And I’m gonna go ahead and ask them, because honestly, knowing how stubborn I can be, I’m probably gonna try it anyway. Even if it blows up in my face, I guess I won't really believe it until I experience it firsthand.🙂

Oh man, don't scare me like that... I’m actually about to start on Yazmin, just waiting for my period to show up first. My skin is looking totally flawless right now and I keep telling myself it's fine—I mean, it can't just go south overnight, right? But I guess I have to admit I'm a little nervous. I really want to go with Yazmin because they're supposed to be the mildest option, and honestly, I just need something to regulate my cycle and clear up my complexion. I really don't want to start putting on weight (because I seriously don't need that) or deal with any weird side effects...

So, during that seven-day break, what’s the deal? Like, are the pills enough to keep things protected, or do you actually need to use some kind of physical barrier too? I'm super new to all this, and honestly, if you gotta ask, you probably shouldn't be doing it without being sure, I guess. 🙂

So, I was wondering—can you take other meds while on birth control? I’m currently on Yasmin, but I also have this habit of taking those metabolism support capsules (like Tonalin), and now I’m totally stuck on whether I should keep going with them or not... Any advice?

Nah, I heard it from someone who was actually right there when it happened.

redtinker21 said:So... can anyone recommend a decent dermatologist in Washington, D.C.? Also, I'd love to hear if anyone has actually had a good experience with them.
Hey there! 😁DD

I’ve had an awesome experience with Dr. Masnec over on Vinogradski, so I definitely recommend her.

placidjackal36 said:No way. That's just a straight-up lie.

Look, I'm just telling you what I heard firsthand...

I saw a similar story on CNN where this girl was eating up to nine times a night. Honestly, maybe try locking yourself in your room and hiding the key? Like, if you can't get out, maybe you'll just give up on the urge... I don't know, that's just the first thing that popped into my head if I were in your shoes.🙂

she woke up with white roots... and this lady usually has hair as black as midnight...
I guess anything can happen these days

I actually heard this story about a guy who had a bullet fly under his pillow while he was sleeping, and he went totally gray in a split second... And it really happened, so I mean, anything is possible, I guess.

So, I ended up having three around 9:30 this morning, and I’ve still got another three lined up for 9:30 tonight. Honestly, I can't really say I'm feeling any major side effects, though my stomach is acting up a bit. But then again, my stomach's been bothering me for like three days already, so I'm guessing it probably isn't even from this...

Totally, I get that. But I just can't risk anything right now. I'll admit I messed up, and honestly, I'm way too young to be dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. Thanks so much for everything! :*

Donna Cooper98 said:Maybe it’s just psychological, or maybe you ate something bad or just had way too much junk food... I don't know, I'm sorry, it's hard to say for sure.

I get it, but thanks anyway. You definitely calmed me down a bit, so I guess I'll head out to grab the morning-after pill tomorrow... But, uh, do you happen to know what the side effects are? Like, will I still get my period even though yesterday was my last day? I heard some girls deal with nausea and dizziness too...

Donna Cooper98 said:What kind of stomach ache?

I don't know, honestly. Right now it just feels like a typical, sneaky little stomach ache—nothing super intense, but it's definitely there. I guess I'm not sure if it's just my anxiety since I've been stressing about this all day, or maybe it's an actual stomach thing. I don't even know what to think anymore...

Donna Cooper98 said:Look, nobody here can give you a definitive answer.
I mean, why? Because according to what they teach you in school, you aren't supposed to, but school is one thing and real life—especially when it comes to women—is another. I actually ended up pregnant right around that age myself. 🤷 Anyway, have you been tracking your basal body temperature or anything like that for the last 6 months or maybe a year?
If you have, then I might be able to help. If not, I'm sorry, but even with all my experience and training, I wouldn't dare give you any advice without that info.

No, I haven't, mostly because, honestly, I never thought this would actually happen to me. I'm heading to the doctor tomorrow to get emergency contraception; they told me I have a 72-hour window to take the first dose. Also, does anyone know if stomach pains could be related to this? I know this isn't really the place for that kind of stuff, but I just need to vent a little since I've already been so careless... 😢

Hey everyone! So, I wanted to pick your brains about fertile windows and all that. Basically, yesterday was the last day of my period, and I ended up sleeping with my boyfriend without protection. Since my cycle has been pretty much on schedule for the last three months, I guess I'm wondering—could those be my fertile days?
