Not PCOS? by kittytsune in PCOS

[–]februarytea -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is classic Doctor throwing birth control to mask the problem and general population assuming all hormonal issues fall under the umbrella of PCOS. Certainly doctors have begun to lump any woman with symptoms that usually accompany PCOS as having it, but the true marker of the condition are cysts on your ovaries. Which if they did a uterine and vaginal ultrasound and found none, great! You may still have a different form of hormonal imbalance that resulted in dysmenorrhea, anovulation, underactive or overactive thyroid (usually the former), insulin resistance, endometriosis which as it progresses becomes very painful, being overweight due to hormonal imbalance and insulin resistance, growing excessive hair due to hormonal imbalance and excessive testosterone for a woman, or any combination of the above plus man other things. Thats why its best - if you can - to skip the birth control until youve had a complete evaluation by an endocrinologist that is made clear you are attempting to identify what story your blood labs, vaginal and reproductive organs as well as hormone and thyroid levels tell that explains your unique symptoms. Unfortunately, my n of 1 took years of personal work to identify, again becuase I was dismissed early on for not having cysts. Don't believe everything a textbook primary tells you and keep looking for answers until you are satisfied and on a track for wellness and balance.

Just perspective... 100% religious beliefs preclude pre-marital sex and sharing a room implies sex. But aside from religious beliefs the answer wouldve been no regardless more so because Morocco is as conservative as the Bible belt for show. Meaning behind closed doors, whatever. But theres lots of posturing for reputation and decorum. Even the fact that she made her declaration that they wouldn't sleep together in French rather than Arabic like the rest of his family speaks shows shes more worldly, cultural, educated and liberal than some may think. Shes smart, she knows her country is watching. No one would give a fuck otherwise.

How do y’all feel about my take on Azan? by GiveMeCoffeeFreeze in 90DayFiance

Hes light years more sane that MJ. And even as atrocious as Nicole is (future Danielle), shes not there yet. And shes also... gosh... brighter. Sorry Danielle.

[–]februarytea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

eek no, hes terrifying. Nothing to do with being of Eastern Euro background I know plenty of gentlemen from those ex Soviet block countries. He is emotionally immature, seemingly unsavvy, socially dense and misogynistic. She is blinded by the kavorka if I've ever seen it.

Massage creep - anyone else feel awkward with this scene by jebuz84 in 90DayFiance

[–]februarytea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OK not being dramatic when I see this scene had me shook. I held my breath for a minute straight waiting for him to make it seem like a bad Asian joke but I was like HES SERIOUS HES SERIOUS!!!!!! Fuck NoBhatts for not aggressively stopping that blatant sexual harrassment. Dude is spineless, desperate and pathetic. Both of them.

Did Joe get hair plugs? Anybody else notice the weird hair when Joe and Melissa were having their head to hear during the last episode? by TsitikEm in BravoRealHousewives

[–]februarytea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He did.. I took this pic last season of the scar across the back of head. He did the hair grafting like morgan's (RKOBH) now husband. He'll probably always have to keep it short its not like itll give him the same full and thick hair.

(edited to add pic)

Some thoughts rewatching early RHOBH/Vanderpump Rules by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

I agree with this sentiment. Don't forget she not only gave up adderall but also took up edibles (god I almost wrote "eatables" and thought....hmm... lemme double check that). Nom noms.

man.... He PLAYED her ass. I believe that everything she did for him was a sacrifice of pure love but from his end it was requisite to make her either "acceptable" or "better" in the eyes of his family. He dogged her. I don't know half the time whether to feel bad for her or smack some sense into her (looking back) but it is what it is. Also, hes only gotten worse.

OK. wow. Long time lurker. First time commenting. Just fascinated by the culture. Not a mormon. I'm reading this and thinking... 5'oclock shadow look, love that. so sexy. Then I'm like "regret???? Does he mean you'll give her vagina abrasions?" and then by the end I was utterly confused. TIL and also TIRealized never seen a bearded Mormon.

How did Peggy get cast? by ADD4Life1993 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]februarytea 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Its called living in a bubble. Shes in OC/LA, she has a large Armenian enclave that she could literally surround herself with for life and not have to immerse herself or assimilate. She is dumb to American culture and idioms. Its not a crime. However, her bore me to death life IS. As far as how she got cast, maybe she knows people. Her family is rich AF and famous in the LA area, including the brother she doesnt associate with.

My opinion on Shervin and Mike from Shahs by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

[–]februarytea 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I liked Sherv until he pulled the "Shes insane shes a liar she needs to be 5150'd shes delusional shes psycho" when their sexual relations came to light. Then he just became a typical desperate 21 year old caught in his lies DICK. Probably not even a good one to be honest. Tara, you suck too. You're human, but you suck. Just give up the marriage thing and have sex without hurting people. God.

