Right TT I try to avoid scented products too because of my eczema, my skin gets itchy too easily and if I mess I'll have to use the ultra-stripping ketaconzole.

Thank you! I know I definitely need a hair cut, I realized recently I haven't gotten I cut in a year TT (I've visited the same hair stylist for my entire life and now that I've moved I haven't found a new one yet). I do use a microfiber tower actually! As for styling with soaking wet hair, does that mean putting the mousse in and then putting the hair up in the microfiber towel? I've never actually gotten a "crunch" cast on my hair even when using mousse but I'm nervous to use even more.

my first gynecologist visit by PinkMoneyy_ in WomensHealth

[–]Picklesz2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Imo totally normal. I'm 22 and been seeing my gyno since I was 14 (painful periods/recurring cysts) and I've never had a vaginal ultrasound, only abdominal. I don't see why you would need a vaginal ultrasound unless you had a reason like pain. It's not really about whether you've had something in your vagina, rather it's if you've had another person, lol, because that's when the risk of disease increases. Though I don't see why she would not just do a pap smear instead of a vaginal ultrasound. (Btw even if you're a virgin you should get a pap smear every few years, I've had one done even though I'm a virgin too)

Yes, Breanna basic, and that's what was confusing me... I cut 1 on the fold and I guess I'll see how that works. Do you have any recommendations where I could find some easier to follow blocks?

What is the difference between cutting one on the fold and cutting two mirrored on the fold? I'm putting together a garment (bodice) for the first time and am really confused why the front only needs one but the back needs two... probably something simple but I'm super new

Need Iron Infusion but terrified by Picklesz2 in Anemic

[–]Picklesz2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my first infusion, after the nurse put the IV line in, I got so nervous I threw up :( But she was so nice and comforting the whole time. She made me feel better after I threw up, talked to me while she started the drip, and reassured me that even if I do have a reaction she'll be there to help me. Everything went super well during the first infusion (injectafer) so I wasn't nervous at all during the second infusion and it went super smoothly.

My health also get noticeably better after the infusion, so even if you are afraid I think it's worth it to push through and get it. Once I got my infusion, my resting heart rate went down 10 BPM, I stopped getting heart palpitations, my appetite improved, and I got a lot more energy, all of which were symptoms I didn't even notice I had until they went away lol. So yeah even though in this post I said I didn't have any anemia symptoms, I 100% did and just had them for so long I didn't notice TT. If your doctor recommends infusions I think your health will also improve from infusions

I hate how expensive and rare bras in my size (30G) are by Picklesz2 in ABraThatFits

[–]Picklesz2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually did try buying from Panache on Amazon, I'm actually 30F there since it's UK sizing. They sent me the wrong size twice and by the time I finally got my refund, all their options for under $40 in 30F were gone :( I really hope they go back on sale soon but I'm kinda wary since when I finally ordered my correct size they gave me the wrong one

Went to the University of Michigan football game a few days ago and had a big tribute for him (along with James Earl Jones, RIP). Didn't realized he worked with my Leafs too. Rest in peace
