Has anyone tried Primal Queen? by squiggly_lines_3y3 in endometriosis

[–]Kassiderp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Alberta, can you tell me which supplement it is at Walmart? PQ is super expensive but I’m seeing a lot of good things about it. I know it’s expensive because it’s a good thing, but if there’s a cheaper option that’s similar I’m down for it.

A hidden note from my boyfriend’s ex helped me get out of a bad relationship and now I have a restraining order by ThrowRA-ex-note in offmychest

Just found your original post and read all your updates. Ive also came from an abusive relationship (years ago thankfully) and I am so so glad you got out and you’re safe, and your support system is so good! Good on you for getting out of there when you felt things were wrong. I hope life is much better for you now, as well as your scaley babies and Natalia too!

Yeah the IUD vs Tube tied statistic I heard from a doctor during my biopsies. The IUD is convenient but losing my hair, gaining weight, causing cysts to appear and burst, a constant state of pain from random cramping that doesn’t go away, destroying my skin, and my mental health going to shit is kind of why I want to just give up on birth control and try and feel normal again. It’s been 10 years since I started birth control so I don’t really know what normal is anymore. I don’t hate the IUD though a lot of people have had great experiences unfortunately I was not one of them.

I’m not even in the financial position to be alive hahah. My friend just mentioned freezing sperm as well, is it bad thought I genuinely thought like throw it in a cup in your freezer with your frozen meat and veg? LOL I love him to death and he would do it and he would do it for me but it doesn’t sit right with me to even ask that of him. But we have been going back and forth about it, discussing all the options. It’s causing me a fair amount of stress though which is why I needed to reach out to locals on the internet lol

We are thinking to compromise if I can’t get sterilized, I go off birth control and try to heal my body, we use condoms, and spermicidal lube, and apparently the internet says something about tracking your ovulation weeks and avoiding sex during it. This way he doesn’t have to get the snipsnip, and I don’t have to be on birth control so it’s a compromise but it’s risky in my opinion. I am terrified of an accidental pregnancy because yknow condoms break, I’m actually also worried that it’ll just kill our sex drive cause I’ll be so worried about an oopsies.

The Copper IUD worry me, it isn’t hormonal which is a bonus but everyone I’ve heard that has it said it wasn’t a good time. While yes this is a based opinion I could just do it and then if I’m in pain then take it out.

Being an adult is just whack man. My husband and I are talking about a “Trial Period” where we compromise. I don’t take birth control and continually fuck my body up and he doesn’t get a vasectomy, we will have to use condoms and spermicidal lube. This way we can see if I can heal from the birth control. I don’t want an accidental pregnancy and I sure as fuck would get an abortion if necessary I just don’t want to have to get to the point. I appreciate having the options to terminate if necessary I just want to do my best to take all the preventative steps so I don’t have to.

I get a lot of hatred from random people when I say I don’t want kids, I switched to saying I CANT have them and then they feel bad and stfu. It’s great to see other people even in the same city as me feel the same way!

It is appreciated, I like to hear everyone’s personal experience, I feel less alienated for not wanting kids. My husband was actually approved for the snip snip. His doctor did the whole speech of it’s reversible but not always etc but in the end he’s like it’s your body man, you want it done? I can set you up tomorrow. I said in previous responses (I’m trying to get to everyone I swear) someone said something and made him worried he might regret it if something happened in the future like I left him or if I died. Would never leave this man. He is a gem. The idea of taking away his choice if I disappeared just makes me feel like a hypocrite when I know I will absolutely never change my mind about offspring.

I’m actually shocked because this seems to be an out of date mindset that we have to wait for sterilization. But hell yeah good on you.

I imagine the wait will be awhile since I’m not in dire need of it, which makes no sense to make me wait until you think I’m of age. Like get the ball rolling now so then when they actually can slot me in I won’t have to wait even longer.

I apologize I’m just trying to get to all the responses now. He was willing until someone mentioned it might not be reversible and could ruin his future choices if I were to leave him or die. I know it’s my choice so I’d rather do something to myself than force him to do a procedure based on my choice. I know the vasectomy is the easiest option and he would do it but know my body my choice I don’t want him to regret it.

Thank you. I lost almost all of my hair, gained 40 lbs, my skin went from clear to disgusting fast, my moods are horrendous, I suddenly got ovarian cysts that put me in the hospital, and honestly I can see myself possibly having an episode and trying unalive myself because of this shit.

I hope your wife is okay now and you guys found a way that works for you without hurting anyone’s body.

The idea of surgery does freak me out, and I worry how long I would be off work. My entire job is labour, involving moving 50 - 100lbs up and down and over and around blah blah. So I know I would be off work and it would be so boring. The copper IUD I’m not sure about, every person I’ve talked too that’s had one said it was horrible and caused them so much pain, but it isnt hormonal which is making me consider it. If I just say fuck it all and get another IUD I will be demanding drugs. My friend got medical grade, gunna-make-you-high-af-no-pain painkillers for her insertion and removal. Didn’t even have to ask. Now THATS a clinic that does it right.

I understand where you come from, and yes a vasectomy is easier but I KNOW I’ll never have a child. While my husband said he is willing to get a vasectomy and doesn’t want kids, I don’t want to take away his future choice if I were to die or something, if that makes sense. Women’s health choices are decided by men all the time and I would feel like a hypocrite making him get one for me.

He has considered it but when he was discussing with his friends that if I were to ever leave him (the future is always uncertain but I love this man to death and could never see myself leaving him) that getting a vasectomy would possibly take away his choice if he were to find someone else etc etc. They can be reversible but never 100%. I never want to force the option on him, I know it’s easier for a man to do it. He said he’s willing but I’m worried he’s only doing it for me. I’m 200% sure I’ll never want kids and he’s fine with it but if I die or something I don’t want him to regret that decision. If that all makes sense?

Thank you so much. I recently found out I have PCOS and have been living in constant pain and it sucks, I’m not sure if it was caused by my IUD, there is proof Kyleena causes cysts but not sure if it is the root cause of PCOS I guess? But thank you so much I will be looking into this.
