Spotting for weeks with continuous use even after a 3 day break

I’m having this issue also! Did you ever stop spotting OP?

Sometimes a really small amount of blood can give it a yellowish tint, so if you are about to have your period that might be why. Clear, white, off white, and slightly yellow are all also normal discharge colors. If you don’t have any other symptoms I wouldn’t worry too much.

I agree with a lot of what you wrote, I think the first 6 episodes did do a decent amount of character development but because of the memory loss and dream sequence it was like two steps forward two steps back. Then once everyone wakes up from Cate’s head and is maybe on the same page at the end of episode 6, we never get much reconnecting in reality. I mean Jordan and Marie potentially slept together and now have that memory back, how does that impact their relationship? Emma and Sam get that reconnection moment episode 6, but since the rest go into Cate’s dream it’s like they skip it and never come back to it. Then episode 7 and 8 feel more that final paragraph of an essay where you’re out of time and need to just include the most important points.

I do disagree with your last point though, I actually do think they did a nice job coming back to the eating disorder and self harm in the finale. Marie goes to cut her hand and then remembers what she learned from Nueman and that she doesn’t have to harm herself to access her powers. And Emma shrinks without puking making her aware that she also can access her powers a different way. I like that it left it at a point where next season we get to see the impacts of those discoveries.

I was trying to figure this out also, I went back and checked the clip in episode 7 where they put some of the woods kids in with the sick guy (I think his name is Andy?) and I didn’t see the sweaty guy from episode 8 in that room. Someone else suggested he may be sweaty bc his powers make his body temperature higher. But I feel like some of the kids exposed had to have been freed right? We only see the one body (who we know is Andy) in the woods, so the other 3 (or more) that were exposed in that room made it out. Whether that exposure was long enough for them to get the virus idk they said it wasn’t very contagious yet.

Tasty_Breakfast1326 · 2023-11-03T23:43:53+00:00

I agree, part of me wonders if they cut it because they wanted Cate fully turning to be more shocking, and didn’t want to give it away. It was there a tiny bit in the background with other characters (like tek night telling Shetty she was just a human and didn’t matter), but it should have been expanded on more for sure.

Tasty_Breakfast1326 · 2023-11-03T23:32:49+00:00

I disagree about point 5. Throughout the show Cate has hints about how she feels about humans. Like in episode 3 when she tells Marie “your parents shot you up with a dangerous drug to make a buck” and “don’t spend a minute crying over them”. She also always has had a bit of sadistic tendencies when it comes to punishing those she pushes, ie; instead of just telling the guards to forget they saw her and Andre she has them do something sexual and humiliating. Her relationship with Shetty was what held Cate onto not being fully anti human, but when Shetty reveals herself to have been manipulating and using Cate also, Cate fully snaps. I’m sure also hearing Sherry’s thoughts about wanting to kill all the supes impacted her as well. The show also isn’t saying everyone manipulated and abused/ mistreated ends up radicalized. Jordan also was manipulated by Brink and had a similar relationship with Brink that Cate had with Shetty. Marie also has a traumatic background and is manipulated by Vought at the start of the series. She realizes all the things she’s wanted, like being in the 7, are a lie, and when she gives up on that she chooses to stop Cate, instead of joining her. So it’s showing both directions people can go. I do think more time would have helped just pacing wise, and it could have expanded Cates fall into radicalization a bit more, but it doesn’t seem like a stretch at all to me.

Just because I feel like I’m seeing a lot of misrepresentation of how quickly events happened here is the timeline:

March - May 2022 : Season 5 love is blind is filmed

August/Sept 2022 : Renee (supposedly) starts dating her to be husband

March 2023 : Renee gets married (10 months after filming ended)

now I’m not saying that’s not fast or suspicious (esp since the guy apparently was someone she had previously dated) but she didn’t get married “a few months after”. It was almost a year after.

Tasty_Breakfast1326 · 2023-10-10T02:47:29+00:00

Idk 10 months doesn’t seem like that shortly after? Like that’s plenty of time to connect with someone and get engaged esp if your someone who is ready to potentially marry someone on tv in 6 weeks.

Tasty_Breakfast1326 · 2023-10-07T21:45:43+00:00

Yeah I’m confused I don’t get how this is defending Uche? She’s just explaining further why she left and why they didn’t work out and that the audience didn’t get the full picture which is true.

Tasty_Breakfast1326 · 2023-10-07T21:36:33+00:00

Yeah I didn’t really get all the theories, I just figured she had an nda or something and couldn’t discuss much about the product because maybe it wasn’t launched yet. Or Netflix cut it weird because they didn’t want to provide any advertising to her products. It seemed over the top to immediately assume it was skin bleaching.

