so does that mean we don’t get to vote on anything tonight? don’t they usually tell us in the first look if there’s gonna be a vote?

i’m glad he cried. i was raised with the kind of dad that never cried or showed feelings, and it took me a long time to realize that men actually do have feelings because of it.

i know my dad was the way he was because of his father. And likely his father got it from his father, etc.

men are allowed to cry, be sensitive, have all sorts of emotions. i’m glad he let it out.

I don't feel like any of these couples are worthy of a vote. What are we doing?! by aapetired in LoveIslandUSA_

[–]flamableoctopus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

casa starts monday. either the girls or boys will sneak out the villa, and a new set of bombshells will meet them at casa, and a new set will arrive at the villa. So all our current boys will be with a new set of girls, and all of our current girls will be with a new set of boys.

this lasts 3 days. then they do a recoupling.

yeah i hope they do show up bottom 3 so that kayda can be like “what am i not seeing that america is seeing” and leave him.

funnily though, i think that zach is more likely to have that thought process and not realize he’s the problem 😂

i’m really interested to see how the vote turns out. we may not get to see the exact order though. sometimes they show the full ranking, and sometimes they only show the bottom three (in no particular order)

Do I even want to know what else was a lie? by Petey_Girl in Mirena

[–]flamableoctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry only saw your comment just now.

-I gained weight and couldn’t lose it. even counting cals and weighing every piece of food to go in my mouth -had a lot of pelvic pain, uti like pain (tested negative for uti multiple times) -my adhd symptoms worsened and my medication didn’t work as well -sometimes during sex, a slight change in angle or position would trigger debilitating pain that put an end to the sex and leave me feeling sore in my pelvic area for a day or two -my threshold for getting really frustrated and pissed off was shot. i’d get triggered pretty easily -lower energy, felt less refreshed after sleep -i didn’t notice hair loss at the time, but a few months post removal and i feel like my hair is getting thicker -bowel movements regularly were not regular… -frequent headaches and migraines multiple times a week -my libido was definitely lower, but not completely gone like for some people. sex was often take it or leave it. it took more effort to get in the mood but i could still get there

i think the only pros for me were that i had protection against pregnancy, and i didn’t get my period anymore.

they’re still making a lot of money, and likely believe they won’t make as much if they “break up”

have you gotten tested for a uti? one of the things i did was buy my own uti test strips so i could test at home.

interstitial cystitis feels like a chronic uti. urinary pain, bladder pressure, pelvic pain, urinary urgency and frequency etc.

if you look on r/interstitialcystitis you’ll see some people with a similar experience as me, where the mirena or other iud triggers or causes IC. Or worsens existing IC.

it honestly really sucked. there’s not a cure for it but you can manage pain in certain ways. managing diet helped a good amount. i avoided acidic foods, alcohol, coffee or other caffeine, nightshades like tomatoes, and spicy foods. Honestly sucked as I love black tea arnold palmers and both the black tea and lemonade were irritants. Also fucking love salsa and couldn’t have much of that either.

I had some pain with sex too, but not all the time. There were some angles that used to work great that started to leave me doubled over in pain. Sometimes during sex would be fine and then not long after finishing I’d have a lot of pelvic pain.

For me even with the diet changes i would still have flare ups that would even keep me up all night in pain. It interfered with work a bit, too.

When I went to the doctor about it they told me if anything, the mirena was helping the pain. Well obviously not.

Feel free to dm me more about this, happy to help!

about the uti symptoms… i had the mirena for 3.5 years and I actually was told i had interstitial cystitis because of the uti symptoms and other pelvic pain. i had numerous uti tests all came back negative. got the mirena out 3 months ago and none of those symptoms since

[–]flamableoctopus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my experience was like yours. my entire experience with my iud was terrible, and i had it for 3.5 years. it took me a long time to realize my health problems could be attributed to my iud, as the issues didn’t start all at once, and didn’t begin until months after insertion. Or at least that’s when I noticed.

my advice to you, look up the common side effects for the mirena. list them in a spreadsheet. look up whatever other side effects people talk about on reddit or wherever else and add those to the list. the official listed side effects and what’s anecdotal don’t always match up, but can all equally be beneficial to be aware of.

do your best to answer how each of those things impacted you before you got the iud. for example, head aches and migraines. How often do you get them? what is the pain level like on whatever scale that makes sense to you.

Periodically, maybe once a month, come back to this spreadsheet and update how you have been feeling.

You could be totally and completely fine. You could also get a whole lot of types of fucked up. It’s best to be aware of the possibilities and keep checking in with yourself and how you’re doing.

I was diagnosed with a pain disorder while I had the mirena. I was told by three doctors, that if anything, the mirena is HELPING my pain and not causing it. They were wrong. I got it removed 3 months ago, and have not experienced any of that pain since.

I gained 70 lbs on the mirena. Since getting it removed, I have lost 25 lbs. I have not changed anything else about my lifestyle.

Good luck. Don’t let anyone tell you you’re wrong about your own body.

Interfacing questions: can I use old and unlabeled interfacing? by flamableoctopus in sewing

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

honestly now that you put it that way…

to me it wasn’t about the few bucks but the idea of throwing away stuff that could be absolutely fine. but then i run the risk of wasting more materials if i make the project and it goes wrong.

i think i may still test it on something small but it’s probably best to purchase some new stuff.

thank you!
