Busy 😢 Anyone else still around? 🤔

Hey, does anyone have a solid recommendation for a photographer? I’m looking for someone who actually values those raw, spontaneous shots rather than just posing everyone like mannequins. 🤦

Man, this is just absolutely terrifying 😲

Honestly, I have no clue what I’d even do in this situation—I’m pretty sure I’d just have a total nervous breakdown right then and there!

As for La Perla over in Sierra, all I ever hear is people raving about it, but I’ve always been a bit skeptical about those kinds of things—especially when you start hearing rumors about potential knockoffs.

*Yasmin

And yeah, this is specifically directed at Yasmin 🤔

I’ve been on Yaz for about three years now, and honestly, I’m starting to look at my bank account and wonder if I can switch to something a bit more budget-friendly. But my gynecologist—who, let’s be real, can be pretty stubborn once they set their mind on a specific brand—keeps insisting that these are the absolute best option out there. Has anyone here actually made the jump from Yaz to something else? Just so you know, I’m taking them specifically to manage endometriosis.

Hey, I need some advice. I’m 22, currently taking birth control pills to manage endometriosis, and I also have some mild varicose veins. The issue is that lately, my legs have been aching—they’re starting to feel really heavy 😢. Now I’m sitting here wondering if I should be freaking out about this, because every time I turn around, I’m reading horror stories about blood clots forming. Right now I’m stuck in St. Louis, and honestly, things are a total mess here—there’s this endless strike going on that’s basically paralyzed everything, so I don't even know what my options are. I have to keep taking these pills until I can finally get in for a laparoscopy, but I’ve got this nagging feeling that they might actually be making my vein situation worse 😢.

What kind of regular checkups do you guys actually bother doing while you’re on the pill? I’m just trying to figure out if they’ve done any damage to me after five months of taking them—I did get my blood work done back in month seven and everything came back totally fine, but is it too early to go back in for another round of tests? Honestly, all those scary warnings about side effects and long-term consequences have me feeling pretty anxious about it.😢

I’m taking this medication to keep my endometriosis under control—currently on my fourth pack, down to the very last pill—and over the past week, I’ve been dealing with some mild spotting. It’s the kind of discharge I used to get right before my period back when I wasn't on these pills. Is this actually normal? Because I definitely didn't have this happening during the previous packs.😢

Hey everyone, so I’m officially starting Yaz today—first time on birth control—because my doctor wants me to manage some endometriosis issues. But, ugh, I’ve completely lost the plot here because I just noticed these weird broken capillaries—or spider veins, or whatever they actually are—on my right leg. They're like little purple branches, maybe 2cm long, spreading out all over the place. Now I'm spiraling a bit and wondering if it's even safe to start the pill with this going on. Does anyone have any clue if this is a dealbreaker? 🙏

I’ve got an endometriotic cyst measuring about 3.5cm, and because life just keeps getting in the way with everything we have going on, we’ve decided to push back the laparoscopy for about nine months. My OB-GYN prescribed Yaz pills to manage things, but I haven't actually started taking them yet. Tomorrow morning, I have to get my liver enzymes checked, along with a few other tests, just to see if I'm even cleared to start the medication. But lately, I’ve been wondering if there might be some underlying hormonal imbalance at play—specifically because I’ve started breaking out with acne strictly on the right side of my face. My doctor says it’s probably not a hormonal issue since my cycles are regular, but I can't help feeling suspicious. If it turns out I *do* have a hormonal imbalance, should I be asking for full hormone panel testing before I commit to the birth control?

Anyone else? 😢
