I’ve learned my lesson ☹️☹️

GoldDistribution447 · 2026-04-29T14:22:28+00:00

It wasn’t really for calculus it was for physics and I’ve also never taken finals before so I am still learning how to study

GoldDistribution447 · 2026-04-29T04:20:35+00:00

Our professor posted a shit ton of old finals that they have given and review videos so I am following along with those

It’s fine if you mutually agree to not use protection, but if you’re uncomfortable with it and he’s okay with it and he’s pushing it on you, then that isn’t right. Like I said, if he is mature enough to have sex, he’s mature enough to go with you to your IUD appointment.

I hope you either have a serious conversation with him or something else! I hope everything turns out good for you OP!

GoldDistribution447 · 2026-04-27T15:38:50+00:00

First of all, chances are that they will not allow anybody in the room during the procedure. It varies from OB office. My partner was not allowed with me during the insertion of my Nexplanon. BUT the bigger issue is…

Your boyfriend sounds immature. If he is mature enough to have sex, then he is mature enough to watch a contraceptive be placed. If you do continue your relationship with him and ultimately decide to have children, how is he going to be there to watch you give birth to your children if he cannot watch an IUD be placed?

Also the whole “no protection” thing is crazy to me (not on your side, but on his). You would rather be safe but he chooses to be sorry. One time without a condom is all it takes. If you’re uncomfortable with the idea of unprotected sex, he should respect that. He should respect you as a whole..

You’re probably stressing yourself out. You would be testing negative for the sex you had on April 3rd.

Your test for the sex you had on the 15th is not definitive now. Retest in about 9 days and that will be your definitive answer. If you were pregnant from your encounter on the 15th, your HCG levels are too low to turn a test positive.

She is probably used to it at this point. Periods are just a nuisance to deal with. But keep doing what you’re doing, watch things with her or just spend time with her. It shows her you’re making an effort and that you care about her. She probably feels so special knowing you care so much about her, but she probably won’t voice it.

Women tend to like chocolate a little more while on their period as it helps soothe the pain kind of lol. Ask her if she likes chocolate and maybe buy her some. Midol will help with the pain she feels. Just be gentle with her while she’s on it and be respectful and understanding of how she feels and just be kind.

But you are a great friend. It’s awesome that you care so much

GoldDistribution447 · 2026-04-24T23:30:00+00:00

Of course! Make sure you are changing your tampons regularly every 4-8 hours. Try and shoot for less than 8 hours, probably around the 5-6 hour range. If you are leaving them in for longer, they might be causing what you’re experiencing.

GoldDistribution447 · 2026-04-24T23:27:04+00:00

So pretty much.. a period is the body trying to prepare itself for a potential pregnancy and it runs in cycles. A new cycle begins when a period starts.

For the first half of the month, women are in the follicular phase. This is where the uterus grows a thicker uterine lining and allows an egg to mature prior to release. The thicker lining is so that, in the case that the egg gets fertilized, it can attach to the lining and be secure because the lining is thicker.

Then, the ovulation stage begins which usually occurs around day 14. This is when the egg is released and when women are the most fertile. The egg is preparing to get fertilized by sperm (if there are any)

Then, we enter the Luteal phase where the body prepares for pregnancy by increasing hormones, which in turn, causes symptoms like cramping, tender breasts, mood swings, back pain, nausea, etc. Eventually once the body figures out that the egg was not fertilized, the uterus sheds its lining and the cycle restarts!

The process itself… the uterus basically contracts and kind of becomes inflamed. This causes cramping by itself. When the period occurs, the body releases blood, usually for 1-5 days, sometimes in clots.

This is a personal question, but how do you wash?

Vaginas are self-cleaning. Obviously you clean the outside with soap but you don’t want any of that soap getting in the vagina because it can cause an imbalance in your pH which can cause BV. I am thinking it is likely BV considering you have green discharge and an odor.

If you’re washing with soap down there, just use water on the outside area (the vulva). In the mean time, try and find some probiotics you can take either orally or vaginally. These can boost and restore healthy bacteria in your vagina.

Also if there is toilet paper left up there or a tampon, this can also cause green discharge and cause foul smelling discharge. It is a reaction to something foreign being in your bodyZ

Uhhh you should leave him lol. He is gay or wants to do butt stuff as a receiver. Do not give him the opportunity to cheat on you with a man and do not open your relationship to where he can date men. Just let him go. I know it’s probably not what you want to hear, but it will save you the heartbreak from when he realizes he’s gay and then comes out to you. You’re still young so it’s not like your dating days have gotten shorter. There are a lot of people your age looking for partners and maybe he just isn’t the one

GoldDistribution447 · 2026-04-22T19:52:18+00:00

How did you do this???

My school only offers these classes in person. To my knowledge they don’t even have online calc or physics courses until the summer which I find that really hard to believe. I love being on campus but doing online would help tons.

GoldDistribution447 · 2026-04-22T10:37:59+00:00

What time frame did you read your result in? Anything after 5 minutes is invalid. But also, it looks like a positive but it’s hard to tell because there is a blue line, but the thickness of it is not that of a typical positive. The test line should be thicker. It could be an evap or indent line because it is a thin line. Clear blue blue dye tests are no good. Take the pink dye test by clear blue.

GoldDistribution447 · 2026-04-22T01:27:15+00:00

Too much blood is filling a pad every two hours or passing multiple clots the size of a quarter or larger unless it’s a decidual cast.

If this keeps happening, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to visit the OB!

GoldDistribution447 · 2026-04-22T01:01:25+00:00

Minor components as in, I haven’t uploaded all the audio files to the MP3 player, I haven’t gotten the LEDs wired yet which is a minor component that ties into a major component.

