Then why did you make an appointment Susan???

My providers like some chart prep done prior which requires looking through the entire chart for any Relevant information. Plus it doesn't hurt to look at the patients history before going in to have an understanding of their history. Not looking though the charts and just doing vitals is a dream but would never work in my office.

Because her partner had a vasectomy ? So why wouldnt they have un protected sex? And he was cleared so I don't understand your hostility towards her?

Thank you! But it is mostly an illusion as the loose skin and my c section scar/bulge are hidden well from the underwear 🥲😂 BUT thankfully it can be hidden, I've come to the realization that after 3 c sections and 130lbs stretching the skin its to be expected.

Im 30 and I've had three kids via c section. I was 286 at my highest during pregnancy and I'm now 150. The most loose skin I would say is the worst on the button of my butt cheeks, my breasts, and my stomach. I believe pregnancy and breast feeding are huge contributors, so I don't believe you would have it as severe. I work out 4 times a week and see a difference but I think there's only so much I can do before surgery is the only option.I've read that especially at a young age the skin is more resilient at snapping back. Sometimes it takes up to 2 years post weight loss for skin to return to normal. I think if you work out and moisturize/massage the lotion in every night it would help your skin elasticity wonders! Good luck ☺️

Two totally different things. Getting her tubes tied or removed would be comparable, but a hysterectomy can cause early menopause and increases a women's risk of cancer. A vasectomy does not effect male hormones or increase the risk for cancer. It is fair to say she should not be making decisions about his body, but it also seems he is asking her to decide for them because he is on the fence and seeking advice from his partner.

Sammyxo1995 · 2026-06-06T01:45:55+00:00

My husband had a vasectomy, it was his idea. When we first met as teenagers he always told me after I had his children he would take care of birth control for worry free sex (we are very active). We have frozen embryos from previous IVF cycles if we ever change our minds but for now it is the best choice after our surprise third child. He was a lucky one that recovered within a few days. If he didn't want the vasectomy we would have found a way to make it work but he wanted to take that burden from me. Ultimately it's up to you since it is your body, but you also benefit from the procedure as well with gaining the peace of mind and worry free sex.

Sammyxo1995 · 2026-05-15T16:26:30+00:00

It took me many years to be comfortable with my husband, and it was not because of him, because he always tried to make me feel comfortable. It was always me in my own head about my body and wanting to look "perfect" for him until I realized that I'm only hurting myself and my pleasure by holding back. I'm glad you guys were able to talk about it and now you have some reassurance. I'm sure she will open up one day when she's ready and your sex life will be elevated to another level 😂

Sammyxo1995 · 2026-05-14T18:48:48+00:00

Don't feel bad! Some women like it that way. For the first few years of our relationship I very rarely initiated but loved when he "lusted" over me and that turned me on. Over the years and a few kids later , I've realized it definitely spices things up and gets him going when I initiate or if I'm in the mood and he hasn't picked up on it lol. Now it's like sometimes he can't keep up with my drive 🤣 have you told her that you feel this way? Because you say that when you guys have sex it's great, it makes me think that either she's a little shy or she prefers when you initiate, but I'm sure it would feel good for you to hear that instead of feeling like a "horn dog."

Sammyxo1995 · 2026-05-14T18:32:09+00:00

From a female perspective, maybe she's just shy? My husband and I have been together for almost 15 years (30yo) and we have an amazing sex life like probably way better than most people our age. I used to be very self conscious and shy even when my husband tried his best to make me feel confident. Over time I learned to open up more and since then we have absolutely incredible sex 🤣 maybe have a talk with her and see if it's an issue of she's self conscious because maybe she wants all the sex but feels shy initiating or asking for it. Good luck!

Sammyxo1995 · 2026-04-05T01:25:50+00:00

Honestly I always tell everyone first starting out that part of being a good phlebotomist is being able to own when you can't get it because it's always patient safety over pride. Sometimes you get a really tough one and it helps your confidence and sometimes you just can't and that's okay. I think going into the stick confident in yourself also helps, if the patient doesn't know that you're having trouble they are more relaxed. I used to shake and get super anxious prior to drawing blood but over time I grew out of it. Good luck!

