Maybe an internist—or even an angiologist

No.
Getting an X-ray while you're pregnant can be pretty risky—especially during those early stages.

It sounds like the guy just isn't up to the task—maybe he should focus on himself instead.
And her acting like her hymen is somehow indestructible... I mean, wtf? How old is she? 83? At this point, maybe her hymen has actually grown roots or something?

Why would you even insult a girl who’s clearly dealing with something and politely asking for advice? 🤷

Besides, you clearly have no clue what you're talking about—it's just total nonsense. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if she really does deal with an imperforate hymen. Just because you haven't dealt with something like that doesn't mean it isn't a real thing for others. Seriously, if you don't have anything intelligent or helpful to contribute, maybe just don't post at all. Instead of being so hateful.

Dakota, I’m actually right there with you on this "wonderful" little problem. Hey, Diana, do you happen to remember where your cousin went or who she saw? I'd feel so silly walking into a clinic and acting like an idiot if they just brush me off with stuff like "it's no big deal" or "just relax a little"—especially since I've been dealing with this for a while now. My hymen might not be super thick or anything, but my pain tolerance is pretty low, so when things finally click, it’s pure bliss! 😱

I sent you a DM.

A friend of mine has been venting to me for a while now because she just can't seem to "break through" the Hymen—well, her boyfriend can't! 😁 She doesn't think it's a matter of being tense or a lack of interest, since they've actually been together for three and a half years. The other day she mentioned she'd heard there's a specific procedure for this, but she has absolutely no clue how it works, where to go, or any of those details. Has anyone here actually gone through with this? Maybe even the original poster? What’s the actual process like? 🤷 I told her I doubt you can just walk in and say, "Hi, I'd like a hymenotomy, please," but I don't want to steer her wrong, so I figured I'd ask you guys! Thanks 🙂

Actually, that's pretty much exactly how it works. My cousin just had it done recently by her OB-GYN. The whole thing is super straightforward—they give you local anesthesia so you barely feel a thing, and the actual procedure only takes a few minutes.
So, tell her not to be afraid to get it done; there's really no point in suffering through it like this.

I'm right there with you—that was a seriously terrible attempt at an ad! 🙂

A few people I know head over to Grgić’s place on Martić Street—well, I think that's the right street—and they absolutely rave about him. I don't have his exact number handy, though I'm sure he's in some directory somewhere. Give him a shot if you can find him. I don't have a ton of details, but hey, if this helps you out even a little, then mission accomplished!

Olivia Fowler44 said:Oh, come on... how else would you do it? If the cuff is paired with a stethoscope, you're using that chest piece to listen for the pulse. Maybe I didn't phrase that perfectly, but goodness knows that's how you take blood pressure.

Scott Allen10 made a really good point there. Since when do you listen for a pulse on a vein???
I mean, you'd obviously be checking the artery!

Alan makes a really good point here—searches related to accidental poisoning have absolutely nothing to do with looking for pregnancy signs. And honestly, you can't just stumble upon a pregnancy diagnosis through those kinds of searches. Plus, if she was actually at an ER because of a pill overdose, they wouldn't be running pregnancy tests unless there was a specific medical reason; the two things are totally unrelated.
Besides, based on what you said, even if she were pregnant, it might have only been about a week at that point? I mean, I don't think any test would even pick up on that yet.
But seriously, where's the actual issue? If she’s worried she might be pregnant, she should just take a home test right now and get it over with—problem solved. Or, you know, just go see her doctor.
