I hope I made myself clear 😁
Thanks, you did🙂
I'm just wondering what kind of special packaging is required for a banknote? Can I just toss it in a yellow bubble mailer?
I’m looking to mail a book—it weighs about 2 lbs. What’s the best way to ship this? thanks
Hey... hi Sandra Anderson31, I just caught your question. My cyst was 7 cm when they found it. When I first got diagnosed, it was only 3 cm, but it just kept growing until it hit that 7 cm mark. At that point, the doctors decided a traditional open surgery was the best move since they couldn't get it out via laparoscopy. Honestly, with the classic approach, I felt much more confident that they actually cleared all those lesions off my ovary.
The other day I went to the UPS Store to drop off a package. I’d gone through the trouble of putting everything in a shoebox and wrapping it neatly in white paper, but the clerk told me that wasn't acceptable. She ended up re-wrapping the whole thing in that standard brown kraft paper. Honestly, what is the actual difference between white and brown wrapping paper?
redgardener5 said:I’m starting to feel like a broken record here. But hey, let's review the material anyway.
Yasmin has been the go-to oral contraceptive lately, but statistically speaking, it carries the highest risk for side effects—specifically when you factor in things like thromboembolism.
Yasmin contains 3 mg of drospirenone (a type of progesterone) and 0.03 mg of ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen). For context, Logest uses 0.02 mg of ethinyl estradiol, while Diane35, Cilest, Trinovum, and Triquilar all sit around the 0.035 to 0.04 mg range. When you look at those numbers, it’s pretty clear the dosages are extremely similar—basically nearly identical.
Furthermore, estrogen is what actually triggers those changes in coagulation factors, which can ultimately lead to thrombosis or even a full-blown embolism.
The contraindications are pretty straightforward: anyone with a genetic predisposition, smokers, people with sedentary lifestyles, and those dealing with obesity. It’s all laid out clearly.
Did you know that pregnancy combined with long-distance travel significantly increases your risk of developing blood clots?
Stop relying on "internet doctors" and Google for every single answer. Instead, actually read the side effect profile of your medication and go get blood work done—specifically lipids, cholesterol, liver enzymes, and a full coagulation panel. It doesn't matter which pill you're taking; just do it.
I’m curious—how much blood did you guys actually have to give?
How long are we talking for these trips—like 2 to 3 hours, or longer? I’ve got some travel coming up soon and I'm on Yasmin. 🤷
You have my full support—hang in there! I’m also dealing with endometriosis. I went through a standard surgery and I'm currently on hormone therapy, praying this won't come back. The waiting period was incredibly stressful. Honestly, the hardest part is remembering how much pain I was in for a month after the surgery; I couldn't even get out of bed. And the year leading up to the surgery, when I first found out about the endometriosis? That was brutal. Just constant, unbearable pain, popping three or four Voltaren pills a day, and multiple trips to the ER because the agony was just too much. Then there's the scar that stays with you forever, serving as a reminder of the worst year of my life. But I truly believe things will settle down eventually. Life throws much harder punches than this, and if anything, this experience has just made me stronger.
