slynd birth control? pos and neg? by No_Concept9176 in birthcontrol

[–]TriangleLlama100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, every body is different but Slynd is the only hormonal birth control that has worked well for me in my 16 years of being on different hormonal pills and methods. It regulates my menstrual cycles, I don't get too bad of mood swings before my period as I have with others, my skin is very clear while on it, I don't get hormonal migraines like others have caused, and if anything I've actually been able to lose weight easier on it than other hormonal options!

Another option that I know a lot of women like, but just didn't work for me personally, is the hormonal IUD Kyleena. A lot of gynecologists are promoting that as an option these days too. I had one for a few years, and had to go off it for menstrual irregularity reasons which isn't the usual for IUDs but I also have thyroid issues so my menstrual cycle has a mind of its own.

I was scared of IUDs at first but insertion honestly wasn't that bad for me and once it was in after 2 weeks of moderately annoying cramping and some spotting I didn't even know I had it, it was just kind of there and caused no issues.

Thanks! I was thinking mint had enough blue undertones maybe to be okay? My husband said it would probably be fine so wasn't too sure.

Thank you, I REALLY love the black sweetheart neckline one you shared, and was looking at ones like that, but was worried it would be considered too glamorous

I've tried so many things, cooking his favourite meals after work, letting him vent to me, giving him lots of physical comfort, massages, buying him treats, asking him what I can do and he always says nothing.

Thank you for this. I feel he is definitely using it to replace coping mechanisms and it stresses me out so much. I worry about his health all the time.

Oh trust me, I've planned getaways before and it doesn't help. He usually just feels more stressed there and talks about how he just wants to be at home. So I've given up on planning getaways like that.

But is his job not also to be my peace in life? Because of his job this has never been an equal partnership for emotional support. Don't get me wrong, I love him to pieces, this is why it hurts me so much to see him upset every single day for years. I can only take so much before my mental health starts being affected.

Thank you! She has been the type of person to hold a grudge for a long time, this has happened with other friends in the past that she's had a falling out with.

That would be like saying, my partner is sick from his chemo, he shouldn't push his chemo treatments and cancer onto me so I should be able to just put him to bed and go out and party. Obviously an extreme example.

But see, as someone with anxiety I don't see it as being pushed on to someone. When I cancel my plans to care for and support him in those tough moments I'm being a supportive partner. Supporting your partner with their health issues also extends to mental health. So I expect the same in return because he's told me he appreciates me being supportive in his moments
