I used to see Dr. Horvat over in Siget. She’s a decent doctor—explains all the tests clearly and lets you ask whatever questions pop into your head—but the wait times are brutal; you can end up sitting there for hours just waiting for your turn. I’m planning to head over to Medicard, a private clinic, later today. I don't know much about their pricing or the specifics yet, but they told me Malčić is one of the best in the field. If he really lives up to that reputation, I won't mind paying the premium for private care to get things done right.
My OB-GYN told me to start my birth control pills on day three of my period and said they’d kick in immediately. However, the packaging says you can start anytime between day two and day five, but you need to use backup protection for the first seven days. So, does that mean they don't actually start working until after those seven days are up? I read somewhere else that they don't take effect until the next pack starts, and now I'm just totally confused.
So basically, my luck is finally turning around and things are looking up for me, thank God.☕ I really don't want to end up looking like a hairy man at the end of this.😢 Also, does it cause weight gain? It doesn't say anything about that, and honestly, that's the last thing I need right now...
I just brought him my standard blood work results and asked about birth control, so he prescribed those. I'm also dealing with hair thinning, so I was thinking about checking my hormone levels on my own, though my gynecologist never mentioned needing those specific tests. All the girls who see him say he’s amazing, so I’m praying he actually knew what he was doing when he wrote this prescription... but what kind of side effects am I looking at?
My gynecologist prescribed Diane without even running any preliminary tests—it’s basically my first round of birth control pills. Now I'm wondering, since I already deal with pretty heavy hair growth, is this actually going to make things worse? The box claims it won't increase hair growth, but I'm not sure I trust their word one bit.🤷
A few days ago, my boyfriend did digital penetration (only the second time this has ever happened to me). At first, it felt fine, but then things started hurting, and by the next day, I noticed some swelling in my vulva area. Everything seemed to settle down by that evening—the swelling went down and the pain subsided—but I’m a bit thrown off because I didn't have this reaction the first time. My OBGYN appointment isn't for another month, and honestly, I'm worried about this happening again next time. Does anyone know of any preventive measures or things I can do beforehand?
