to hunt it down.

For sure, if you track down an answer, just drop it here.

Did that specialist ever mention if sleeping without a pillow is even healthy in the first place?

Olivia Kim47 said:I mean, I’ve honestly never heard anyone say sleeping on your stomach is actually bad for your lower back...?

Rachel Brooks63 said:Either because of its shape it makes it impossible for me to sleep on my stomach (which, as most of you probably know, is basically death for your spine and lower back), or because my neck feels totally reborn.

Seriously though, Rachel Brooks63, walk us through it... why is stomach sleeping supposedly so bad for the spine? Because I’ve definitely never heard that one before............

dustycanyon6 said:Wait, hold up... how are you even sleeping then? On your back? Side? What's happening with your neck position?

I mean, what do you mean "how"? I’m a total stomach sleeper. It’s the easiest way for me to pass out. Why though??!!

Lisa Barrett22 said:I’ve got the thinner one now—maybe around 4 inches—and it’s firmer. Honestly, it’s perfect.

What do you mean by "thinner"? Like, is it some specific medical grade thing or an orthopedic model or what?

So, are you guys pillow people or what? Personally, I don’t need one at all—honestly, they kind of get in my way. I haven't used one for years. If I do end up with one, it's usually just some tiny little thing, but even then, I find myself instinctively shoving it away in my sleep and waking up totally flat.

What I’m really wondering about is how healthy it actually is to just sleep on the mattress without any pillow at all. I’ve heard it’s perfectly fine, but then again, if it’s actually bad for me, what kind of pillow should I be looking for? Something small? Something big?

I mean, let's be real, the head is going to be in an awkward position whether there's a pillow there or not... so, what's the move? What's actually best for the neck?

Where are the mods at? Can someone please just scrub this garbage from the board already? Seriously, what a joke.
😲 😲 😲 😲 😲

steelfalcon98 said:Thanks, it really helps to have some comfort. It makes things feel a bit easier. At least in here. You wouldn't believe how many of us there actually are. 🙂

steelfalcon98, have you tried drinking tea? I'm feeling 👍 right now, and I've got a follow-up appointment at the Garrison clinic next week.

I don't really feel anything anymore, except... well, I wanted to ask you guys—specifically those dealing with bacterial infections, not yeast—have you ever felt this weird sensation on the left side of your abdomen? It’s not even real pain, just this slight pulling or tightness somewhere near the ovary... My doctor told me it's because of the bacteria, but honestly... I'm skeptical.

Anyone else dealt with that?

Megan Peterson87 said:The easiest way to pick up a UTI is basically just bad hygiene—like wiping from back to front when you go, or switching from anal to vaginal or oral sex without cleaning up first. It’s all about those bacteria traveling from the wrong spot straight into the urogenital system, or even worse, ending up in your mouth. Honestly, unless it's absolutely necessary, it's probably not the best idea to let a partner go from licking your ass to licking your clit.
You can also catch certain fungal infections if your partner doesn't brush their teeth before giving you oral (or at least swish some bourbon around first). But most of the time, you can clear out fungal stuff with a quick one-off treatment like Monistat. Just make sure your partner gets treated too, especially if they've got an infection on their dick.👍

Megan Peterson87, you are 😂 , and this part right here:

Megan Peterson87 said:or at least swish some bourbon around first

😂

We all know the rest, but I definitely didn't know about the bourbon trick. 😁

Zachary Bennett7 said:I don't know, maybe she should run some tests to see what's actually going on with her hormones.
but whatever, it doesn't really matter right now. I'll find out what the deal is in two weeks.

Wait, what does that have to do with birth control? I think you mentioned pills earlier?

Yeah, honestly, she probably should get some bloodwork done to figure out the hormone situation.

Zachary Bennett7 said:Does anyone actually know how you treat this? Like, do you need blood work done before they even think about prescribing pills?

Wait, what? How exactly are you planning to "treat" irregular periods😁 , like an unbalanced cycle?!
Hold up, you're seriously looking to pop pills (and honestly, don't get me started on the whole "pill vs. tablet" debate, go check out 😛 that other thread
)??????

You want to take meds... and get blood tests... oh boy... someone please break it down for her, because I was completely lost 😕
