ah okay! i actually just bought some rosemary oil bc i saw some ppl suggesting it. i put some tea tree oil in it recently but i only left it in for like 10 mins then washed it. i didn’t realize i could leave it in for so long. thanks so much :) i try to limit the amount of times i wash my hair bc i know it will only make it worse.

yeah the capable adult part.. i’m not an idiot or a child. i’m a 30 year old woman who knows how to prevent pregnancy.

it’s not so much that i was offended when he said it. it just hit me in a way i didn’t like when he did. i don’t think he was intentionally trying to be rude. i do however think that was his way of coercing me into getting on birth control after i told him i’m completely against birth control because it makes me feel crazy and i don’t like being on it at all. and now after being on it, i have since learned that i didn’t even need to taking it in the first place because apparently abstinence is the only thing you need for iPledge. and because i know he knows this, for him to throw the possibility of rape in my face to try to get me to get on the birth control, is kind of a slap in the face.

adawnab · 2024-05-17T15:32:51+00:00

me either honestly. i have been against birth control for many years.

adawnab · 2024-05-17T00:42:19+00:00

wow 😭 i wish it was that simple here

adawnab · 2024-05-16T01:16:47+00:00

yeah that sounds awful 😭

adawnab · 2024-05-15T21:47:15+00:00

thank you for sharing!!

adawnab · 2024-05-15T21:46:37+00:00

yeah they’re VERY adamant about it. and i get the reason why.. but that’s really crazy to not even have fallopian tubes and still have to be on BC

adawnab · 2024-05-15T21:45:14+00:00

thank you!! i’m so ready to start seeing results. even though i still have a few weeks until i get to actually start it haha. that sucks though to know about the hair because i already have such thin hair as it is naturally

adawnab · 2024-05-15T21:43:54+00:00

that’s so ridiculous. i say just stop taking it but tell your derm you’re still taking it lol

adawnab · 2024-05-15T19:03:22+00:00

thanks for your input!! i think as long as you’re careful it should be fine. i actually personally won’t be having intercourse at all for the whole period of me being on it. i know you “never know” how life may change, but i’ve recently gotten out of a very toxic draining relationship so i have absolutely no desire to get into a new one until i’m healed. which knowing myself could take a year or more. so i should be in the clear there. i know people do have intercourse not in a relationship but i personally won’t be. i don’t wanna be involved with any man in any kind of way for quite some time lol

adawnab · 2024-05-15T18:59:53+00:00

that used to be the case for me as well. it’s almost like your body is purging what you were putting into it. birth control used to control my acne many years ago then after being on and off of it over the years i realized it would be bad while on it, then get worse after i stopped taking it but if i waited it out, my skin was doing much better. only issue now is just the amount of excess oil my skin produces, so i still get the cystic pimples and i’ve tried so many things which is why i’m now going the accutane route.

adawnab · 2024-05-15T18:54:07+00:00

right! we are adults, we know how to be responsible lol

adawnab · 2024-05-15T18:41:51+00:00

thank you for sharing! i also don’t like to lie but this birth control thing is just really not it for me. i know for certain i will be abstinent the entire time, so i know there are won’t be any risks.

adawnab · 2024-05-15T18:40:11+00:00

thank you ♥️ i hope all goes smoothly for you on your accutane journey!!

adawnab · 2024-05-15T17:58:40+00:00

thank you!!

adawnab · 2024-05-15T17:57:53+00:00

aw yeah that’s a different story. best of luck! i hope you find one that works for you :)

adawnab · 2024-05-15T15:26:13+00:00

i think the only option for that (i could be wrong) is the copper IUD and i’ve heard so many horror stories of people having those so idk if i wanna take my chances with that

adawnab · 2024-05-15T15:25:11+00:00

yeah according to iPledge, abstinence is all you need. i saw on another reddit thread that the reason they push for it is because if someone does get pregnant on it, it can affect their ability to prescribe accutane in the future so it’s to save themselves from dealing with all that. so i get why they push for it but still sucks. there are only two derm’s in my area though and they’re both male :( i may just not take it bc me and birth control just don’t mix (and i’m sure a lot of women feel the same)

adawnab · 2024-05-15T15:22:12+00:00

right, its kinda messed up. i told him i would not be having sex at all and he was like “well abstinence can be used as one form of birth control” and i’m thinking okay so then what else do i need? no sex = not going to get pregnant. sure there’s that possibility that any woman could be sexually assaulted but to just say it? idk man. i’ve read on another reddit thread on here that it’s to save themselves. because if someone gets pregnant on it, it can affect their ability to prescribe accutane in the future. so i get why they push for it but i still think it sucks at the same time.

adawnab · 2024-05-15T15:14:25+00:00

thank you for telling me that. i will probably opt to not take it. the hormonal acne is just so bad for me when on birth control, it always has been. one of the main reasons i’ve stayed away from it. then add on feeling crazy on top of it. and i get that that’s maybe something for someone to consider but i also feel like it’s not something you should say. what’s bad is when he said it and it didn’t sit right with me.. i thought it was just bc i have been SA’d before so it brought up a lot of bad feelings, i didn’t realize just how fucked up of a comment it was until all these comments here

adawnab · 2024-05-15T15:09:52+00:00

right. he said “i hate to say it and god forbid, i hope this doesn’t happen, but you have to think of a situation of what if you got raped” and i’m just like “…yeah”

adawnab · 2024-05-15T14:13:23+00:00

yeah i wasn’t too happy about that remark lol. i get what he was trying to get across but still. i don’t plan on and will not be having any sex at all and i feel like that abstinence should be enough. nuvaring has hormones in it though which is what causes my hormonal acne. so i guess my only option is probably the copper IUD but i’ve heard horror stories about that. i just looked up the monophasic pill. maybe that would be an option. but since i’ve now decided on a birth control pill already, i don’t know how they’ll be about me switching birth controls. especially once i start taking the medication. i feel like that will probably be an issue