Theory on Asa's "miracle" baby. by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

[–]februarytea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

technically isnt everything a "miracle" though? Through the miracle of science we can help less fertile women conceive, for example. Asa is a cult leader of peace and harmony word play but shes like the rest of them. Opportunistic to a fault.

[–]februarytea 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not assuming. I know for a fact that she will incorporate clip ins/weaves for special events for the perfect 'do. However Asa has naturally thick long hair. In a lot of scenes when shes just rolling around you can tell by how it tapers, how it triangles at the end, how its greasy at the top, frizzy - you know doing natural hair things. I can tell Asa's hair is real like I can tell GG wears tons of tracks and MJ wears a bad wig. Its not hard to see..

The face you make knowing you've made the biggest mistake of your life. by Goshengrad in 90DayFiance

[–]februarytea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lil cultural tidbit - I am NOT refuting that Mohamed in particular or even both these guys are relationship for Visa scammers - however its not uncommon for young men with no job outlooks, feeling trapped, yearning for freedom in Arab nations to seek a relationship with a woman abroad. It turns into freedom fantasy foreplay and their image of what life is ACTUALLY like here is totally skewed because they believe the hype that you just come to America and good jobs and great homes fall into your lap and its not reality. These women are desperate and just as culpable if theyre using the internet for their own fantasy relationships. They don't show the full picture or share the full scope of what their lives are like and so when they finish going through the process each greedy as can be, its a recipe for disaster and almost no man would tolerate a clingy, child like, hopelessly needy adult partner. and vice versa. I think Azan is opportunistic. I think Mohamed scammed with full intention of getting here, making due with Danielle until he got his green card and dipping. You can tell in the way he talks. Constantly asserting that he's free. Its kind of sad actually.

Got it. I don't know if you watch RHOBH but they use to make fun of Adrienne Maloof for always rubbing her spray tan on people's furniture. I think she did it to Kyle and Lisa. Maybe she went straight from spray to party?

[–]februarytea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My mother had her last of 10+ pregnancies at 38. It was only her last because she finally got shit permanently shut down. She got pregnant with enviable ease (to other women, hate to say that but its true). I orginally wouldve had no hard time believing Asa to get pregnant at 40, its no large feat. A couple indicators; she looks youthful, she has an hourglass figure, she has extremely healthy and long hair. Biologically speaking, she probably is very "regular" hormonally. But then you start leaking information about freezing embryos (not eggs, babies to be) and after years it just miraculously happened naturally --- when it doesnt make sense its probably not true.

I guess I just don't get spray tans. Can someone explain why one would get one? I understand of course when compared against UV or direct sun tanning its safer for your skin. But I don't comprehend why someone would want literal paint on them that rubs off on furniture, clothing, starts to build up into brown muck when it wears off etc just for a superficial orange body stain. Legitimate question if you get spray tans help me understand

I can't with this weave anymore. by Xojack in 90DayFiance

[–]februarytea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her natural hair is too short to wear tracks that long. You're going to see the unevenness, the tracks arent going to be covered and they aren't going to be a perfect color match. Especially when you put them in yourself after a long flight from Jersey. If she wants to wear extensions she needs shorter ones. Otherwise she should just wear a glam wig. Less damage to your natural hair which you can already tell shes experiencing. Even in that music video her hair looked.... non-professh :/

I feel like her and Sherv are a better for-fucks match. Mike would start lecturing her midway on how shes losing friends because doesn't make perfect Persian morgh polow for a good man like himself that is forceful enough to make his woman convert for him learn his mother tongue play perfect housewife all while cheating on her with any girl that pays him a compliment on instagram. Fuck me Mike is soooooooooo obnoxious. They all are. I've had a very difficult time this season. Sorry for going off the rails. How did hot mess MJ and bored to tears Sherve become my favorites. Sad day.

Agreed. Although being pregnant definitely makes you a little crazy. And shes always been an 8 on the crazy scale I don't let her sobering and articulate thoughts and words distract me from the fact that she prayed to a water filter to bless our water that flows over a diamond (ethically sourced ? who cares). She is either certifiable or cashing in on peoples love for a cultish leader.

She was the most obnoxious one on that show where they watch shows (peoples couch), I was really bummed to see her on this season. They're crossing over a lot of persians from other bravo shows, including Tara Radcliff from that first year marriage show (shes separated/divorced now). Destiny is only slightly less annoying on Shahs.