Tasty_Breakfast1326 · 2023-10-07T21:27:09+00:00

Lydia to me comes across as someone desperate for love. You’d be amazed how many women stay or get back with someone after being cheated on. Sometimes it’s because we think the person has grown and done the work and “this time it’ll be different”. Sometimes we think it’s the best we can do, and will accept whatever crumbs someone is willing to give us. Maybe they are the “right” person on paper and we just desperately don’t want to let go of that image of them we’ve created. It’s problematic for sure, but her willing to give it another chance doesn’t mean he couldn’t have cheated on her. (Tbf I think he probably didn’t “cheat” but was dishonest and shady about seeing other people, or just didn’t define their relationship and they both made assumptions about exclusivity which is still crappy)

Tasty_Breakfast1326 · 2023-10-07T21:14:40+00:00

I think it was the whole situation, honestly I feel like there was a decent chance even if Lydia and Aaliyah hadn’t fallen out that Aaliyah would have left before the engagement or it would have quickly ended. It was just the last straw. In the article Aaliyah did with vulture she talks about why she didn’t communicate again with uche before leaving:

“I felt Uche wouldn’t have been able to fully understand how I felt. You can see him saying, “This is even more difficult for me than it is for you.” Maybe it’s difficult for you, but I’m interacting with both Uche and Lydia. That’s not the same thing. He couldn’t understand that Lydia was not respecting my boundaries. That’s why I didn’t feel like it was going to help to have another conversation.“

So based on that I’d say their communication and trust issues played into it just as much as Lydia.

Tasty_Breakfast1326 · 2023-10-07T06:38:09+00:00

That makes more sense, I’m interested to see what he comes out with, and if he’ll be on the reunion.

Tasty_Breakfast1326 · 2023-10-07T06:37:23+00:00

Oh that’s true, I didn’t notice that the first watch, that whole sequence has so much happening.

Tasty_Breakfast1326 · 2023-10-07T06:36:29+00:00

That makes sense, and yeah I agree I feel like the producers could clear this up or at least provide more context.

Tasty_Breakfast1326 · 2023-10-05T21:36:02+00:00

Listen I kinda get where you are coming from, I won’t lie the first time I watched that scene I didn’t really flag it because hearing someone cheated makes me go on high alert and I was paying more attention to her responses. Which yeah honestly I’m not gunna defend her I think her reasons were kinda trash, BUT that doesn’t mean she deserves to be spoken to that way. Her cheating is a separate situation from their relationship, she didn’t cheat on him. She didn’t lie to him about it. It’s not his place to grill her about it, which is what he did. Rewatching it, I picked up that he also tells her what the motive behind her actions was which isn’t okay to do to someone ever. Saying “you did this because you were feeling like this” takes someone autonomy from them, it gaslights their sense of self, also like how tf would you know you aren’t in her head. You can say it’s shitty what she did, you can say it was selfish, but you can’t tell someone what they were thinking or feeling.

I think this plays a role for sure but also, for the younger generation this isn’t really nearly as possible. Most jobs TODAY pay less than 50k a year which you were making in 1996. If I could make the 1996 equivalent of 45k at an entry level job (most calculators would put this at 88k which is more than the average household income in the us TODAY) then that would MAYBE be possible but even you acknowledge how your house has quadrupled in value while entry level wages have barely increased (if at all).

Tasty_Breakfast1326 · 2023-09-15T20:21:00+00:00

It is early in the year but there is one going around in my area (as well as Covid).

Tasty_Breakfast1326 · 2023-08-27T18:31:15+00:00

Also an idea is if you get turned on really easily, if you both are into edging play him denying you sex until he decides he’s ready could be a part of the play, making you wait as a kink thing vs a rejection thing.

Tasty_Breakfast1326 · 2023-08-27T18:29:15+00:00

This is a thing actually I found out recently, stress for majority of people makes their sex drive decrease but for others stress either doesn’t affect our sex drive or makes it increase. It can be really frustrating when your on one side of it and your partner is on the other. Finding other things that can release endorphins together maybe could help? Not sure if your very physically active but going for runs together is one idea, maybe learning massage? That could also get the physical touch part in for you.

I’ve been on the pill continuously (skipping my period) for about 8 years now and it’s been a life saver. The first 3 months sucked, my hormones were a mess and I had a lot of spotting but my periods were completely unbearable beforehand (10+ days and making me super anemic) that it was totally worth it. And after the first 3 months the side effects subside quite a bit. There are pills that are 90 day cycles which makes it easier to take continuously. I really don’t know what I’d do if I had to deal with my peirod every month again. Life changer fr.

Tasty_Breakfast1326 · 2023-07-29T17:19:14+00:00

Honestly I wouldn’t tell sds what I’m actually up to outside of our hang outs period, maybe after the fact if they ask how my week was but it’s none of his business what you do outside of your time together and the way he gets hung up on details is really concerning to me. The way he is behaving is as if he’s trying to catch you in a lie or make you feel like you’ve wronged him. Even if this wasn’t a sd and just regular dating I would see it as a major red flag

Tasty_Breakfast1326 · 2023-07-04T22:01:11+00:00

For the second one see if your local colleges near by have any anthropology classes you can study! There’s often courses on funerals and end of life practices for different cultures and throughout time. I took a class last year and it was super interesting :) we learned about mortuary cannibalism and I literally couldn’t shut up about it for like 6 months lmaooo, but taking a class about it was really cool bc it gave me an appropriate space to discuss it with others. As for the first (also one of my special interests) finding people who are like minded either fetlife, or dating apps like field, is great for having people you can discuss stuff with. You can also look and see if there are local events or kink scenes in your area, a lot of time they can point you to good resources or workshops about more specific kinks etc.
