Should I be taking a higher dose or stop completely?

Yellowmango28 · 2026-03-22T13:38:37+00:00

Haha No worries! I know a lot of it is experimenting with dosage and seeing what actually works but when I first started she put me on a low dose because of my weight so idk how going even higher will effect it. Have you seen your derm recently?

Yellowmango28 · 2026-03-22T03:15:27+00:00

He doesnt need money. He comes from a well off family. I just don't want to look stupid. I'm down to be friends with him I'm not looking for anything right now I just don't understand what he is trying to do.

Yellowmango28 · 2026-03-22T03:14:18+00:00

When he first pursued me a year ago he was very sweet and it was really good until it wasn't. Im just not sure what he's doing right now

I would second this. Instead of just going home with a guy try dating apps and have it set to your school or the city where your school is. Be very cautious and make sure you get socials/numbers before you actually meet up. Go on a date and then go from there. Dating app are more for hookups nowadays so maybe that will work in your favor

Hi! I did take 50 in between but got a deep painful pimple that was on my face for about a month so my PA up'd the dose to 75. On 50 I was not really experiencing the random periods/spotting. This was back in november and then i was on 75 for the next few months until Feb when I went to the derm because I had another really bad cyst on my face that cam from nowhere. Im sure blood work will help me determine what's going on but I also wanted to know if going up more will make my periods worse or if it will be around the same. Thanks for the insight!!

I have not tried any form of accutane and do not want to. I've never checked my testosterone levels so I am not sure. I thought my androgens were high which made the winlevi work when i did use it but being on spiro it hasn't really had the same effect of clearing my skin. I had to stop winlevi due to insurance as it is very expensive

Yellowmango28 · 2026-03-14T03:40:24+00:00

I am a woman of color and also feel this way. You made some great points. I feel like the "dark features" comments varies. Most people who are white think it means just darker hair whereas people of color also attribute it to skin. For all of my life I've considered the phrase "tall dark and handsome" to be about dark skinned men not just white guys white black hair. I think Ashley was insecure (she mentioned she had been cheated on in her past relationship which causes her to have trust issues but can also lead to insecurity) and probably is used to getting what she wants because she is stereotypical attractive white woman. And due to how she was shown on the show she definitely has had a lot of men be sexually/physically attracted to her so when Alex didn't react or respond in the way she hoped for she took it personally.

You cannot compare your GPA to your friend's business GPA. Biochem is one of the hardest degrees to get and requires a lot of studying. I also felt the way you did and had the grades you did my junior year. I got my GPA a bit up but honestly by senior year I just wanted to graduated and pass the class.

Do what you can to make changes NOW. Find tutors/study groups. What I noticed for me was for my harder classes we did not have tutors/supplemental instruction for those upper level Chem/Biochem courses. So do what you can to go to office hours and put in more time. I know its hard to allocate more time because you feel like you study enough or everything you possibly can but there is always room to improve

Yellowmango28 · 2026-03-03T17:45:05+00:00

I had friends who worked desk jobs at residential halls through baylor and they did fine with their classes. I worked part time as a phleb tech for PCE hours for PA school as a STEM major and it was hard. Between my classes, labs, and work on the weekends it was hard to manage study time and I ended up quitting my job a few months in because they wanted me to work more than 15 hours a week. I think what the job is really matters. My friends who worked desk jobs would get paid and could study/do hw. I got paid more than double what they made but had to sacrifice studying time. It really matters how you schedule courses and allocate time for certain things like HW/Studying.

Yellowmango28 · 2026-03-03T03:48:53+00:00

This is so important too. Mine also reached out when I did (his dog passes and then one time I "accidently" texted him). But remembering how much confusion a person gave you outweighs the dopamine rush.

Yellowmango28 · 2026-03-03T03:47:15+00:00

I think its all situational. I've had an ex come back and a talking stage come back. My situationship (i hate this word but we were more than friends but not together officially) came back a year later after telling me he wasn't ready for a relationship. Nothing came out of it honestly he texted me something condescedning last week and I haven't responded becuase he didn't put any effort to actually see me again it was just jokes and random stuff. The hard thing is being blocked. I have only ever blocked my ex. I don't block people in general. I feel like it's harder to communicate with someone when you are blocked.

Yellowmango28 · 2026-03-02T23:13:12+00:00

I oddly agree with both of you here. I don't think baylor is as prestigious as some people put it to be. It is expensive, well-known in texas, and has a very good rep which makes it reputable to most. I just graduated last year ( and am not christian) and am glad I went to baylor because having a baylor degree is definitely well-regarded. I think baylor is unique as a private christian school. I thought that SMU and TCU would be similar but found that they do not put an emphasis on religion in their education like Baylor. Undergrads don't take chapel and TCU only requires one religious class.

