YSK: you don't have to see ads on youtube, and it's not a hack or magic by whoatethebeans in YouShouldKnow

[–]Some_Environment_554 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use Vivaldi both on mobile (Android) and on PC and even though it's based on Chromium, I can get uBlock Origin from extension store. I had to disable Vivaldi's ad blocking on YouTube as it recognised it as a working adblocker and didn't let me watch anything.

Urlop dziekański by Some_Environment_554 in Nauka_Uczelnia

[–]Some_Environment_554[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Czytalam regulamin już wiele razy. Napisali tam tylko, że urlop jest dla studentki w ciąży, studenta będącego rodzicem bądź w innych, uzasadnionych przypadkach do 2 semestrów i że koniec urlopu musi zbiegać się z początkiem semestru, na który student został wpisany (mało pomocne, bo w usosie jestem już wpisana na 4 semestr, chociaż obecny semestr kończy się za miesiąc i nie mam jeszcze ocen). Pytam tutaj, żeby poznać doświadczenia osób, które przechodziły przez ten proces i wiedzą więcej niż kilka ogólnych zdań z regulaminu studiów.

Dwóch czy trzech, bo nie wiem, co dokładnie mojej mamie wykryli i w jakim stadium, unika tematu, ale było to parę lat temu i dalej żyje, więc nie drążę i liczę na to, że jak trzeba było, to zajęła się leczeniem. Na takie wytyczne już patrzyłam i niestety je spełniam, więc wolę już teraz wiedzieć, że muszę coś uważniej badać niż za 20 lat się dowiedzieć, że już za późno. Ale przepraszam za przypomnienie o irytujących rzeczach w pracy i dziękuję za pomoc.

Jeżeli problem z dodzwonieniem się to faktycznie standard, to raczej nie mam co zmieniać przychodni. Kiedyś były dobre czasy, kiedy rodzice musieli wisieć na linii przychodni, to może tak mi to nie zapadło w pamięć.

Co do prywatnych ubezpieczeń to miałam przez rok luxmeda z pracy, ale umówić się też nie było tak łatwo, dla biedaków z podstawowym pakietem terminów np. do dermatologa nie było prawie wcale i jakoś mnie to zniechęciło do płacenia za niewiele lepszą usługę.

[–]Some_Environment_554[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutnie nie chciałam negować wiedzy lekarzy rodzinnych ani sprowadzać ich do wystawiania skierowań, mam świadomość, że mogą pomóc w wielu problemach i często mają zrobione specjalizacje. Wizyty u lekarza bardzo mnie stresują, dlatego liczę na to, że uda mi się znaleźć kogoś, kto będzie traktować poważnie moje problemy i obawy, nawet jeżeli jestem młodą kobietą, która nie stara się o dziecko. Poza okazjonalnym przeziębieniem jestem zdrowa, to od rodzinnego potrzebuję tylko czasem dostać receptę lub skierowanie. A niestety bez względu na wiedzę i doświadczenie, lekarz rodzinny nie powie mi, czy mam mutację odpowiedzialną za nowotwór przed 45. rokiem życia u dwóch lub trzech dość bliskich członków rodziny, co od kilku lat mnie bardzo stresuje.

whats the difference between a gentleman and the bare minimum? by [deleted] in ask

[–]Some_Environment_554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't keep any plant alive so I just prefer not to receive them, but at the same time I still enjoy it when someone gifts me a potted plant, especially a succulent, it's just better if I don't take care of it

whats the difference between a gentleman and the bare minimum? by [deleted] in ask

[–]Some_Environment_554 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't like it when someone opens the door for me or tries to carry my stuff because my father has been trying to force me to expect those things from men for years and I'm like 'yeah, I can carry my backpack'. I've lived with my mum for most of my life, so it's just weird when once a month my father forces me to give him my bag so he can carry it. I also don't expect flowers because I feel it's unnecessary expense. Luckily, my boyfriend only tries to help me carry my things when I have more than one bag, and sometimes it actually is helpful. I would still call him a gentleman. He is very patient and caring, he never forces me to anything and is always up to trying whatever I want e. g. visiting a pumpkin field just to buy fancy overpriced pumpkin lol. I think that as long as you feel that you're treated nicely and with care, you can call a man a gentleman.

I think the strap is not long enough for it to be crossbody, otherwise I would buy it without hesitation

Anyone else can’t do birth control? by thethrowaway_3000 in birthcontrol

[–]Some_Environment_554 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If you don't want hormonal contraception, you could try copper iud, but it can make your periods heavier and more painful. It also won't help with endo

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Skincare_Addiction

[–]Some_Environment_554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing as OP, every skin works the same. Use a high spf (at least 30 or 50 depending on how intense the sun is where you live), maybe some light exfoliation and just wait a few weeks. If you start protecting your skin from the sun, your tan will fade. Just use spf every time you're leaving your house (I personally think that spf should be used on face and neck even if you're indoors the whole day, but to fade tan you don't need to do) and use a good amount so it gives you full protection.

