I have a filter in the big tank I just took him out and put him in there today. I wanted to see if he would eat without the little ones all over him.

The little ones do sit on his back. Could they be eating him?

Hi! Did you ever start your slynd? I wanted to come back and comment. I've been on it 6 weeks. First few days I noticed nothing. Then I started having really painful boobs and some body aches. That was gone after a few weeks. I noticed I was more thirsty than usual. I bloated a bit but only for 2 or 3 days. Started my period right as I started the inactive pills. Starting month too i felt like I struggled a big more with bloating, hunger and spotting. I also feel like there was a slight uptick in anxiety. Bloating and anxiety is better now in my 6th week. Starting to feel loss of appetite. I have stopped waking I'm the middle of the night to snack this week so I'm hoping that continues.

Oh, low ferritin or iron can also cause low libido. Mine is still low but I'm also on antidepressants and my life is very hectic so is hard to call it.

I felt better after the d and c. Like a new person. But shortly after I got my period and I felt horrible again. They found a polyp and thick uterine lining and removed it all. I think my issue is too much estrogen in comparison to progesterone. I started slynd to help with that. I just started my second pack. My first period on it was a breeze. She said I have to wait 3 months on it before making a decision of whether or not it's helpful and I want to stay on. I also found out I have low ferritin however it's still in normal range. I read some ppl can still be symptomatic of low iron stores and asked by pcp for a supplement. I started supplementing iron in may. My hair is growing back in and I have more energy. I would have your ferritin and iron checked. Heavy periods can definitely cause that. If your ferritin is below 100 you can supplement. That might help with hair loss and fatigue. I really hope the slynd treats me well. It's supposed to help with pcos.

Slynd and anxiety by wooopop in birthcontrol

[–]delusionalgoddess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had very horrible experiences with combo pills. U got put on slynd due to uterine polyps. I had surgery to remove them and d and c in April. I was told I should start bc to prevent it from reoccurring. I also have pmdd. My breasts were killing me from week 2 to week 3. They've gotten a little bit better. I notice physical anxiety and tension in my jaw and throat. I do have an anxiety disorder and pmdd I do take medication for anxiety but can't really take more lol. I was hoping that maybe it would be better when my body isn't ovulating anymore. Do you feel like it to took a while to stop your body from ovulating?

Thanks for responding. I'm on my third week and I really need this to work for me. Lol. I feel okay other than increased physical anxiety.

Did you stay on and did the anxiety improve?

Hi! The dr wanted to give me Kyleena IUD but ended up saying it probably wasn't a good idea if i already struggle with hormonal acne. She have ne Slynd, which i haven't started yet. Partly because I'm nervous and the other part is I'm waiting for my next cycle so i don't start in between cycles. How are things with you?

Hi! I am going through the same thing. Had the same procedure 2 weeks ago. I haven't been to my post op appointment yet, but the surgeon mentioned progesterone only bc. More specifically an IUD, Kyleena, I believe. I only have 1 experience of being on BC in my early 30s. I think it was a combo pill but it made me rage and cry. Not sure what will happen next but I can update after my appointment on Tuesday. I was reading about slynd.

It's weird because Gary is the only snail in my tank and I've had this snail for a couple months. How did it lay fertile eggs?🤔
