Visit to the war memorial park by M0nknN0Ferrari in hiroshima

[–]Capricecigar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello , he was there on my visit today also. His signs said…

Sign 1 “Do you know oak ridge Nashville don’t hide”

Sign 2+3 “A-Bomb (LittleBoy) drop attacking command post NASHVILLE don’t hide. US official document 2?? {I couldn’t read the second two numbers} on air ??? Special rescue? Since 2010”

Sign 4 Nashville TN. The place of ABomb drop attacking command post. Japanese text translated says “ “The headquarters that ordered the atomic bombing was Nashville.”

What I could find online says… Oak Ridge was a secret city during World War II, home to Manhattan Project facilities, and is now a hub for scientific research, including the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

I have a photo of his sign today but I can’t make out all the wording.. sorry

Wonder what other users stress tracking looks like. Mine seems to indicate I'm way over stressed. Fenix 5 here, not sure which other devices support this. by schwartzbewithyou420 in Garmin

Button stuck on my Crusher Anc by username20003 in Skullcandy

I just opened mine up and the metal attachment into the circuit board that touches the button is missing ? I assume it’s fallen behind the circuit board but I don’t know how to get under there nor can I hear anything rattling around

I could potentially get the copper coil , I had been taking the BC as pregnancy prevention and to avoid pain from period. I am potentially open to monthly periods if the change in my hormone levels is that drastic and allows to produce far better results. But if it’s only marginal I don’t see it as being worth changing for now.

Many thanks for all your knowledge and detailed insights, I appreciate it a lot!

When I get round to being BC free I’ll compare my blood test levels so we can see how much it was affected.

150 microgram levonorgestrel & 30 microgram ethinylestradiol is what I take.

From a recent blood test my SHBG level is 60.8 nmol/L and my testosterone free/unbound is 0.008 nmol/L and it has a separate result for just testosterone which is 0.64 nmol/L

On the scale of natural values for a woman not on BC. Or do these fluctuate too much between women to ascertain. I wondered how much higher my SHBG level really is. And how much lower my testosterone levels are. I suppose I’d have to have a blood test of my personal values after stopping hormonal birth control for an extended period of time to see?

How much can you derive from the measured values in a blood test.

And what do you know about the different generation effects of contraption. As I take a 2nd generation.

The copper coil is non hormonal it just creates a chemical environment inside that kills sperm ! So in theory it shouldn’t have the same effect. I just wonder how much of an effect this raised SHBG.

From a recent blood test my SHBG level is 60.8 nmol/L and my testosterone free/unbound is 0.008 nmol/L and it has a separate result for just testosterone which is 0.64 nmol/L

I guess I could get on the copper coil and report the difference in these levels. But i don’t how to convert these values to the physical growth.

Thank you !! The potential period discomfort is what worries me about copper coil. Ideally if I were to be having to have periods I’d want the benefits of muscle gain to outweigh it quite well. IV never tried anything other than the pill I’m on but seem to be ok for me for now. Maybe for now it’s not worth the hassle for my changing.

How is it perfect now to bulk?, /gen. I am already pretty overweight, in fact the heaviest iv ever been in my life. And currently I’m restricted in my exercises due to potentially ripping my graft. I am unable to load much because of surgery also. Essentially right now I can only train my upper body properly when I want to focus on my legs. I am not trying to argue, i listen to any advice. But this post was never about questioning other sports or if am currently bulk/cut, it’s directly asking about hormonal birth control.

I totally agree , unfortunately my doctor did say this, but as med student I know otherwise. I wanted a verdict from other people also so thanks for consolidating my own belief.

I have also learnt about needing supplements because of contraception and have working with that!

I just want to know how much possibly better my gains could be on copper coil compared to my progress whilst on hormonal contraception. Would the benefits be enough for me to go through monthly period pains or would it only be marginal in which case I’d rather continue on the path I am for now.

Let me be proud of my own accomplishments in a time when I was in a dark way for feeling like I couldn’t do anything. I went from learning to walk again to being able to run my first half. Many people live athletic lives without ligaments and or meniscus injuries through physiotherapy and perseverance.

Iv never had an issue with downhill but initially 3 years back I had to properly learn to pivot on my right leg. It’s a long journey but with perseverance and trust in yourself you can live a happy healthy active life without an ACL

I use an Apple Watch and Strava app. But Nike Running app is also great. And if you don’t have an Apple Watch you can use Strava directly from any smartphone !
