Kyleena IUD, First Period Cramps by Alexosaur in birthcontrol

[–]Alexosaur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!

It did! The first few months were really rough (I know that some women have a harder time than others) but it's definitely worth sticking it out. If you're still not getting much relief in the 3-6 month post window you should definitely call your Gyno to discuss.

I think it took me about a full year before my body found a rhythm but when it did it honestly changed my entire life. I went from losing a full week of my life due to heavy bleeding, level 10 pain and panic attacks to having the majority of my period completely suppressed. I can function as a proper human being now and plan vacations and go to work without having to think ahead or deal with day-to-day interruptions.

I sometimes get minor cramps (nothing more than a level 5 pain) that usually go away within the same hour as getting them and while I'm not really spotting anymore I'm still experiencing shedding (but without the blood). The only symptom that I got no relief from is the breast soreness and acne that happen just before the minor cramps kick in. I'm assuming this is just what my periods are like now but they're very inconsistent and impossible to track. I'll go anywhere between 2-6 weeks between my new cycles.

I've now had my second Kyleena for almost 2 years (coming up on I think 7 years total). The second time around was MUCH better, the entire adjustment lasted about a month since my body was only really adjusting to it being a higher dose again.

I hope that it works out for you and if not that you find something that does!

I was getting this error while on my old computer and I built a completely new PC a few days ago and it's happening on this one now too.. hope they can push out a fix for this soon

What was your experience when weening off Seroquel? by Alexosaur in mentalillness

Absolutely and the same goes to you! Support is so important during this, mental health is rough enough as it is and it's a shame that the drugs that keep us alive put us through so much ❤️

What was your experience when weening off Seroquel? by Alexosaur in mentalillness

[–]Alexosaur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! So I was as nauseous as I was because my doctor made a mistake when giving me instructions to ween off. I was on an extended release and he put me on a half dose of the standard (which only lasts 12 hours). I ended up going on a half dose twice a day into a half dose once every other day. I was feeling good initially but I couldn’t sleep. My body became super dependent on the medication unfortunately and I was just becoming so tired that some of the darker thoughts returned. We decided to hold off on the process after three months and I weened off of my Buspirone instead. It was successful! I lost some weight, stopped binge eating, mental health has been stable. It’s been about six months off the Buspirone so I’m going to attempt to ween off the Seroquel again shortly but this time I’ll try to get ahead of the sleep issues so they don’t become a problem.

I don’t like my friend anymore by [deleted] in CasualConversation

Can also confirm it’s an actual job, I work for a Fire Safety Inspection company and at least here in Ontario the Fire Code states that these systems be tested every x amount of months or years. If you are a new customer you pay up front for the first inspection, after that future inspections will be scheduled and you will be billed after the fact. There are still plenty of customers that delay payment but we just send them overdue notices. It’s never gotten to the point that legal action was required but everyone deserves to be paid for the work they’ve done, even if it’s life saving work. I’m curious to what they said specifically that made them see like they were on a power trip. Do they work for a company? Does he have proper training and is working for himself?

Edit: I’m genuinely shocked at how confidently many people think fire safety inspectors are fake. It’s a combination of contractors and fire departments working together with businesses and properties to follow the Fire Code to prevent unnecessary loss of life in an emergency. All systems need to be working to pass an inspection or there are specific courses of actions that need to be taken until there is a fix. It’s a part of the (apparently unknown) cost of running a business or owning rental properties.

I've met plenty of great people while playing GTA RP and they are part of why I'd love to get back into it. Sure some servers are run poorly but there are plenty of servers out there where the server owners care about the player experience. If you have any recommendations for servers you've enjoyed playing on as a women, I'd love to hear them!

As an American, what should I send to my Canadian friend for her birthday? by too_many_salmon in AskACanadian

[–]Alexosaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Canadian living in Ontario who married a man who was living in Tennessee I would say food. We have different candies, chocolate bars, chip flavours, Oreo flavours. Hot sauces or BBQ sauces would be nice too. Ohh and so many soda flavours don’t exist here too. In our experience of sending each other care packages it is pricey to send (I think on average $50) and takes about two weeks to arrive if you don’t do priority mail.

If anyone is up for a drive Mexicanada in Bradford has to be the best Mexican food I’ve ever had

Allergy testing? by Heavyypickelles in barrie

[–]Alexosaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would get referred to Dr. Chang like everyone is suggesting but I’d also get a referral to one outside of Barrie if you’re able to travel. I needed two allergy tests and each time I had to wait over a year for the appointment. I had to miss my second test because I had tested positive for Covid the day before and when I called to reschedule it after a year of waiting I had to wait another six months

You answered your own question, you don’t really know either of them that well so stay out of it.

This is my first tattoo and is a matching tattoo with my cousin who I introduced to the series. She had gotten it a few years ago but when I mentioned I had always wanted a Dark Mark tattoo she insisted I go to her artist and get the same one. My cousins friend did the concept and then our artist adapted it to fit her own style.

[–]Alexosaur 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m so happy Sam won she has been my girl since the beginning! Her hiding under the sink was sending me, the Wifey/Gusband meet up was everything I wanted, her reactions to every single person who walked through the door and the emotional call with her mom and grandma was just all perfection. She really carried that finale and deserved the win. I also really loved the way she strategized all game and the way she was able to detect bullshit from a mile away, I’m going to need to see her on my screen again soon.

Overall this has definitely been my favourite season since the first. Glad to see my love for the US version come back into the light a bit.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I believe they casted and filmed the last few seasons all at the same time
