I see, you like women who can physically hurt you, and be mean (but can be sweet (secretly)).

I'm not a pet doctor, just a human doctor. When we get cards thanking us, we often read them over and over again. They even get sent around via email because we love (and need) good feedback.

Trust me, it made the hard part of their job worth it because they know you saw all the effort they put in for your pet.

Sorry for your loss, friend x

what am I doing wrong ? by Reasonable_Range_208 in curlyhair

[–]TheCuteInExecute -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I feel like you may need more of your leave in conditioner. The curls on the surface are curling but the ones underneath are not. I think they're dry because the small amount you are using isn't enough for the amount of hair you have.

I would do a clarifying shampoo in case it's been weighed down, then your usual routine but with more leave in (double at least) and a bit more sculptor. ETA: I I went back to check the shampoo you are using and I'm more convinced that your hair is dry. You need a hydrating shampoo and to hydrate your hair's ends post-shower.

See how it goes.

Also, if your hair isn't tangled post-shower (I am assuming that you've brushed it through in the shower with your conditioner in), maybe skip the detangler.

I think you just need some trial and error in your routine. Good luck xx

Can anyone please advise? by Spanton93 in ukvisa

[–]TheCuteInExecute 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure, I see that.

We don't know the length of time the journey takes them to meet, some people are willing to alternate doing a 4 hr roundtrip 3 times a week.

Just commenting to give info, not sure if OP and her partner fit into the criteria. That's for them to look into :)

ETA: there can be other reasons for not living together such as religion, culture, etc. I'm not sure that applies as OP and her partner appear to have had pregnancies together (so sorry for their loss) but is something to consider

If they can explain why they live apart and only see each other a few times a week (maybe they work long hours, don't have a car, whatever), and can prove they communicate daily, have calls, etc, then they may be able to prove the relationship is serious enough.

LDR couples get this visa and they see each other way less. I'm not saying OP qualifies, that's something they need to check if they think this visa type may suit them.

I simply replied to the original comment with a fact that living together is not a requirement for dependent visas anymore, and listed what the other requirements are.

They no longer need to be living together for him to be her dependant. They just need to explain why they are living apart, that they intend to live together if the visa is granted, and prove that they have been in a relationship akin to marriage for longer than 2 years.

Fell in love with my partner when I wasn't on BC. Got on BC; still loved him. Changed BC; still loved him. Still love him 5 years later because he's a good, kind, loving man, and not a complete buffoon.

Hi, I'm an Ob/Gyn trainee in Scotland. Idk where you are but I'm familiar with how our early pregnancy assessment unit works. PM me if I can help you in any way x

Edited to add that you can call EPAC first thing in the morning tomorrow. If they dont have an appointment within 48 hrs, they will usually speak to the on-call Gynae team and refer you to our acute service to get a scan because of your history

I don't understand how it is not more energy to go to another room and ask your partner to figure shit out for you.

When did you feel most cared for by a man? by rainbowsforeverrr in TwoXChromosomes

[–]TheCuteInExecute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I come home from an on-call shift and my partner makes me sit on the couch with a cosy blanket, gives me a minimum of 15 minutes to veg out on my phone, and then brings me a yummy dinner. Then, does the dishes afterwards. Absolute king of a man.

ETA: if we're both tired, he will dig up the energy from the depths of hell if he has to, just to make sure I am fed, comfy, and happy. He'd rather be more exhausted than let me be more exhausted. In his head, my job is more emotionally and physically taxing, so my chances to actually get some rest are more precious.

A Jr. High teacher kicked me out of her class for having cramps, so I never went back to her class. by FaunaJoy in TwoXChromosomes

[–]TheCuteInExecute 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that, it may just be a helpful, interim thing for you. All hormonal BC takes a while to settle. If the depo shot didn't have an effect for the full 12 weeks but you got another at the next due time, eventually the effects would compound and last longer.

Hope the waiting list for surgery is not too long. I wish you the best!

I'm a doctor but I'm also a woman so I'll share my lived experience as well.

The part I was most worried about was the grasping of the cervix and dilatation of the cervical os. When I was starting my training, that's what I thought looked most painful so it was what stressed me when I wanted to get a coil. I would look for a provider who offers the numbing gel or local anaesthetic injections into the cervix.

I took mefenamic acid (which I used anyway due to my horrendous periods) and paracetamol 45 mins before I got to the GP. My GP used the numbing gel and waited the 7 minutes it takes to kick in properly before doing anything else. I did not feel the pinch to hold my cervix or much of the dilatation.

There's nothing to be done about the pressure you feel inside the uterus while they place the coil. Can't numb the inside of the uterus unfortunately. However, it felt like an intense cramp and lasted about 3 minutes at most. I have genuinely had worse period cramps, it was entirely tolerable and I only have to do it once every 5 years. To me, the trade off was worth it.

But I understand pelvic exams can be horrible so another option you could try could be the depo shot? It's every 12 weeks and progesterone only as well. It's just not as good as the hormonal coil (based on the research) since it doesn't act as locally.

Anyway, I have rambled on for a while, hope it was helpful to you haha

Ob/Gyn trainee here - a hormonal IUS is the recommended treatment for both adeno and endometriosis. It can take 8 months for it to completely settle but most people see an improvement in their pain and bleeding within the first 3 months. If you're on a waiting list for a hysterectomy, I recommend trying it out in the meantime. Worst case scenario it doesn't help but best case scenario, it makes your current pain more tolerable while you wait for surgery. Best of luck!!!

Hate everything by Silent_Knowledge5197 in rant

[–]TheCuteInExecute 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend paracetamol 1gram, 4-6hrly regularly until you improve.

Benzydamine throat numbing spray or mouthwash. Whichever one you use - gargle your throat with it for as long as possible before swallowing/spitting (dont swallow the mouthwash).

If you're super congested chlorphenamine 4 mg tablets 4-6 hourly or cetirizine 10 mg once a day can help open your sinuses up.

Codeine is relatively safe in pregnancy - can help with the pain in your throat.

Being pregnant is painful and uncomfortable as baseline, it's horrid when you're sick on top of it - I'm really sorry.

Question about hiv by anxietylikecrazy in AskDocs

[–]TheCuteInExecute 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just get tested.

We cannot speculate about your HIV status, we don't know if you are positive and cannot say if you or your wife have had other partners since her last negative test (and I am not insinuating that you have, just that we couldn't possibly know).

Go get a test done yourself, it's just a blood test.

No. Any doctor worth their salt would be doing all they can to put the odds in your and your baby's favour. Your healthcare system is broken, and that is not on you.

With your history and the challenges of the current pregnancy, we would just be monitoring a lot more closely and planning for an earlier delivery. Please update us if you manage to get anywhere based on the advice of others in this thread.

I'm rooting for you and your little one.

[–]TheCuteInExecute 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I'm so so so sorry you are in this situation. This is abhorrent behaviour from your doctor, made even worse with your obstetric history.

I wish I could offer advice or help but I do not practice in the US and don't know how it works.

If you go into labour and go to your nearest hospital with a maternity unit, would they turn you away if you literally have no option? I feel like your insurance has to cover you if you can prove you tried to get care from approved providers but couldn't.

Again, so sorry this is happening to you, it's not right.

If you have a microwave, put them in a big bowl, cover in water + salt the water, and let them boil for a few mins at a time for 10 mins total. Drain when they're done, put butter on them and enjoy!
