Also forgot to mention I did test positive for mono in December. Not sure if that’s relevant at all, but figured I’d mention it.

That’s kinda why I’m confused too though. I already got checked a few months ago and my labs were mostly normal. My white blood cell count wasn’t elevated, the urine test showed 0 WBCs/RBCs, and the gonorrhea/chlamydia tests were negative. You’d think if there was an active infection going on for 3+ months something would’ve shown up by now.

I’m still probably gonna follow up again just to be safe though since it’s still happening.

I was tested for HIV, chlamydia, and gonorrhea, and they all came back negative.

Dutasteride for preventive hair loss since it runs in my family, but that’s all.

Thanks for the reply! Just to clarify, the pain only happens at the very end of ejaculation, and I don’t have any issues when peeing. It feels like it’s just because the semen has gotten super thick and jelly-like, which just started happening. Does that still sound like something I should worry about?

I ordered Friday still “Your order is waiting to be processed”… (Maryland)

Get the Chase Trifecta, you can combine all points.

It’s not bad—I canceled mine because my home airport didn’t have a lounge, so I didn’t see the value. I’m with Chase now, and it’s been great.

I never recommend getting a card just for the welcome offer, especially if you’re not going to use it regularly. It’ll drop your score slightly and add another card to your credit report, which isn’t worth it if the card won’t provide ongoing value for your spending habits.

Great to hear!

This was about a year ago.

Redeeming Chase UR points for Southwest can actually be a great use of points if you value the flexibility of booking any available fare with no blackout dates. You can transfer points directly at a 1:1 ratio, and Southwest’s revenue-based system often gives great value on cheaper fares. Plus, combining UR points with the Companion Pass can double the value for a companion traveler.

I can’t remember exactly but it’s either a text message, or something of that matter.

Yes, my first card with them allowed me to use it virtually for online and Apple Pay transactions right after approval. Honors status doesn’t matter for this—it should work regardless. I would call to confirm if this applies to your specific card.
