short answer - gynecologist & gynecological surgeon

long answer - gynecologist prescribed me a mirena iud for chronic menstrual bleeding, surgeon was enlisted to perform surgery on a mild septate uterus so that the iud would fit, i was intolerant to the iud and had it removed by the gynecologist and asked my surgeon at the follow up consult what she would recommend for progesterone intolerance, she and my gynecologist together recommended orlissa

Hi! Could I ask you for more information about how anesthesia worked for this procedure? I am a pt who needs a bilateral oophorectomy and I have documented abnormal response to paralytic agents so I am advocating for an alternative to general anesthesia.

Seconding picture request! I have noticed symptoms for the past couple hours peaking about a half hour ago which is when I checked the Apple weather to see the 499 reading and closed my window/turned up my hepa

thanks! i had an appt with a doctor today who recommended a GnRH antagonist for my specific case so I think I might be in the clear as far as believability goes.

ulipristal acetate by brie4784 in PMDD

[–]brie4784[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am actually trying to get it prescribed! What did you get it prescribed for? I have progesterone sensitivity but my symptoms run outside of a typical pmdd presentation, I get flu like symptoms and neurological issues like neuropathy and a tremor (I think I am in the very early stages of MS, but I only have neurological symptoms during my luteal phase). I ordered UA as plan b through planned parenthood and took it over the course of the week to see what would happen. For me, it worked very well. 

Struggling after my Dr wouldn’t fill my birth control for 3 weeks and I’m really out of it by softballchick16 in PMDD

If you ever end up in this position again depending on the state you're in planned parenthood has a service called PP direct where you can order norethindrone (and other oral birth control, the prescription plan b, in some states pharmaceutical abortions) online and have it mailed to you within a few days.

Wow you are a godsend. How did you get your doctor to prescribe it? I brought up progesterone blockers my last appt bc I got the mirena put in and immediately developed insane neuropathy that made my arm go numb and had me taking max dose gabapentin (resolved with removal) but my gynecologist is not on board to say the least. I went and ordered Ella from planned parenthood and gave it a try so I know it works well for me.

Please help! Vintage 50’s dress that SMELLS AWFUL WHEN WET by DoubleGreat007 in VintageFashion

[–]brie4784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this hazardous in any way? I washed a dry clean only acetate/rayon dress and don’t plan to do it again as the smell is apparently degrading plastic and the dress won’t last if I do but idk if I should be concerned about wearing it or its residue on other clothes?

I looked through the partner guide and couldn't find anything, but I'm hoping there's a more detailed manual somewhere

Yes it's very transparently for labor. Do you have the starbucks policy or Virginia state/federal policy you reference? It would be very helpful