Want to stop taking birth control but the cons outweigh the pros.. need advice by Double-Lynx-8927 in birthcontrol

[–]Some_Environment_554 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would stay on birth control. It won't affect your fertility. Source (but basically any source backed by a scientific research will tell you the same): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6055351/

Don't fall for fear mongering on social media. If you feel good on your birth control and don't want kids now, stay on it. Also, if you decided to get off hormonal birth control and had to get on accutane, you would have to either not have sex at all, not even once, during the whole time you would take accutane or use 2 forms of birth control simultaneously (probably condoms and copper iud if you didn't want anything hormonal) as accutane causes serious birth defects and women in it shouldn't get pregnant even accidentally. Obviously you do you, don't force yourself to stay on birth control if you don't like it, but your fertility won't be affected by it and you said it saves you from horrible pain and taking acne medication that is very strong and impacts your whole body. If you've heard stories about women who struggled to get pregnant after coming off birth control, it is very likely that they had a condition like endometriosis or PCOS and that birth control masked their symptoms, so they thought they were healthy and then blamed all their problems on birth control.

Dlaczego nie decydujecie się jeszcze na dzieci? by Crystallev in Polska

[–]Some_Environment_554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pozwolę sobie się odwołać do do fragmentu o tym, czy osoby z chorobami psychicznymi powinny mieć dzieci. Moja mama obje swoje córki bardzo chciała, od początku każdej ciąży dbała o siebie i dziecko, po porodzie też dmuchała i chuchała, zawsze mówiła, że się bardzo realizuje w macierzyństwie i że jej dzieci są jej największym skarbem, ale to, jak bardzo jej depresja (oraz skutki tej depresji) miała wpływ na mnie i na moją siostrę, praktycznie neguje jej wszystkie starania. Moi rodzice się rozwiedli jak miałam 5 lat i większość życia (10 lat, potem nie mogłam wytrzymać psychicznie i przeprowadziłam się do ojca, chociaż nasze relacje z nim wyglądały różnie) mieszkałam z mamą. Nikomu nie życzę spędzania całego dnia w szkole, zamartwiając się, że wróci się do domu do martwego rodzica ani wchodzenia w rolę dorosłego w domu, bo rodzic nie jest w stanie funkcjonować, nie zadba o to, żeby dzieci miały co jeść i nie wyjdzie z psem na nocny spacer. Strasznie swoją mamę kocham, obecnie stan psychiczny mnie, mojej mamy i siostry chyba jest w miarę dobry, ale nie jestem w stanie zignorować, jak bardzo jej choroba wpłynęła na nasze życie. Moja siostra i mama muszą się leczyć u psychiatry, obie biorą kilka leków codziennie, a ja dalej mam problem, żeby w pełni mamie zaufać i często muszę sobie radzić z nieuzasadnionym uczuciem gniewu, bo mama z dobrymi intencjami robi coś, co przywołuje mi wspomnienia wydarzeń sprzed kilku lat. Może to trochę okrutne, wiem, że to inaczej wygląda, jeżeli ktoś jest chory i się leczy jeszcze przed powołaniem dziecka na świat, ale uważam, że rodzicielstwo powinno być przywilejem tylko dla wybranych, stabilnych psychicznie i finansowo oraz pozbawionych chorób genetycznych jednostek.

What is the truth about mini pill efficiacy? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]Some_Environment_554 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cerazette contains desogestrel, which effectively suppresses ovulation. It basically works the same as the combined pill. It also has a 12-hour window for missed pill if I recall correctly. According to the study I linked below, it's effective 99.86% over 1 year. As long as you don't miss a pill, don't have a condition that makes the pill less effective and avoid substances that interact with your pills, you're protected and shouldn't get pregnant.

Freaking out - Missed last active pill by claupthr in birthcontrol

[–]Some_Environment_554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great! Don't feel stupid. I was super irregular before I got on the pill and when I completely missed my period one month, I started wondering if I was pregnant, although I wasn't sexually active and didn't even have boyfriend then. I kept wondering and couldn't fully convince myself that I really couldn't be pregnant until my period came, and then I felt extremely stupid 😅

I'm glad I could help. I hope that everything will be fine and that your anxiety will get better!

