I am seriously looking forward to this movie! The first one is hands down my favorite animated film of all time. It’s got such an incredible story paired with just the right amount of action and humor 😍

Even though I doubt I'll be catching it in theaters, I’ll probably be the only one there who isn't accompanied by parents 🤣

Hi there,
A few days ago, I experienced my first fainting spell. I was out with some friends, hadn't been drinking, and we weren't in a crowded or stuffy room—plus, I had eaten well that day (if that makes any difference). I felt absolutely wonderful all evening, but then suddenly, I felt this brief flash of heat. The next thing I remember is just sitting on a wall, surrounded by my friends. They told me that I simply collapsed onto the ground and was unconscious for about five minutes, so they had to carry me outside. Once I came to, I actually felt fine, 🤷 though I do have a bump on my forehead from the fall.

Should I be worried and go see a doctor, or is this not really that serious?
Thanks so much for your help.

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone else has noticed an impact on their hair quality while taking the pill?
Basically, I’m not sure if it’s just a coincidence, but ever since I started birth control, I’ve been experiencing more hair shedding. On top of that, I have naturally curly hair, but lately, my curls seem to be losing their pattern and becoming much straighter. 🤷

I’m really not sure what the underlying cause might be. Has anyone else here dealt with similar changes while on hormonal contraceptives?

I wanted to ask you all: is it actually necessary to take a break between packs of contraceptive pills? I’ve been on Brala for about a year and a half now, and when I consulted my doctor, she told me there’s no need to pause. Honestly, that caught me a bit off guard. Since I primarily take them to manage PCOS, the idea of using them continuously for years on end makes me a little nervous.

Does anyone here have experience with this? Is continuous use generally recommended? Should I perhaps seek out a second opinion?

The biggest mistake you could make with this movie is taking it too seriously.
My partner and I watched it for Valentine's Day, expecting some kind of zombie version of Twilight, and we were pleasantly surprised.
It’s got this great mix of humor and a laid-back vibe, all wrapped up in a romantic theme. Plus, the soundtrack is fantastic and there are some genuinely hilarious moments. We mostly viewed it as a parody rather than a serious drama, which is probably why we enjoyed it so much.
Anyway, I’d definitely recommend it if you have a lazy summer afternoon to kill—you won't regret it.

Hi everyone, I’m currently on my 9th pack of birth control pills. Since I haven't been sexually active this month, I accidentally missed two pills last week right before starting my break.🙄
I know, it was pretty irresponsible of me, but it just happened.

However, when my break finally arrived, I didn't experience any breakthrough bleeding. Could that be linked to those missed doses, or is it something I should actually worry about? Given that I haven't had sex, I'm ruling out pregnancy.
Usually, my cycles have been very regular while on the pill. 🤷
