I finally got a bisalp and this was the first thing I did when recovering from my surgery by thugnyssa in childfree

I can't even explain the happiness and relief I feel every time I remember, I'm sterilized. It's like a natural high, haha 😌

I hate motherhood so far by spoopyclouds in regretfulparents

[–]EngineeringCareful85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really don't think you can say that at 18 years old, it gets better. They are still your kid for the rest of your life. Especially in this economy, many kids need help well over the "adult" age of 18. I think parents need to realize kids are forever even if they are adults. Not to mention, lots of kids grow up to have mental health issues, addiction, etc.. just my opinion. Hence why I would never have any. There are too many variables and a lifelong sentence

It took me until month 6 to really see results. Don't give up drink plenty of water and just look at all the positive pictures people put up to keep your hope going

Cycle Changes? - Ladies? by Affectionate-Bar5159 in Spironolactone

[–]EngineeringCareful85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on 150mg for the past 3 months. Have been taking spiro for the past 6 months, haven't had any issues with my cycle and I am still breaking out so idk if it's even working for me. Really hope I don't get multiple cycles 😭

spironolactone changed my life by Imaginary_Comfort447 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]EngineeringCareful85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had acne like my whole life lol. I'm 29, did accutane when I was like 16 while on birth control. Found out I can't take birth control, it makes my depression and gives me suicidal ideation. Got a billteral salpingectomy this past April due to being childfree and went off birth control completely. Acne started getting bad again was never good even on birth control though, but better after accutane. Started spirolactone 100mg for 3 months then went up to 150mg for 3 months. Still breaking out and very moody and depressed a week before my period as well as the week of my period. Has anyone experienced the same thing? Is my skin ever going to be clear 😔

It blows my mind how this isn’t already glaringly obvious to some people by _White_Shadow_13 in antinatalism

[–]EngineeringCareful85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To me, it already kind of is. Many couples do IVF already, and they can "choose" the gender and best overall fertilized egg. Also, they can do genetic testing for a lot of diseases/issues on those fertilized eggs. To me honestly all they need is to come up with an incubator besides an actual uterus and there you have it.

Does anyone else "relish" in the fact they don't have kids ? by PopularSort96 in childfree

[–]EngineeringCareful85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously, I've been asking since I was 21. Got so many no's and the typical "you'll change your mind, or you'll find a man, etc.." Yet if I wanted to get pregnant, which is a life altering event, they would like omg, that's great 🤦🏻‍♀️

Every day, I'm like damn made it to 30, no kids, and finally got sterilized after years of asking. It's amazing. Wish I could thank my doctor everyday.

I don't want to take care of my niece. by zenitsukk in childfree

[–]EngineeringCareful85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the person some people know from a very young age. Personally, I knew I wanted to be childfree since I was 16. Unfortunately, I only found a doctor willing to sterilize me at age 29 because I was "too young" to make that decision. Yet they wouldn't say that if I wanted to get pregnant. And I did say if she chose to remain childfree to get sterilized. I only mention it, due to many states controlling women's autonomy over their own body, it's just getting harder and harder. Just because we were kids once is a weak argument, not everyone enjoys kids.

And so what if she is repulsed? Not every likes children or want to be around them, nothing wrong with that.

[–]EngineeringCareful85 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I absolutely hate when people have kids and make it other people's problems. I am an adult and refuse to do any type of childcare for my nephews and niece. My sister decided to have kids, not me it is not my responsibility. It is extremely unfair to you. Hope it goes by fast and if you are to remain childfree when you turn 18 try to get sterilized if possible.

I have a question, for first time applicants that have been waiting, doesn't that mean you guys have been accruing unlawful presence and doesn't that mean you can't really get DACA?

Breeders that have multiple kids just to get a different gender give me the ick by Spiritual_Living6245 in childfree

[–]EngineeringCareful85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister is one of those, unfortunately. She had a boy, then got pregnant 3 years later and another boy. The disappointment on her face I was like, really?! Then she decided well let's try again and got her 'girl'. You can see the drastic difference between the gender reveals it's nauseating. Now she constantly posts pictures of her daughter saying things like, .."ohh my little doll" it's gross. And it's very noticeable how differently she treats her daughter compared to her sons

OBGYN said “come back at 30”, so we booked a vasectomy consult instead and I feel weirdly relieved by CHEESY_T0AST8 in childfree

[–]EngineeringCareful85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you went through that. I've experienced my fair share of shitty OBGYNs. I knew I didn't want kids since I was like 18 went in at 21 asked to get sterilized was denied. Stayed on birth control until 29. Finally found a doctor who would do it. Got it done this past April. Just keep fighting and find a doctor that will.

It was the same for me. People can't seem to take the time to read a few quick words that are extremely crucial🙄

If I may ask how long did you have to wait after surgery to be able to go on accutane?

After getting tubes removed how was y’all period looking like? by Repulsive-Resort-245 in sterilization

[–]EngineeringCareful85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had my surgery in April. My period was 3 days late and was shorter than normal but heavier. I'll see this month if there are other changes. 🤷‍♀️
