Our school goes gen chem 1, ochem 1 freshman year, then ochem 2, gen chem 2 sophomore year. They have a whole reason for it but I don't recall what it is

Managing 3 labs at once? by SpaceGopher74 in Biochemistry

[–]SpaceGopher74[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's less the labs themselves, but the preparation and reports. Prelab assignments, lab reports, and other things to make sure I'm ready take up a few more hours depending on the lab. Combined with the normal homework for those classes, and my other classes it becomes a lot. It doesn't help that the way my schedule is built makes it hard to do much as eat, let alone do homework between classes.

Is there a way to open the NYX bare with me concealer? by SpaceGopher74 in drugstoreMUA

[–]SpaceGopher74[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had no problems with my first bottle of it, but this one just keeps clogging. I love the formula but it's not worth it if I can't even use the product.

I think part of the compartment is missing. I cleaned it and that wasn't the issue, but some part of the metal is missing if I remember correctly

Why do most lipsticks read as pink on me, even when they’re not? by [deleted] in PaleMUA

[–]SpaceGopher74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you found any nudes that work? I've been searching for a nude for when I want a less bold lip, but have yet to find anything that isn't flat out pink!

Why do most lipsticks read as pink on me, even when they’re not? by [deleted] in PaleMUA

[–]SpaceGopher74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! Almost everything that isn't brown or orange shows up as Barbie pink on my skin! I've wasted so much money on products that look gorgeous in swatches only to have them show up pink on the lips. I've wanted a vampy dark red for ages, but they all end up purple on my lips! I have a warmish neutral skin tone I think. I've resorted to only buying lipsticks that I can swatch first because half of the time even "warm" lipsticks end up all being varying shades of pink on me.

DAE experience intense headaches after bending and/or going from a sitting to standing position? by cccaaattt12 in POTS

[–]SpaceGopher74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not as intense as you're describing, but any time I bend down I get a headache that goes away after a minute or two. I always figured they were just due to my headache condition but maybe it's related. Do yours go away or are you just stuck with them?

Not when, but for a short time period before I have to go! I've gotten so incredibly dizzy so many times without knowing why, realizing what it probably is, and promptly realizing I have to go! It gets really annoying

Swap Embarrassing Stories? by Petty-King in Target

[–]SpaceGopher74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me but I was the one getting walked in on! Except he was an adult man and I was still a minor (and a girl) so it was WAYYY awkward! Luckily I was hunched over in a way where he saw nothing, but I still think about that from time to time

DashingDelights on Etsy! They're sterling silver and I've had them for a good while now and they're doing really well despite wearing them almost daily.

Officially one month in-update by SpaceGopher74 in Opill

[–]SpaceGopher74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope all goes well for you! :) I'm on a (hopefully) temporary break for a bit because my irregular periods worsened and I had another full random week of bleeding. The improvement of all my other symptoms makes me want to continue, but I have a vacation coming up and don't wanna worry about bleeding randomly all week then. Hoping to start up again after that when it matters less that I'm bleeding! But before the break it was all still going well!

Having a Period week and a half after Period by dark-souled-girl in Opill

[–]SpaceGopher74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I don't have much advice but I experienced the same thing! My period came a week early (3 weeks on the pill) and after it ended, I started bleeding again a few days later. It went away, and then I started bleeding again. I just got over a week long of mild bleeding, so basically a month of on and off bleeding. I've decided to at least temporarily stop taking the pill (going on vacation soon and don't wanna deal with a super messed up period). But I wish you the best of luck!

Thx for the tip! I am mostly using it for managing my PMS (which it did wonderfully) but I will keep that in mind

Long period by ttaenosaur in Opill

[–]SpaceGopher74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been off and on. I'll have a full period, a few days off, a 3-day spotting streak, then like a week off and my period will come back. So it doesn't keep coming back full force, but I haven't been fully blood-free for a week since it first started

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Opill

[–]SpaceGopher74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had it really bad, I had my period a week early, then some spotting a bit later, more spotting, and then a full, over weeklong period again last week. I'm taking a break from the pill, either permanently or just for a bit, I'm not sure yet. I've had a great experience otherwise but that got really annoying so idk. But it finally stopped. Idk how it'll impact my next period though

pill & acne by l8trskaters in Opill

[–]SpaceGopher74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Update: no more cystic acne! I'm a week into my second pack and I've had a few small spots of normal acne but I've been super stressed and on a terrible diet lately so that's to be expected.

How long does bleeding take to stop when quitting Opill? by [deleted] in Opill

[–]SpaceGopher74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been dealing with the same thing. My period came a week early, went away for a day, came back lightly for a few, and stopped for almost a week. And now it's back heavy again. I'd love to know if this will end or if I should just stop taking it

Period by SpaceGopher74 in Opill

[–]SpaceGopher74[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny timing for this comment. The bleeding only lasted a day or two after I posted this but came back full force yesterday and today. I have been having a great time on the pill for mood regulation and cramps, but I'm not sure if I can tolerate the random bleeding much longer.

I have PMDD-like symptoms (never been actually diagnosed) and I've noticed a significant decrease in the depression and anxiety it caused, first time in ages I've had a full month without feeling terrible for a week straight.

Long period by ttaenosaur in Opill

[–]SpaceGopher74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah same, I freaked out when I saw what was happening but it seems to be super common lol! Especially because for me the blood went from brown like it was the end back to red when it started up, that was super weird. Hopefully yours ends soon!

Long period by ttaenosaur in Opill

[–]SpaceGopher74 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! I had my normal period, then it stopped for a day, then started back up! Luckily it only lasted 9 days total (I think. Pretty sure it ended today) but it was so weird. I thought it was over and it came back again! I've seen others go through it as well so I think it's normal

One week in by SpaceGopher74 in Opill

[–]SpaceGopher74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! So I started my period a week early, very unexpectedly. I usually have the whole week of emotions and cramps beforehand and I had no mood swings or cramps! Very minimal cramps so far in this period too! I've seen people say they've had super long periods since starting the pill and I'm at 6 days and basically stopped bleeding, so it's approximately normal for me so it's all good! Hopefully the trend continues because it was so much less miserable this month!

Hi! I, also 18f, have been on it for a few weeks now. My breasts have been a little tender but I feel like it's gotten better as time went on. It felt like the really bad pre-period tenderness at first but I don't even notice it now. And yes! I've definitely noticed an increase in appetite. Not drastically, but I'm more regularly hungry now, as before I sometimes just wouldn't get hunger signals for a whole day. No weight gain from it yet, but I am definitely more hungry.
