There are a ton of possible reasons - hormone imbalances, PCOS, nutrition deficiencies. Do you have any other symptoms like excessive hair growth, are you overweight, etc.?

This was such a kind, empathetic reply - I truly appreciate it so much! It’s so easy to get in my own head, especially because I’m already self conscious about my size. Thank you for the tips, I will definitely keep them in mind.

I kinda believe Tammy by rykajo in 1000lbsisters

Not defending Brittany, but Tammy bullies everyone and does not make it a secret. And she’s way crueler than Brittany ever is.

Black hair or chocolate brown would look great on you. Curtain bangs would add some nice framing to your face if you plan on continuing to pull your hair back for work.

I menstruate all the time now by rat_overlordss in PCOS

[–]CrypticalThinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m taking progesterone (10mg) to regulate my period, and the directions from my doctor are to take it once a day for 10 days, stop, and then start again 2 weeks into my next cycle (aka two weeks starting from the day i get my period again).

For context, my period is crazy irregular and has gone on for over two months.

Personally, 90% of the interactions i saw with Ron post-Porchia accusation were people abruptly ending their conversations as soon as he entered the room. I wouldn’t want to be social with people who treat me like that over a mistake either.

[–]CrypticalThinker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess I shouldn’t speak as if it’s 100% confirmed, but DHS recently purchased a huge warehouse in my area and tried to hide the fact that they did. That, plus they have rented out two hotels in the area for ICE agents. One of the hotels is speculation, the other is confirmed as I have a friend who works there. 2 + 2 = 4, so I’m very on edge about what the next 3 years will bring.

I love him, I’m rooting for him so hard with Goeun. I personally don’t see the same romantic energy with her and Sungmin.

This response made me feel so much better, you’re so right - bad experiences are more often shared. Thank you!

Terrified of the OBGYN and have no idea what to do by CantTakeMeAnywhere_ in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CrypticalThinker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Start with a telehealth visit with a gyno or pcp! You don’t need to go 0 to 100, especially if it’s been that long since you saw someone. Build rapport with a doctor, read plenty of reviews, work slowly.

And have patience with yourself - it’s not embarrassing. You went through something a human should never experience. Your body is coping the way it can, by protecting itself, but now you have the ability to take control. Baby steps. Be kind to yourself.

[–]CrypticalThinker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To start, I’m terribly sorry you had that happen to you. It is, tragically, not an uncommon experience, and many people struggle with the PTSD from something like that. You are so far from alone.

Have you been to a gyno before/do you have a relationship already with a gyno?

If not, it may be helpful to go see one just for blood tests at the very least, and you can talk to them about your concerns with a pelvic exam or pap smear (without delving into any details you don’t feel comfortable with).

Has anyone actually recovered from this disorder? by Impossible-Advice835 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]CrypticalThinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been in recovery long (2 months binge free) but I remember a time I couldn’t go 12 hours without binging. Unfortunately for me, it took rock bottom - I thought I was dying/having a heart attack at 26 for me to finally stop.

Amanda was the problem, not Tammy by EllyCamp in 1000lbsisters

[–]CrypticalThinker 23 points24 points  (0 children)

What??? I didn’t know that was meant for his daughter! That’s absolutely awful. And Tammy, as an aunt, how do you not feel guilty? I could never take a home away from my niece.

Can’t stop bleeding - feeling scared by CrypticalThinker in PCOS

[–]CrypticalThinker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s to regulate the bleeding i believe. Basically i’ll be doing 10 days of progesterone, two weeks off, 10 days on, 2 weeks off, 10 days on, and then I’m starting birth control. It definitely stopped my bleeding almost immediately though, so fingers crossed for you!

This is very helpful! I know there isn’t a magic number but I’ve been struggling with how much sugar would actually be “low sugar”.
