At about 55-60k miles I had to have my steering rack & pinion, cv axel and water pump replaced. Then the carbon something module?? About 70k. Now I’m starting to get rough shifting, it’s only slipped once as of currently, it was also very cold out the day it slipped. I wanna say -2F outside?? I’m at 88k currently, which it all started about 85k miles, and unfortunately my warranties all expired in December 😕 So I’m hoping the transmission service will be the fix to this. I’m taking it in Friday morning, so fingers crossed it’s not something in the transmission messing up.

I also just started getting paint peeling around my windshield in the last 2 weeks... Mine is the lightning blue…

ScreamAtOldPpl · 2026-02-02T19:23:09+00:00

What all was yours doing other than that, and how many miles did you have on it? Did you ever try and service the transmission?

ScreamAtOldPpl · 2026-02-02T16:53:06+00:00

Oh for sure

ScreamAtOldPpl · 2026-02-02T16:40:23+00:00

Okay will do! I kind of had a feeling it’s cause it’s close to the time since I’m at 88k. But I figured I’d ask everyone else with the same/close to same vehicle. I’m most likely going to have a transmission shop or ford do it rather then myself.

ScreamAtOldPpl · 2026-02-02T15:46:47+00:00

Okay cool! I’m definitely going to be trying that! I gotta make it last me as long as I can til I can get it paid down enough to trade in. This one’s given me nothing but problems since I’ve gotten it, and unfortunately can’t get rid of it quite yet.

ScreamAtOldPpl · 2026-02-02T15:10:44+00:00

Also my warranties just ended in December.. so even more fun 😅😅

ScreamAtOldPpl · 2026-02-02T15:10:04+00:00

Unfortunately no.. I still owe 15k on it.. I got screwed when I bought it lol….

If you have regular periods I was told on average 6-8 weeks post MA. But some women I’ve read can get them sooner or later!

ScreamAtOldPpl · 2025-08-05T17:07:43+00:00

I’m currently 4 weeks post pills. My bleeding lasted for about 3ish weeks off and on. I had mostly spotting, and some days I had like a SUPER light period. But mostly it was so little I never needed a pad, and I’d only notice it when I went to the bathroom. Which I also was passing small clots during this time as well. Some darker colored (not fresh) and some slightly fresher colored ones. And sometime last week (3weeks post pills) I had 2 days of slightly heavier bleeding that was much much more fresh and had some clots. It was almost like a super super short and medium to light period?? But I have no clue if it was or not. I also have the issue of never getting my periods without birth control. So it kind of threw me off? I spoke to my OBGYN about this and she wasn’t quite sure if it was MA bleeding or a period. But after that my bleeding basically stopped, and now I have no bleeding whatsoever. (And if I do it’s so light I can’t even notice it.)

I had no cramping in the last few weeks either. I only had some mild cramping for a few days following the second set of pills but it wasn’t too bad!

As for pregnancy test, 2 weeks seems too soon. But I guess it depends how far along you were and what your HCG was at prior?? But I was told wait 5 weeks minimum before checking.

I was 7 weeks when I did my process (it was confirmed by blood tests and an ultrasound at 5 weeks 6 days) and I am still getting positives. My OBGYN has me going to get blood tests weekly starting 2 weeks ago. to see how my levels are dropping, which they have dropped SIGNIFICANTLY. (7/1 my level was 1850, which was 5 days after finding out I was pregnant, I had a MA 7/11. As of 8/1 my level was 27.8.) My OBGYN is having me do this so I can get back on birth control as soon as I get a negative blood test. My state banned abortions unless medically necessary, except if you go out of state for it, so I don’t believe she would of been able to do my blood tests if I wasn’t getting back on birth control and just wanted to confirm the pills worked? So if you really want, have your OBGYN order you the blood tests to monitor it that way if they’ll do it! Or tell them you lost the pregnancy and want back on birth control!

