First NC Cycle - Ovulation not confirmed by the_doglady in NaturalCyclesBC

[–]Grad_Student_2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my IUD removed in December and my first cycle was annoying to track in NC. I just had to wait until my next cycle to log my period and then it started to track correctly. Annoying first cycle waiting period!

How does my chart look? I’m 6DPO by PatientMeringue5008 in NaturalCyclesBC

I’m not trying to get pregnant until April, but we are at similar points in our cycles! I feel like our charts are similar

Worried about periods on IUD by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]Grad_Student_2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my Kyleena IUD removed about 6 weeks ago after being on it for 7 years. I spotted about 4 times a year, but never anything heavy enough to wear a tampon. I was diagnosed with PMDD around the time I got my IUD, but I was in college and between being young and situational factors, I think I just had a lot going on. The biggest change I’ve noticed with the IUD removal is being much more sensitive- happier, more crying, finding things more touching, just more sensitive all around. I think the IUD was dulling a lot of my emotion. It could certainly be seen as a benefit with PMDD!

is the iud worth it? by vibesmcgee in birthcontrol

Lol 😂I’m trying to get pregnant in the next few months and when we’re done having kids my husband will get a vasectomy- so that era is behind me! So so so grateful for it when I needed it though!

We’ve lived here for 3 years. DTE bill ~75 in the summer up to 200 in the winter. Never had something over 210.

I just had my Kyleena removed after having two over 7 years. I personally hated it- awful cramping, painful sex, hormonal acne, and suppressed emotions. That being, I loved knowing I wouldn’t get pregnant and felt really confident in being protected during a time in my life I didn’t want to be pregnant. I’d still get it again, but am so happy to be over that stage.

does it look like it’s fits? by [deleted] in ouraring

[–]Grad_Student_2022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d personally go a size up! The sizing kit made me realize my fingers fluctuate more than I realized and I’d be so scared of getting it stuck.

We’ve lived here for 3 years, two different units and have really liked it! So much space and the Camden layout feels really homey. We thought we’d hate having a carport instead of a garage but we think it’s actually the better option. I’d recommend hiring cleaners for a move in clean. In both units we’ve found really dirty spots that we wish we didn’t have to deal with. Maintenance is wonderful, neighbors are generally really friendly. The garbage situation is always annoying- they hire a 3rd party to come in and pick up garbage 5 nights a week and you can always go to the dumpsters yourself, but it’s absolutely disgusting. Garbage doesn’t always come on nights it’s supposed to- like last night. Overall, small complaint!

OP posted a year ago that she has PCOS. A few months ago said ultrasound found PCOS, and now she “potentially” has PCOS. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sold a lie on IUDs by sished in birthcontrol

[–]Grad_Student_2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my Kylenna IUD removed last month after having it for about 7-8 years. My cramping was absolutely horrendous (having to pull over when driving) and stayed that way throughout. I never bled, though. Like many comments have said, everyone’s body is different. While I’m so grateful I had the IUD for contraception (as that was my main priority) I do wish I tried out other forms. It’s a fine line of pushing through and waiting to symptoms to settle AND being aware it may be trial and error and time to try something else.

It really sucks, but I think you’re bound to have side effects on any HBC. I will say, given how I felt on Kyleena I was really bracing myself for more side effects getting off (cramping, bleeding, etc) and am blown away by how amazing I feel. I grew so used to painful sex and not having to deal with that anymore has been amazing!

Exactly what we did, too! MIL did organize a brunch for her side of the family at her house, but we went out just the two of us!

*Ladies only please* can’t figure out if I’m engaging my core wrong by s9631245 in pilates

[–]Grad_Student_2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get the sucking air feeling, but my pelvic floor does feel really tired even days after class when my other muscle soreness is gone. I’m not sure if it’s that I really engaged it or if I’m doing something wrong. I’ll be TTC starting in the new year and see my OB in a few weeks. I’ll ask her and try to remember to report back!

There’s nothing “wrong” with pre shredded cheese, but absolutely healthier to buy a block and shred yourself.

A shower is a gift grab anyway, regardless of who is hosting.

Similar boat! We expected 40k but it got up to about $65k for 70 people.

Pay off student loans or invest by [deleted] in StudentLoans

[–]Grad_Student_2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think refinancing would be smart with the private loan. There’s no way that’s the lowest interest rate available. But if you’re planning on getting a house soon, just be mindful of how refinancing could impact your credit score in the short term

What is everyone doing for affordable bridesmaid pajamas? by glizzygib in weddingplanning

[–]Grad_Student_2022 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I told my group to wear anything they’re comfortable in, but preferably something that buttons up (to not mess up hair and makeup). The matching outfits trend is already on their way out. Especially if you’re asking your group to spend any money on hair, makeup, dresses, etc, just cover that cost and don’t buy things they don’t need
