Are you talking about those weight loss pills? Because I am actually talking about birth control 🙂 I think we had a bit of a misunderstanding here.... Look, I’ve been hitting the gym and eating clean, but I’m curious if dropping more than 10 pounds makes any difference when it comes to staying on the same dosage...
So, I’m heading to a private specialist this summer—Dr. Miller—right in the heart of downtown near Union Square. To be honest, he’s about 70, but the man is a top-tier expert. My mom and a bunch of her friends all go to him. He’s careful, keeps things discrete, and actually walks you through everything he’s doing while he’s "working." You can ask him anything, really—like getting a full checkup plus a pelvic exam, blood pressure, breast exam, and a PAP test. I think he charged about $83 for the whole thing, and I had my results in just three days. Honestly, you feel great afterward; there’s zero shame involved, just a really comfortable experience, haha. Highly recommend.
If you’re dealing with what looks like a yeast infection—think mild or intense itching, thick discharge, or redness... you absolutely need to get to a gynecologist so they can run a swab test. I’ve been through this myself. We were always using condoms, so there was no way it came from my partner; it just popped up out of nowhere. My doctor explained that it’s actually a fungus that naturally lives inside our bodies, but things go south when there's an overgrowth caused by stuff like a weakened immune system, stress, sweating too much, wearing cheap synthetic underwear, or even just poor hygiene... Basically, your own body "produces" it. You usually get a seven-day treatment plan involving things like suppositories, antiseptic washes, or creams, and then you're good to go. Just make sure you hold off on having sex while you're undergoing the treatment. It isn't considered contagious.
So, look, I’ve been on Yasmin for about five months now and honestly, I haven't had any issues at all—no side effects or anything weird. My blood pressure is perfect, too, but I’ve put on about 5 pounds, and I really want to drop around 15. My OB-GYN told me that if a woman gains more than 10 pounds while on the pill, she shouldn't be using it anymore (apparently it's some metabolic thing, blah blah, I don't know...)
But here's my question: what happens if a girl actually loses 10 pounds or more? Like, is it actually possible to lose weight without feeling "scared" while on them, and can you just keep taking them normally? I'm going to ask my doctor at my next appointment, but I wanted to hear your thoughts and see if anyone has dealt with this. Thanks 😉