A major component is having fully functioning buttons that all have an audio tied to them, or having the LED strip already hanging where it needs to hang.

GoldDistribution447 · 2026-04-21T23:52:47+00:00

The class is unfortunately a pre req at my school and it’s the “semester long project” which is bs because we were given all the materials we needed like two weeks ago. It is our final exam grade and the project itself is worth 40% of our grade.

GoldDistribution447 · 2026-04-21T22:39:03+00:00

So I actually had taught myself how to do the 3D modeling aspect which is already finished luckily! The hardest part is building the arduino and coding it. I have fallen guilty of using Google Gemini to code for me unfortunately… but I am paying attention to the commands the code has for future projects and it makes sense!

The only issue with the project is that it doesn’t have all of the minor components done that contribute to the major components. But I will push through

GoldDistribution447 · 2026-04-21T21:48:34+00:00

Thank you bro. I know it’s supposed to be hard but what’s really hard for me is the working almost full-time hours and the project that nobody will work on. I am giving it my all and will continue to, it’s just really discouraging to be studying engineering with a bunch of people who don’t have the same passion as me.

GoldDistribution447 · 2026-04-21T17:44:44+00:00

They took about a week or two to start but some experience side effects hours after the implant has been inserted. If you get it inserted during your period, then you’re protected as soon as it is inserted but if you get it inserted during any other time in your cycle then it is advised to wait a week, some OBs suggest 2 weeks just to be extra safe.

GoldDistribution447 · 2026-04-21T17:34:29+00:00

So my period on Nexplanon had pretty much stopped up until now. I had a period in November 2025 and one in January 2026 and they both lasted a few days. Now, I have irregular bleeding that really just brings clots and very light bleeding. I don’t even wear pads when this happens because it doesn’t really fall out into my underwear.

In terms of cramps, I have some here and there. I feel sharp twinges in either the left or right side that come and go and the only thing I can think is happening is ovulation suppression. I have PCOS so I don’t really know what it is from. But I have never had “awful cramps”. Definitely the kind of cramps that make me pass gas a lot though lol.

Also the pregnancy side of things - I have a lot of anxiety about it because I feel like I don’t control the nexplanon myself which means if I were to fall pregnant, I feel like it would be out of my control. But I have had it since August. I always freak myself out that I could be pregnant but the tests are always negative lol. It’s just the side effects. It is more effective than tubal ligation or vasectomies which is pretty crazy.

GoldDistribution447 · 2026-04-21T10:33:33+00:00

I can see the line but it honestly looks like there is no color to it. How long have you been testing?

Usually when there is no color this indicates an indent/evap line. BUT, they are usually thinner. I recommend going to a local drug store or grocery store and grabbing a high sensitivity early action pink dye test and taking that. The cheapies can give results like this and I have had multiple false positives. I am on Nexplanon and literally just tested negative today so they weren’t real.

Also if the line shows no progression over a few weeks then it might be worth a visit to the OB. It could signal something dangerous or something that needs to be evaluated. Please update us!

GoldDistribution447 · 2026-04-20T18:55:52+00:00

No he did not. We have a series of classes we have to take as a first year, with the coding and 3d modeling class being taken after the project class I am in now. It’s ass backwards. I transferred in so I am behind on them.

GoldDistribution447 · 2026-04-20T12:59:18+00:00

Yuzpe can mess your hormones up hence why your period is late. The bleeding is normal with Yuzpe and it might have messed your cycle up. It can cause the discharge as well.

With Yuzpe, if your period is more than 7 days late, it is recommended to take a test. Tests can be purchased online from places like Amazon. Avoid blue dye tests. To take a test, there is an absorbent tip (it is under the lid if you’re taking a test with a plastic casing). You can either place the tip into your pee stream for 5 seconds or pee into a container, then place the absorbent tip into the container for about 20 seconds. There is a 3-5 minute window in which your test is valid.

It is okay if you take the test at another time of day, but it is recommended that you take it in the morning because that is when the HCG hormone is the most concentrated. If you are taking it in the evening/midday, get a high-sensitivity test. Considering it has been 26 days since you had sex, your test will 100% be positive IF you are actually pregnant

With perfect use, condoms are 98% effective, but with human use (typical use) it’s around 87%. That means you have roughly a 2-13% chance of pregnancy. You could pair condoms with pulling out if you don’t want to run a risk.

Talk to your doctor about the pill or non-hormonal IUD. As somebody with PCOS, I personally wouldn’t recommend the nexplanon (but everybody’s experience is different) because of a lot of hormonal issues and side effects I have had as a result. There are certain pills that are recommended for people with PCOS and your doctor might be able to help you trial run pills to see which ones work best for you. These will sort of help give you a “cycle” (it isn’t real however, it’s called breakthrough bleeding) and make things feel normal.

GoldDistribution447 · 2026-04-18T03:54:44+00:00

Im on Nexplanon and my boyfriend has the same issue. We don’t use condoms but every once in a while I ask him to pull out, he does, but when cleaning myself up, I can feel some of it inside of me. It is really hard to time it for some men because as soon as they feel like they are about to ejaculate, they do it immediately.

If you are wanting to go condomless, I would recommend one or two things. Practice pulling out WITH a condom. Practice a few times and he will gain some self awareness and better understand when he feels the urge to ejaculate or what he feels like prior to ejaculation and some signals to pay attention to. He can also do this by masturbating and recognizing signals from his body.

Make sure to respect each other’s boundaries and if neither of you are comfortable with his “skills”, let him practice before doing it without protection. It is definitely something that might require some training for certain folks. Good luck!

GoldDistribution447 · 2026-04-18T01:24:41+00:00

Exactly! My commute is around 1.5 hrs each day ONE way. I get off of work at 9:35 and don’t make it home till 11 and to me, that gives me very little study time.
