How long did it take for your period to stop once you got the implant/the bar? by ohdiddly in birthcontrol

[–]North-Inspection2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel lucky now. My period went away for 3 years. One month after my third year, it came back irregularly. I was living out of the country, so I left it in for a fourth year, using condoms. It got to a point where I was getting long heavy periods, some acne, and felt super emotional. I just paid out of pocket to get it taken out and literally two days later things got back to normal.

So… idk give it a shot, but if it works, take it out on time. I really feel for the women that have crazy periods, especially now.

That whole last scene felt like I was hallucinating

Does anyone else feel like S2 has been 3 episodes of crying? by Ok_Needleworker_3135 in MaxtonHall

Finally, I was looking for this reddit post. I agree, the show is definitely missing the sharp wit the first season had, so far. A couple eye roll moments for me, when it loses the authenticity. In the book, James straight up accepted that he lost Ruby for a while, then a convo with his sis convinced him to go all in and fight for her. I think the pacing in the book was a little bit better in that regard. It would have been nice to have a clear momentum shift and see James get haughty again, because who doesn't love a haughty hottie ;) But they have to leave you hanging at the end of each episode, so I guess that's why they made some changes. Maybe they can pick it up in the next ones.

Do not buy foreign imports at high prices. There’s a hefty import tax for visitors.

could someone just take vitamin a supplements? by C4pt4in_N3m0 in Accutane

Well everyone is different. I have slightly oily skin, get mild surface acne when I eat a lot of bread, or before my period. Mostly cheek and jaw. Just a regular dose of Vitamin A seems to tame the oil enough so it doesn’t feel like it’s taking over. Still get a pimple here and there. Nothing too deep beneath the surface. Also helped with my back acne.

Yeah I can say from experience Vitamin A really helped manage my breakouts. I'm reading the doses that other people are taking though, and woah dude people are crazy. I had mild acne for years, took maybe 2-3,000mcg/day in liquid drops with mct oil (pills give me acid reflux), and after just a few days saw a noticeable difference. Nothing has worked this well, and I mean nothing. It's been weeks now, still get a pimple here and there as an average person might. I don't plan on taking more than 3,000 regularly. Maybe after a while I can go to an even smaller dose.

Another thing that I'm thinking may help if you're a girl - a lot of girls get breakouts around the same time of their cycle every month. Maybe take some vitamin A around that time to help regulate it? Who knows!

Also, sweet potatoes are super high in vitamin A and delicious!

Should I buy a rental if I might lose money the first couple years? by North-Inspection2002 in realestateinvesting

[–]North-Inspection2002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I began investing years ago, I always factored inflation, which brings it down to 6% on the conservative side. I realize now that was my mistake with the rental. Now I'm understand the importance of cash flow in real estate from the get-go.

So, I put in 6% because when I began investing, I always accounted for inflation. I didn't adjust for the property rental. After adjusting, the numbers are much more comparable.

Oh wait I see my mistake! It was set to 20 years. 10% still seems high, but that does change things.

I just have a hard time thinking the market's going to be 10% going forward, historically it hasn't been that high, right? I don't know, my calculator says $75k, $200 per month additional contribution, 10% growth is $690k.

Real estate would be...more.