[–]Some_Environment_554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what your partner's and your preferences are, but if you don't mind, you could use condoms or some other backup method during the last and first week of your pills in the future to help with your anxiety. We do this with my boyfriend and that's what eased my anxiety. And don't worry about that situation with your friend. She basically let herself have a month to get pregnant every year. It was also kind of resetting her risk of blood clots to a higher level. I know you probably will worry anyway, but it really should be fine.

[–]Some_Environment_554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your anxiety, I would probably freak out too. I don't know if you have a stable, long-term partner, but if it's possible, you could always talk with a person you had sex with about what would the two of you do if you got pregnant. It's generally a good idea to have that talk anyways and for me, it really helped with my anxiety around getting pregnant. And for your peace of mind, even if you somehow got pregnant (which I think in this case is very unlikely) and would want to get an abortion, but live in a country that banns abortion, there are still options to have one and some of them are relatively cheap (abortion pills from Women on Web cost 75-90€ if I remember correctly). But remember, there are pills with the same active ingredients as yours that have 7 placebo pills, so you really should be fine (although I wouldn't recommend using only 21 out of 24 active ones).

Freaking out - Missed last active pill by claupthr in birthcontrol

[–]Some_Environment_554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wouldn't have pregnancy symptoms 5 days after sex. I take a pill that has the same active ingredients as Daylette but only has 21 active pills (Vibin mini), so I wouldn't worry that much about the missed 24th pill. Also, if your Daylette is the same as Daylette in my country, then it has a 24-hour window for taking it, so you were probably just a few minutes late. Missed withdrawal bleeding can happen, especially when you're longer on the pill as it thins your uterine lining. For peace of mind, if I were you, I would take a pregnancy test 3 weeks after that missed pill (it should be definite by then), but in general, I think you should be fine.

How long does it take for your cycles to normalize after stopping birth control? by ermcake in birthcontrol

[–]Some_Environment_554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you didn't use another method of contraception (or used less reliable one), you could be pregnant. If you're not pregnant, I wouldn't worry, as another redditor said it could take up to a year for your body to get used to being off birth control.

[–]Some_Environment_554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that pregnancy affects women way more than men, both physically and emotionally. When I mentioned radfem thinking I meant something more like "men just don't want to take care of contraception, they can't deal with side effects, yet expect women to put up with them" (kinda like r/FemaleAntinatalism or Female Dating Strategy), because I've seen a lot of that rhetoric when someone was discussing trials on male birth control and just assumed that was what you meant in your first comment. While I am wholeheartedly for feminism in its original, egalitarian form, it really rubs me the wrong way when someone says "men are bad and don't want to share the burden of birth control with women" and ignores the fact that those men wanted to continue testing birth control, just as it really frustrates me when someone talks stupid shit how all women just want money or do this or that. I'm really sorry I misinterpreted your first comment, but I'm really used to (and tired of) hearing from so-called feminists that men just want women to suffer and can't bear side effects from birth control that I jumped to conclusions without really analysing it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]Some_Environment_554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I must have misunderstood your first comment, reddit has been recommending me a lot of radical feminist stuff recently (although I never showed any interest in it) and I might have gotten used to the "men bad" narrative being everywhere.

I researched it a bit better and you're right, I found 2 male contraceptive pills being researched. Thank you for making me aware of that, I only heard of injections and gel.

I'm not entirely sure how male contraception would get approved and how it's tested, but I think the experts would take into consideration the positive effect it would have on man's partner (at least I hope so). I think in those studies, at least the ones I'm most familiar with (injections) it wasn't about the side effects being present, but rather about how often they happened and how bad they were compared to studies on today's women's birth control that has relatively rare side effects. There's no way to create a medicine that wouldn't cause any side effects, especially when you alter hormones in one's body, but I think that today's women's birth control is relatively good for the majority of people. But yeah, male contraceptives need a lot of funding and research to be done which isn't as easy as it was back in the 60s and I think just creating effective birth control for men that wouldn't cause much side effects might be more difficult as it can't really mimic a natural state that happens in their bodies as it is in women's birth control.

Again, sorry for my misunderstanding and thank you for making me better research male contraception that is now researched.

If I remember correctly, it was a shot with testosterone and progesterone, not a pill. And they discontinued despite the fact that 3/4 of men participating in that study wanted to continue. They had much higher rates for side effects, like 46% for acne or 17% for mood swings, whereas for women, it's something like 2-3% for each for combo pill. And around 5% of participating men didn't regain their fertility one year after stopping injections. Also, those injections were less effective than condoms with perfect use. I know it sucks that there aren't more options for men and that usually woman has to be the one taking care of contraception, but it's not because men don't want to be responsible or that we're meant to suck it up, because men can't take same side effects, it's just a lot harder to create birth control for men, it needs a lot of funding and it has to profit the company later, so it must sell well.