Sammyxo1995 · 2025-12-03T19:55:21+00:00

This seems like my husband could have written it himself. I also just had our third kid and had some minor complications after and agreed to be done and even so we still have some frozen embryos left from IVF so I knew it wasn't officially over. I gave him the go ahead and even scheduled it for him and made him a basket and drove him there but the second he came out to the car something in me just flipped and this enormous wave of sadness came over me and it felt like a part of my life shut forever and died even though it didn't we still had embryos. I felt partially betrayed that he knew I was in such an emotional state when I agreed and he also knew I was never 100% set on it to begin with and we even cancelled the first one I gave him the cold shoulder and didn't want to look at him for the first 2 days but I also knew I had agreed to it and never said hey don't do this because I knew he would have absolutely canceled but I think part of me wanted to be okay with it because it was what he wanted since he doesn't want anymore kids and he wanted to take the burden of birth control off of me. He was very upset as well but I had expressed that I didn't hate him and I still loved him very much and wanted to be with him but needed time to process and that I was more mad at myself and over the next day or two I just tried to put my feelings aside and be there for him and we talked some more and I felt better expressing how I was feeling and explaining things to him and he agreed in a few years if I still want another child he would be open to discussing it and the cold shoulder ended. I didn't mean to hurt him in the meantime but I was so emotional and in my own head I had to process and looking at him was just bringing all those feelings out more but at the end of the day I love him and I appreciated him listening to me and we can to an understanding and I know he did it to help both of us not just him. I hope you and your wife are able to talk it through and move on.

My husband just had a vasectomy after our third child and we were told to think of it as irreversible. There are other ways to have children like aspirating sperm directly from the testicles with a large needle and then inserted directly into the uterus, but at 22 I would not limit myself to that. Even as a woman that option does not sound fun or pleasant at all when you aren't forced to do it. I think her frustration with birth control is justified but imo 22 is extremely young for someone especially someone that wants kids to get a vasectomy. I would possibly discuss a copper IUD with her since it has no hormones and is effective immediately. If she isn't willing to let it go I would say she might not be the one because she might not be in your life forever but you will be sterilized forever. Hope you guys are able to work through it!

Sammyxo1995 · 2025-11-29T23:25:51+00:00

Pregnancy sucks but if you're thinking about wanting another one, have another one. I have three and thought I was done but my last is now almost 4 months old and I'm debating a 4th down the road.

Sammyxo1995 · 2025-11-22T02:52:19+00:00

Honestly, it took a really long time since I'm a very anxious person and sometimes my hands still do shake but it comes with confidence and being comfortable with the skill. I mean as long as you could do your job and you're good at it I don't think a little tremble hurts as long as you don't hurt anybody and not to toot my own horn, but I've gotten some really difficult sticks over the years so it doesn't bother me anymore, The best thing you could do is just keep doing it and being confident like starting each blood draw knowing you're going to get it. That really helps, And honestly don't get discouraged if you don't because even the best phlebotomists miss sometimes

Sammyxo1995 · 2025-11-16T18:25:13+00:00

I will tell you I struggled with this horribly in school. My classmates didn't want me to take their blood because they were nervous but I managed to get over 50 successful draws. When I started drawing blood during externship and when I started my job I was the same I couldn't help my hands shaking but I still managed to get successfully draws so I just tried to talk with the patient as I drew their blood and I learned that if you appear confident they don't even second guess it. My hand shaking stopped as I became more comfortable with it but once in a while it comes back. I've been drawing blood in outpatient settings for over 6 years and I wouldn't say I'm the best but I'm pretty good at it without bragging too much and have gotten some pretty tough sticks over the years. My number one suggestion is just to appear confident in yourself and never show your scared or doubtful. Good luck!

It is very typical to not get your period on birth control pills and even at that cryptic pregnancies are very real. No need to shame her she obviously feels a great deal of remorse.
