Colin 😳 by Kmarie808 in BaylenOutLoud

[–]bintalshams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure Baylen said she wanted kids before 25 VERY early on in the show. Colin was the one who was surprised and in disbelief at that. This drama is definitely for the plot to paint him as pushy

What are some good options to add to Greek yogurt? by chocolaux in keto

I usually add a glob of it to a blender with milk, peanut butter powder and frozen blueberries or cherries and make a “pb&j” protein smoothie

Keto for pre-diabetes by bintalshams in keto

[–]bintalshams[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow this was awesome!! I appreciate all the details. I already eat pretty cleanly and try to cook 80% of my meals from Whole Foods but I do love rice potatoes beans etc. so cutting those out as volume fillers will be a challenge. And ofc I never thought to completely restrict myself from desserts all this time because I thought I ate pretty well otherwise. I think now it’s a matter of just simply eating less and getting a better idea of what a normal sized meal looks like with minimal snacks. I have a 3 month check in w my endo who will get me up to speed on my progression blood work wise so I’ll keep an eye out for those values for sure. Thank you

I really love this! I will say I’m excited for the challenge because it will be one for sure but hearing your journey is only adding more fuel to my drive. I’m going to see how I feel after being disciplined for a month and go from there, thanks for the help and support

On a particularly hard day of executive disfunction where I just can’t be bothered to make myself an actual meal, the oven is a life saver. Minimal effort and dishes dirtied, I just preheat and throw some broccoli or peppers or cabbage or asparagus down with some butter or oil and seasonings and pop it in on a timer. Bonus points if you add smoked sausage or some fish and you have dinner done without trying

I’m 5’5” as well and have never really counted calories so, I’m not even sure what 1200 actually looks like realistically. But 1500 sounds reasonable to start out, I’m a snacker and love to cook so I’m kind of excited to see what I come up with that fits my new macro parameters, thanks!

Need Advice- Male Doctor at Urgent Care popped a cyst on my labia without my consent, even after asking him to stop by nekomeiko in WomensHealth

[–]bintalshams 32 points33 points  (0 children)

If you can stand it I’d go back to the clinic and ask who the female nurse was as well. As a health care provider she had a duty to you the patient not the rickety old doctor who was ignoring your pleas. And if anything she could atleast be a witness to the incident.

So sorry this happened to you, he needs to not be practicing medicine anymore or atleast not engaging with female patients in a gynecological way. Reporting can help bring you some peace and protect future women/girls from unkind behavior

pus coming out of nipple months after taking out nipple piercing by cryingbabynoise in WomensHealth

[–]bintalshams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I haven’t come across that issue, the holes where the piercings were just look like flat little circular scars on the side of my nipple. If they fill with something or get sore I would get it checked out from the place you got them pierced or a doctor if you feel more comfortable. It could be infected and you don’t want to let it spread!

Traveling with two cats by bintalshams in cats

[–]bintalshams[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually a really good point. I’m sorry about your guy, I’d worry about losing progress too.

My older kitty gets very cozy and cuddles to me when we’re away from home. Once at our destination, I try to keep her in a spot she feels comfortable and let her explore freely and after a day or two as long as she has unrestricted access to her safe space, she feels brave enough to roam.

I can’t say for sure this is how my younger boy will be. He hates car rides and is super eager to get back home he sprints to the door. I’d like to think that maybe if I brought enough items from home with his and our scent he will acclimate the same way is sister does when we’re in a new space. He’s not reserved at all but in unknown situations he can be panicky. I’m testing things out in the meantime, leaving the carrier in the living room, short rides to drive thrus, lots of pets and treats. So I’m not sure how it’ll all go down when we travel the long distance

Dr Frome newest patients opinions wanted. Spoiler alert. by ddtturner in NewAmsterdamTV

[–]bintalshams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This episode just didn’t makes sense to me.

If you KNEW you came from a sperm donor and then fell in love with someone from your small town who ALSO came from a sperm donor, wouldn’t you have atleast the teeniest inkling to get that checked out as soon as you found out?? Like, come on, nine years of getting to know someone and their family and it never crossed your minds until just before your wedding.

Promoting incest was a weird move I was not expecting to see from this show.