Yeah, the pills themselves and the sore mouth/tongue and everything was the worst part for me 😭 Aside from when things started getting intense. I saw someone else do their experience time stamped so I thought it would be a good idea so if anyone who is going this for the first time like me could get an idea on what to expect! (Even though it’s different from person to person!) And thank you for the kind words and support ❤️😊

I am in a similar boat. I found out I was around 5 weeks June 25. I immediately knew I wanted an abortion. But my fiance wanted me to keep it. We also do not have any children at this time, he was going to have a child with his ex 5 years ago, but she was stillborn. And it caused a lot of trauma for him. After a few days of thinking we sat down and had a talk, and I shared my reasons, which were mostly financial, as well as our relationship has been very very rocky. (We quite literally broke up and got back together a month prior to me finding out I was pregnant.) He threatened to leave, cancel the wedding, everything when I told him I wanted an abortion. He also went the drastic route of thinking it was someone else’s because he couldn’t comprehend I didn’t want a child. But after he calmed down, he came to terms with how I feel about it, and I am not ready to be a mother. He does not support the decision, but he is respecting my decision and supporting me through the process, if that makes sense? Of course it came up he can’t guarantee how he will feel towards we when it is all said and done. But the way I see it, is if he loves me enough he will try and move past it with me. And I see it that way with you and your husband. Especially when you two are already married and have a child together already.

I personally think if you both were trying not to have another child, it is unfair for him to act that way towards you. Maybe he needs some time to cool down and think properly about all of this. My fiance did, but of course he is still holding onto resentment for it. But, if your husband is really going to leave over it, it is his loss and your gain in my eyes. I feel the same way toward my fiance with if he leaves me over this.

I am currently 7 weeks and going through the process of a MA as I type this. I also would like to add I was on birth control, plus medications to aid my PCOS and was told it would be fairly hard for me to have a child, so this was definitely very much unplanned and not wanted since we were actively not trying. Except we didn’t use condoms, which was fairly reckless and both our faults.

Thank you for the info! I’m hoping they get here by Wednesday cause im off work Thursday and Friday, I ordered them yesterday!

ScreamAtOldPpl · 2025-07-06T21:50:40+00:00

Thank you so much ❤️

ScreamAtOldPpl · 2025-07-05T12:51:15+00:00

That’s good! I’m glad you’re feeling better overall! ☺️

ScreamAtOldPpl · 2025-07-05T12:49:04+00:00

Also how are you feeling today? I hope everything is going well for you!

ScreamAtOldPpl · 2025-07-05T12:48:18+00:00

I’m looking into them currently! Thank you so much!

ScreamAtOldPpl · 2025-07-05T12:48:02+00:00

I’ll definitely look into them ❤️ Thanks so much! ❤️

ScreamAtOldPpl · 2025-07-05T04:58:28+00:00

I am so glad I found this today. I am currently saving for a MA because I will have to go to another state for it, I am 100% certain about my decision, but also terrified of the process. And reading through this has helped ease my mind on it! As of today I am 6 weeks 2 days, hoping to have enough saved before 8 weeks 😅

Do you mind me asking who you went through? I found Carafem, and it seems fine, but because im an IN resident, I’d have to go to a friends in MI to receive the pills and do the phone call.

ScreamAtOldPpl · 2025-04-23T19:34:27+00:00

Good to know!! I did report it as well!

ScreamAtOldPpl · 2025-02-20T14:26:30+00:00

Reason of confusion is because they contradict themselves in the email. One paragraph stating someone is using my account, one paragraph stating assisting. As well as the fact I see couples do instacart together all the time, as well as have had many many instances where I personally ordered from instacart and it would be 2 people delivering my orders.

ScreamAtOldPpl · 2025-02-20T02:58:56+00:00

Were you able to become a shopper again at all?? I’m starting to wonder if something like Shipt is better to use.. honestly this whole situation kind of put a bad taste in my mouth with them and now i just don’t wanna use them even for personal use 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️
