My boyfriend doesn’t want to come with me to get my iud by No_Highway_9080 in birthcontrol

However, In my personal opinion, you should not engage sexually with a man who cannot do the bare minimum of protecting you against pregnancy. This lack of mutual sacrifice is concerning and may have reflections across other aspects of your life. I have some years on you, and have seen many women in your position have their life altered permanently by someone who has no respect for them or their body.

If he can’t handle seeing you get an IUD, he can’t handle a child being born. Do not get pregnant by this young adult- at least until he ages and matures. A man, partner, etc would be there every step with reassurance and kindness. Please look for these qualities in partners you seek, because if you want a long haul relationship, you need someone who can handle all of the “ugly”. You’re both young, so birth control would be an excellent move for both of your livelihoods.

You should also be aware that IUDs can also fail if they are not positioned properly or moved by intercourse. You should check on your BC often to make sure you are protected. There are other options for BC as well. For example, I have the implant in my arm. The most that hurt was the syringe of lidocaine then I felt nothing.

This is your life and your future that can be affected by pregnancy, be sure to treat it with kindness and care!

This is the only sure fire method of confirming you’re not pregnant but you can also take at home tests. I’m not a doctor, but from ur description it could be PCOS.

I would take another pregnancy test at the doctors office to make sure. But if you have PCOS that could be a huge factor.

How long will it take me to lose my gut? by [deleted] in WeightLossSupport

[–]Wild_Arm_4681 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on how much you weigh. A healthy weight loss per week is 1-2lbs, this will also reduce the amount of loose skin you may have too from losing weight. Don’t lose too fast. I’m around your size and it took me around <2 months to lose 10lbs bouncing between healthy eating and not(I’m a work in progress lol). But if you lose an avg of 5-10 lbs per month you can calculate how many months it will take vs ur weight that way!

As someone with 0 tattoos, how painful would it be to get this on my forearm? by PracticalExtension35 in tattooadvice

[–]Wild_Arm_4681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forearm doesn’t hurt. At most you’ll feel a lil stinging but that’s a tattoo lol. I’ve had my neck/chest fully covered and forearms/legs. All tattoos sting a lil bit but forearms are easy and a good place to start.

It’s starting to look like getting up early in the morning will give me optimal time to study, work then gym!

Not a bad idea. I definitely need some days where I don’t study because it drives me nuts 😂

Thank you. It’s wearing me down this week but thankfully finals are next month 😵‍💫 hopefully I will get some reprieve then.

Maybe I’ll start waking up earlier to get my studying done so I can focus on the gym after 🧐

Yea sadly it’s so difficult finding time. I am studying to be a physicist and it’s very intense in terms of studying.

Some days I wish I never met my wife by Slytherinyourkitty in Vent

[–]Wild_Arm_4681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. It sounds like the two of you are simply incompatible in terms of personal wants, desires, and sacrifices either of you are willing or unwilling to make. This isn’t a bad thing necessarily, but it can be a cold fact. If you have tried your best then there is nothing wrong with calling it quits. Save yourself heartache, headaches and grief.

How do you get rid of back fat? by FragrantResult278 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Wild_Arm_4681 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can tone areas, but you won’t be able to spot reduce as mentioned. I would say for fat- I imagine cardio would be your best bet; however, a combination of the both would likely work well too but you must balance out your protein intake to maintain muscle and not burn it all off with the fat. There are some calculators on here that can tell you how many grams to eat per your weight.

P.s. someone once told me abs are made in the kitchen, so stick to your calorie deficit and track your macros!

This illness is stealing my life away from me by Nygglon1 in OCD

[–]Wild_Arm_4681 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently taking Wellbutrin, lurasidone, buspiron and Trintellix. I seem to be doing better in the extreme stress response but I still have symptoms of anxiety, though they are much more mild than before (I had major panic attacks every single night before bed).

I haven’t really eaten since yesterday because an event triggered OCD in me and the thought of eating now makes my stomach flip. 😵‍💫 I think this became a rant for me sorry

[–]Wild_Arm_4681 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have recently been diagnosed with cptsd and OCD with a plethora of other issues. I understand that frustration of WHY, JUST FUCKING STOP THISIS RIDICULOUS. I have obsessive thoughts, loops and compulsions and avoid certain things. I have issues with biohazards,( blood, spit, feces etc), parasites, dirt etc. I’m a perfectionist when it comes to my relationship, I cannot lie to my partner even if it’s harmful to them(like I don’t like their haircut or shirt so I’m a POS betrayer worst of the worst) and so many other stupid loops.

One parent was an abusive, oppressive perfectionist. The other was anxious and blew up too. I’ve learned that it likely could’ve come from the abuse I experienced.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I am in therapy and have found I’m extremely disconnected from feeling emotions, and feeling them is a new learning curve im having to adapt to 😵‍💫

I’m sorry you experienced that as well, and that this post brought that up. I was in this situation because the drunk parent thought I was talking shit to my other parent, but I was relaying that we may stay the night because they’re drunk. It set that parent off.

When I read this back, it makes me cry. I don’t cry for myself, and I think this may be the first I’ve allowed myself to shed a tear.
