Wait, are those really the ones in the little round packages?

Sunbathing while on the pill—yay or nay?

Absolutely Finding Nemo 👍
watched it yesterday and man, it was just awesome

So, wait—does my period actually start two days after the last pill? But isn't that basically the start of the cycle? From what I gathered, you're supposed to start the pack on day one of your period... so why even have that week-long break then?? 😕
I’m totally lost here... I’ve got my period, but I just took my last pill the day before yesterday... now I don't know if this is just withdrawal bleeding or an actual period... plus, nothing has helped with the cramps. And ugh, my boobs have gone up a whole cup size—and they aren't exactly small to begin with! 😢
But the feeling is just unreal... especially during sex, I think 😁

Ugh, so bummed... I was reading somewhere that birth control pills actually block estrogen or something... maybe I totally misread it though—not that it surprises me given my luck... but seriously—if you start taking the pill in the evening when your period actually shows up in the early morning hours, does that even work? Like, isn't the estrogen already out there doing its thing?

So I went back and got Trinovum—now is it actually any better?

And I’m assuming my OB-GYN actually knows what she's talking about... right?

I mean, worst case scenario—I'll just switch over to Logest, since you don't even need a prescription for that.

So, I asked about the Logest... and she said it's pretty standard practice to start with a stronger dose first—then it's super easy to scale back if the hormones feel like too much.

So, I didn't get the Logest I was actually hoping for... ended up with Diane 35 instead... ugh. I mean, I'll give it a shot, but—seriously—if this stuff messes with my skin (I have zero breakouts right now!), my weight, or my hair... there is absolutely no way I'm touching it again!

ugh, yeah, yeah, yeah—I just got prescribed Diflucan too, didn't exactly go out and buy it myself 🙂
just wondering if it actually works? I’m kinda skeptical because how is one single pill supposed to pull off a massive genocide??

oh and for those using the vaginal suppositories, use them at night since lying down helps so much more. sorry if I'm just stating the obvious here 🙏

honestly, I can't even keep up with all these posts anymore.... what’s the actual price gap between that Triquilar stuff and Logest?
so, I’m finally heading out tomorrow to grab my very first recipe😁
and does the gynecologist actually ask what you need—or do they just dictate the whole thing to you?
oh, and is that one tablet really as legit as they say? You know, the one where you take a single dose and it totally clears up a vaginal yeast infection?

Don't move this over to the NBA sub—someone might see it who isn't even following the league anyway—but does anyone know what kind of electives you can actually take for physical education if you're studying economics at NYU?
thanks

Casey Palmer5 said:Maybe try cutting back on those bananas—too much potassium might actually be triggering the cramps...

My doctor (who also gave me a referral for an orthopedist I haven't even seen yet 🙄) told me to eat bananas because of the potassium—apparently, low potassium is what causes cramps... I mean, isn't that why tennis players are always snacking on them?

Just go ahead and eat those bananas that are loaded with potassium then—see if I care!

50 Cent 👍... especially Wankst!
I live for hip hop—it’s been totally washing over me lately..
But man, Sean Paul... hmm.. guy's a total tool.. but whatever, "Get Busy" and "Clap Your Hands" (that's the one, right?) is freaking fire
Out of everyone else, Nelly is just sexy (and yeah, go ahead and roast me if you want 🙄 ), plus Busta Rhymes and Snoop Dogg 🙂

Honestly, the best cure for those damn cramps is just a good old-fashioned ORGASM! It makes your uterus contract—which actually helps ease the pain! I've tried it myself—and it totally works 👍 👍

It’s honestly not the smartest move to use a tampon when you don't even have a heavy flow—maybe just stick to the thinnest one possible? It totally messes with your natural flora and all that... which basically just invites a yeast infection to the party. I mean, if tight underwear and skinny jeans are already part of the problem, why add more to the mix?