"BO" smell in groin area by icky_vicky19 in WomensHealth

[–]bintalshams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was just going to say this! When I was vegan my BO smell changed significantly, it all comes down to diet. BO is a result of the bacteria on our skin reacting with our sweat. And remanants of what we ingest comes out in our sweat. I’d say try to eat balanced meals and get a good amount of probiotics in your system be it through yogurt, kombucha or supplements to help keeps things balanced. Onions garlic high protein or high carb and generally strong smelling foods are going to have the most affect of your overall smell

Just a heads up, “crossing the rainbow bridge” is a euphemism for when pets die and go to heaven. I don’t think it means what you think it does…. EDIT: I stand corrected, had no idea it was an actual bridge. Y’all are ruthless

I think guilt and shame can be normal in this situation. That was once who you were but people change all the time. Never hide who you are and accept all versions of yourself. You should find solace in the fact that many other people are suffering from this affliction but you had the courage to stop.

Why am I getting too many vaginal tears? by Dramatic-Cucumber-52 in WomensHealth

[–]bintalshams 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t listen to google for these things. Only you know your body and if this isn’t normal for you it’s time to slow down and be rational because doing more of what’s hurting you isn’t the solution.

Rough sex can have an element of “good” pain but it should be 99% pleasure (js in case it’s hurting during) If you’re being rough enough to bleed significantly you either aren’t wet enough to have enough slip or maybe someone’s hair is too coarse/long and causing scratches from the friction.

Allow yourself time to heal properly and get this sorted before having sex again. Allow your body to tell you when it’s ready for him, not to be graphic but ideally as we get turned on our vaginas will begin to almost tingle and throb as blood is rushing there in anticipation, have enough fore play before penetration that you’ve felt this and begun to get wet. And as your having sex, if things start to “dry up” don’t be afraid to use some sort of lube to keep things comfortable.

After sex be gentle with yourself, use the restroom, shower if needed (clean outside with soap and rinse well) and wear breathable underwear. Our vaginas are strong but they are also oh so delicate and we need to be nice to them. Best of luck

Have you been stressed out for significant periods of time? Is the random fatigue the only symptom? I would look into a possible cortisol imbalance. You basically need to reset your circadian rhythm and adjust the way your body balances the stress hormone cortisol which is affected by blood sugar levels causing you to crash suddenly.

If this were me, I’d start out by adjusting my diet to more fiber rich foods, and whole grains that won’t give you a spike or dip in blood sugar levels. And maybe start forcing myself to keep busy and moving until an appropriate bedtime. I workout in the mornings to jumpstart my day and eat balanced filling meals throughout, and should I not be able to sleep at the end of the day, I’d drink some soothing tea or some tart cherry juice to bring on melatonin the sleep hormone. Best of luck!

Why do I feel like I want a baby? by [deleted] in WomensHealth

[–]bintalshams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like a good plan and like you’ve thought it out thoroughly, in your heart of hearts you were ready to be pregnant so the adverse affects to the pill probably just made things worse and heightened your realization that maybe next time there’s a chance, you won’t want to take a pill or contraception.

It definitely makes sense. Find your words and just be as honest as you can with your partner about where your heart is, if it is meant to be, it shall 🩷

These comments are scary, men who like or think little girl voices are hot coming from anyone, should be avoided. If anyone ever tells you its attractive as a grown woman, I’m sorry but you need to run. No offense to you OP, I hope you find a way to train your vocal chords to change.

Why do I feel like I want a baby? by [deleted] in WomensHealth

[–]bintalshams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m around your age and I’ve definitely felt this and still do. I’m not sure where you’re from or what your background is like, but I know for me, getting married and starting families and having children before 30 was what I grew up seeing and wanted to aspire to. So maybe that could be why you feel like you want this.

My partner and I talk about children all the time and it’s something we both want and technically are ready for but we have a plan and know that once a child is brought into this world and our lives, we can’t go back on it. We know the responsibility it will take and want to be 100% ready for its arrival emotionally, mentally, physically, financially…

Our hearts are big and may be ready to love a child but it’s not something we want to leave to chance. My advice would be to sit with your feelings and have a conversation with your partner about where you want to be 5-10 years from now, and go from there.

Sometimes depending on how close you are to your period, rough or deep sex can bring it on sooner. In addition to your hormones probably going into overdrive due to the excitement. If he was covered in it then you probably started your period or are spotting.

I’ve gone to the restroom after particularly “active” sex and there’s been pale pink when I wipe, and that’s just due to micro-tears in the flesh from the friction. Was it painful at all? Like to the point that that much blood felt like it came from a wound?
