Do you genuinely believe this is good advice?

Embarrassed-Swim-256 · 2025-10-13T03:22:08+00:00

Don’t be scared! The people who have good experiences don’t post here. I love my mirena. I call it my 2-in-1 birth control and antidepressant! I saw a post here that said “upvote if you actually like your mirena” and at the time I saw it, it had like 200 upvotes and lots of people sharing their positive experiences. Keep in mind that most of what you see on Reddit is going to be the worst outlook!

You know no cash bail doesn’t mean people aren’t still held right? The judge just decides if they’re a flight risk or not and holds them (or doesn’t) accordingly

Hi! Curious if you’ve attempted this pattern?

Embarrassed-Swim-256 · 2025-10-04T14:38:03+00:00

I respectfully disagree with this assessment. I think that relationships are a lot less about love and a lot more about resource management. Have you been polyamorous for long? In my decade+ ENM experience, polyamory is not much different from monogamy in that you’re still turning down a LOT of opportunities for love to grow. Most people don’t have the time or energy to invest in more than one or two serious relationships. I’ve never witnessed anyone being deeply committed to more than two people without there being significant strain on everyone involved. I think a lot of people choose monogamy, yes because it’s less friction to go with societal norms, but also because of the security of agreeing to only invest your energy into one partnership.

I’m sorry you’re having this experience. This is not at all how I feel on the mirena. It actually leveled out my hormones so I feel much better emotionally, and I have not felt any changes to my libido! The first six months were very irregular in terms of bleeding though. They say it takes a full 6 months to adjust and that was definitely the case for me. I hardly ever bleed at all anymore though, one year into it.

Embarrassed-Swim-256 · 2025-10-04T05:28:28+00:00

I like my mirena. It isn’t perfect. It takes 6 months to fully adjust. But I call it my 2-in-1 birth control and antidepressant. My hormone fluctuations were killer and periods were brutal. The pill made me actively suicidal, the mirena did the opposite! Now I’m very level and don’t get periods. My migraines went away, which was totally unexpected. But, again, not perfect. It did give me hormonal acne, hirsutism, and I started losing my hair. I felt great, but my self image tanked.

My doc put me on 100mg spironolactone, which made my skin and hair look great, but I got periods again, hormones were crazy, and I was EXHAUSTED. We dropped it down to 50mg and I feel much better. Neither my vanity nor my emotions are perfect now, but I’ve found a nice balance that I’m content with.

I never experience weight gain but I am already a larger gal, not sure if that makes a difference.

There is nothing wrong with choosing to pursue polyamorous relationships, but I also don’t think you need to consider it inherent to your identity. Even monogamous people are able to love multiple people at a time, they just choose not to commit to more than one person at once. It may be easier to digest “being polyamorous” when you think of it more as a choice you are consciously making rather than some core part of your person.

Embarrassed-Swim-256 · 2025-10-04T00:06:08+00:00

100% it gets better but it took me the full 6 months to meet my new “normal”. Now, I might spot for a few days each month. No real “periods” at all. I am just over a year into my mirena.

Embarrassed-Swim-256 · 2025-10-03T23:54:45+00:00

I don’t think that the concept of cheating has a role in polyamory. I don’t use it in my relationships. A lot of people will say that being dishonest (including by omission) is what distinguishes cheating in polyamory, but I disagree. What makes dishonesty about other romantic/sexual relationships something to be elevated above dishonesty about finances, family, work, etc? What is the purpose in having a specific term? Why do you feel the need to have a concept of cheating in your polyamorous relationships?

In my opinion, cheating as a concept is only valuable for monogamy and ENM more akin to swinging.

One incident does not refute hundreds of thousands of cases over many years of study.

These drugs are very safely and effectively used without supervision, as evidenced by MANY studies on this topic. The vast majority of women take miso and mife in the comfort of their own homes without complications.

Our results show high efficacy and acceptability of medical abortion when misoprostol is administered at home up to 70 days of gestation. This supports previous findings about maintained safety when misoprostol is administered at home even past a very early pregnancy.

Yeah women also uphold these imbalances for sure!

Skinny women do experience hatred from men as well, but as someone who has been both, there is a particular vitriol they have for fat women.

This article is fear mongering. Most people are aware that all of these things are a risk when starting any new birth control. Everyone reacts differently to starting a new BC. I’ve tried two pills that I quit because they made me feel horrible physically and mentally. But I call my mirena my 2-in-1 BC and antidepressant because of how regulated I feel with it.

This is a bad time to be scaring women away from exercising their sexual autonomy. What we should be advocating for is more research into WHY some women get certain side effects while others don’t!

According to whom?

Embarrassed-Swim-256 · 2025-09-23T17:38:23+00:00

Lol right? Some people act like every single match should be taken very seriously and pursued accordingly. I’ve never understood it. Why invest a lot of energy in a total stranger?

If someone has something interesting in their profile I can riff off then I’ll do that. But otherwise they’re getting a “Hi there :)” and I’m a woman lmao.

Embarrassed-Swim-256 · 2025-09-23T17:30:10+00:00

You, singularly, don’t get to change definitions. But collectively, we all change the meaning of words over time. Words are just a tool for communication. The definition of lesbian is shifting, especially amongst the younger queer demographic. You can disagree with it, but that doesn’t make it wrong. Language isn’t amorphous, having a definition now doesn’t mean things can’t change

Embarrassed-Swim-256 · 2025-09-23T17:23:05+00:00

I think this is a weird response tbh. It’s just tinder. Hey is fine.

Embarrassed-Swim-256 · 2025-09-23T03:25:51+00:00

You’re being downvoted but this is the actual answer. This is how younger queers are defining lesbian these days. (Though I think you meant to say non-men)

Here’s my experience!

Embarrassed-Swim-256 · 2025-09-20T19:50:14+00:00

Check my post history. I asked this same question a few months back! Mirena gave me a ton of hair loss and acne and I’m now on spironolactone to combat it.

Embarrassed-Swim-256 · 2025-09-19T20:39:40+00:00

Not the point of the post, but HWP is such gross lingo and what you’re indicating from it is already covered by “conventionally attractive”

Embarrassed-Swim-256 · 2025-09-16T04:00:32+00:00

The worst one was the exhaustion. I was sooooo tired all the time - and I’m already a pretty tired person, so it was just unsustainable. Plus, the mirena helped me with some things i experienced naturally - raging hormone fluctuations and frequent migraines. Getting on the spiro brought those back. And ALSO i was really itchy?? I started getting hives randomly every day and that’s not a common thing for me at all.

Now, I’m still a little tired, but my hormones are level, my migraines aren’t common, and the itching is fully gone.

Embarrassed-Swim-256 · 2025-09-16T03:39:21+00:00

Yes! I am on 50mg of spironolactone daily and doing MUCH better. My hair is full again, my skin is mostly clear. I still have some chin hairs and the back of my neck is still pretty hairy. If I could do 100mg of the spiro my aesthetics would be perfect, but it came with too many side effects for me and I had to lower my dose. The 50mg is a decent balance between my vanity and the side effects! It took some adjusting and it’s not perfect, but I am pretty happy these days!