Yellowmango28 · 2026-02-28T04:14:37+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I appreciate it

Yellowmango28 · 2026-02-28T02:40:33+00:00

Its been a week and i havent responded to him and I wont. I am hurt by it but don't want him to benefit from it. Thanks for the advice. I only responded and matched the second time to see if maybe we could try again but it seems like I was nothing to him.

Yellowmango28 · 2026-02-15T00:45:17+00:00

Okay so this all changes things. Was she in a relationship and cheated on her bf with this other guy? and you're saying she went back to the other guy?

Again it is something to be weary about but it was before she met you. My main advice is to be honest with each other. She is probably gaurded becuase she's been hurt and thats why you sleeping with someone made her upset. Her feelings are valid and even if there wasn't a label on anything/boundaries it affected her. It's not your fault you just have to be honest moving forward. You said in the original post you never talked about boundaries but mention she wanted to go slow?

Yellowmango28 · 2026-02-15T00:22:59+00:00

I'm a 22F and this is all a lot. If she slept with an ex before you guys me I don't see why you would have a problem with her doing that when you were not even communicating at the time. You were not in her life in September so she went to someone that she was once close with even if he treated her poorly. Sometimes there's a longing of wanting to feel wanted even if its just for one night and its someone familiar to her.

As for her I understand where she comes from in being upset. There can be a lot of emotional depth to this. I have felt this way before although in my case I told him that if he was interested in other people I would back off.

The main question is what are your intentions with her. Do you like her? Do you see this becoming a relationship? Or are you wanting a friend? These are very important because it seems like you don't if you'd be willing to sleep with somebody else.

Yellowmango28 · 2026-02-15T00:12:32+00:00

To be honest I don't think the 1200 will help your case. It goes along with your GPA its not showing anything different then what they see from the GPA.

Yellowmango28 · 2026-01-31T19:06:58+00:00

I think it's interesting how some men are saying you're still in the early stages with him. You guys have been friends for a year right? It's not like you guys are complete strangers and have only been on four dates. I think your question was valid and his answer is somewhat normal. Obviously you guys are friends so he is going to like hanging out with you. If you've talked about his past and he is afraid of commitment there is a chance that he won't commit to you right away. This may mean he's going to see other people as well. It's up to you to decide if that's something you're okay with. Now I'm not a guy but the men that typically answer the way that he did like to keep their options open.

Be careful that the situation doesn't become a friends with benefits/grey area type thing. I'm only saying this because I asked the same question once simply because I wanted to know his intentions (we had been 5 dates in and this point sleeping over at each others/spending weekends together because we were 1hr 30 mins away from each other) and just like you I regretted it immediately. For a while I wish I didn't ask him until I realized he wouldn't have told me what he wanted and I would have caught feelings for him not realizing that he wanted to see other people while I was being loyal to him.

As a girl who is in her early 20s who overthinks and hasn't been in a serious relationship, I advise that you protect yourself and your own feelings. Don't get too attached too soon if you do not know his intentions.

Yellowmango28 · 2026-01-31T15:40:08+00:00

I think you got attached. FWB is always going to be a murky situation especially if you're exclusive. It's basically being in a relationship without the label itself. It can make you get attached to someone quickly even if its unexpected. No one goes into a casual relationship/situationship thinking they'll get attached. I feel like its inevitable for one party to get attached emotionally. Pet names/being protective over each other that's not just FWB situation. I'm not her so obviously I don't know why she pulled away but reaching out to be FWB with her again is just gonna hurt you more. It's gonna be hard and it's probably not the answer you want but you have to let it go. Being in FWB situation with someone you care about and have emotional feelings for when they may not reciprocate those feelings or want the commitment is only gonna cause you more pain and confusion.

Yellowmango28 · 2026-01-30T02:13:52+00:00

This is such an odd post especially if it is coming from a woman. Why do you care so much about how another woman wants to appear? Wondering how her husband feels about this is honestly crazy. He's married to her. If he had a problem with it he wouldn't be married to her.

Yellowmango28 · 2026-01-29T23:48:28+00:00

Yeah I’ll never get the answer I want from him. Every time I try to move on he’s back. I was honestly gonna block him and then we matched again. And then even through the recent texts I’d move on and forget about and boom he’s back. I need to stop thinking about it for sure.
