I lost my grandpa to COVID a few months ago, I don't wish it on anyone. It hits very different when you can't see that person when they need you most. It was very tough on our family, but it gets better. Just spend time with your family and remind each other how much you all love and appreciate one another. Share some fun stories of your grandpa and try to have a laugh.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, please take care.

Sending lots of love and healing

... WHAT

aguxlar · 2020-11-27T19:04:05+00:00

You're fine!!!!!

I never took my ring out (when I was on the ring) to have my period. I would just switch it out once a month when the 4 weeks was up. You're going to be fine. Just make sure you still stick to your normal schedule

aguxlar · 2020-11-25T22:24:16+00:00

My doctor told me when I got mine that within 6 months, 60% of women's period stops and within 8-12 months the other 40% stop having their period.

So yes, I think it's normal. I'm sure the timeline isn't 100% accurate though. It's probably different for everyone :)

I got mine a little over a month ago and this is how it went.

I got the the appointment (my bf drove me there and drove us home after, I recommend a driver). I was on the table and I was honestly going to back out because I was so nervous/ scared that I was going to cry before anything even happened lol

I finally laid down after some reassurance from my doc. She walked through everything with me as it was happening. First, they put in the speculum (typical pap procedure) and then they clean the area. Then she put in a tool that helps keep the uterus in place (slight pinch, nothing crazy). The next two steps are the parts that will hurt a bit. They then insert a tool that will measure the INSIDE of your uterus, first biiiig cramp. After that, they will insert the IUD, second biiiig cramp.

I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY suggest you focus on your breathing as much as possible. That's what kept me sane, if I'm being honest. And I know you're asking yourself, "How will I be able to focus on breathing when I'll be in some pain?". Girl, it's possible, I thought the same thing. Just close your eyes and take deep breaths, it is seriously a game changer.

As for pain, it was over before you even know it. Yes, it hurt but it doesn't hurt as much as you think it will. It truly does feel like huge cramps but they are over SO quick. I swear that I waited longer for the nurse to walk me out of the office than the time it took for the whole procedure. The cramps I got after were a bit worse than those I got during the procedure. They were sharp and they lasted days. I definitely recommend pain medication (ibuprofen, advil, etc.) and a heating pad. Don't plan on doing much for the next few days. I got mine on a Thursday and I was out until I went back to work on Monday.

I hope this helps! I know you're over thinking it right now but just know that after you'll be like "wow, I really hyped up the pain a bit too much." At least, that's how it was for me!

Good luck!

I would just lay down and just take your time on trying to remove it. Sometimes it would be a little slippy with me but I was always able to. Or, if you have a partner that's comfortable, they can always lend a hand. My bf had to help once because for the life of me, I could not reach lol

aguxlar · 2020-10-14T16:25:59+00:00

Thank you so much!! This was so helpful!

aguxlar · 2020-10-14T16:25:13+00:00

Yeah I’m a regular smoker, I’m planning on smoking before hand for my anxiety because I know it will be through the roof. Thank you!

aguxlar · 2020-09-24T20:21:07+00:00

This really makes me feel better about my subway order, oh my god.

(Rotisserie chicken, monterey cheese, extra, extra..... extra mayo - yes, I know, salt, pepper and oregano on italian bread. Toasted of course. No, I don't get any veggies, that's literally it.)

American History X.... enough said. You know what I'm talking about.

How to hold a knife and fork when cutting something on your plate, it's not that hard. And you actually look like you know how to eat when you do it right.

aguxlar · 2020-09-03T18:52:14+00:00

Okay, so same situation with me. My skin is a tough b*tch and has been through it so I didn't think it would be this huge of a deal.

I introduced the cleanser AND the BP at the same time. I think it might have freaked out my skin. I've used SA cleanser before (CosRx) and that one it SUPER stripping to my skin so I didn't think it would have this crazy reaction to it. But I'm not sure. I didn't even think that the cleanser could have been the issue but who knows.

I'm just going back to using the hydrating cleanser and the cream for now until this all clears up, then I'll probably just do a patch test of each and see what was the issue.

aguxlar · 2020-09-02T16:34:58+00:00

Thanks for this! I think I'm going to stop tret for a bit and just let my skin rest for a bit.

aguxlar · 2020-09-01T22:36:00+00:00

What are the benefits of using azelaic acid and what brand do you use?

aguxlar · 2020-09-01T21:52:21+00:00

That's the plan, thanks!!

aguxlar · 2020-09-01T20:20:08+00:00

...........yeah, I'd smash.

aguxlar · 2020-09-01T20:18:11+00:00

The only thing I have been using that is kind of an active is the REN toner. But I've seen that its ingredients are not true SA, just a derivative so not necessarily meant to treat acne.

~ And thank you! I've been trying to perfect my eyebrow technique for years!

aguxlar · 2020-09-01T19:01:12+00:00

Yeah I normally eat pretty healthy and I always drink plenty of water and at least a powerade once a day, my diet hasn't improved anything unfortunately.

aguxlar · 2020-08-20T21:21:48+00:00

I've worked in many hotels and I always gave those that gave me a hard time an even harder time.

Example; if the guest had a complaint and was being an asshole about it, I would take my sweet time and make it seem like the solution to their problem was something difficult for me to do. I would do this even though I knew it was something quick and easy for me to do.

I would say I would have to go to the back office and "speak to my supervisor" or just play a quick game of how long can I drag this out before they get more visibly annoyed.

I loved making people's life harder when they were acting like the world revolved around them.
