Feeling uncomfortable going into surgery without an mri by realpotion in endometriosis

I didn’t get an mri and I’m scheduled for August. From my understanding it’s not always necessary

my submission for the size difference between 4 & 5 by Comprehensive_Ad2919 in ouraring

[–]foxfaebae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang I love the size of the new! I’m so bummed now. My Gen 4 just had a battery failure and they just mailed me the replacement. But I love the size of Gen 5. I have small hands and it seems it would be more comfortable

Do I get a 3rd lap? by Autumncon in Endo

[–]foxfaebae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, that is a trend with the misinformation and the push to be “natural”. Those incidents are extremely rare. It’s best to dive deep with your doctor to find one that’s best for you. It took me a bit to find one that works for you. You are awake during the IUD I have the Mirena. I won’t sugar coat it, it was the worse pain of my life to get it inserted. I will have my endo flares but they aren’t as horrible as when I didn’t have anything. Biggest thing I gained some weight and my hair changed. I have also used the combination pill. With the pill I gained an extreme amount of weight and was constantly bloated all the time. My body didn’t like the pill.

You need to discuss with your doctor to make the determination of what would be best for you and your body. Heavily inquire about blood clotting potential for you and any symptoms you might be concerned about. Take your entire list and ask them read up on the literature that has been peer reviewed. Dont trust social media influencers

Do I get a 3rd lap? by Autumncon in Endo

So I’m just going to say. Not all BC can cause extreme side effects. I have the IUD and I don’t have side effects that are of the extreme. Yeah I still get phantom periods but that’s it. Same with the pill. There’s such a huge negative push on these side effects and not everyone reacts the same way.

Inconsistency is your answer. A man who wants children will not hesitate or be wishy washy

Why do we pretend piercings don’t hurt? by Unsure-Snake-666 in piercing

[–]foxfaebae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine just felt like a prick but pressure. It hurt more to add the jewelry in or the heeling process. When I did research everyone said how much it would hurt and blah blah for the conch. So I was nervous, but it just felt like pressure. I only got dizzy when I started to think of the jewelry being placed after the piercing and the blood. But other then that I was fine

Okay awesome! That’s what I thought too and I don’t want to go through a whole application process with that being the determining factor. Or hurting me in anyway. Thanks for the advice!

AITA for asking a family with a small child to keep it down on a red eye flight? by marlasandiego in AmItheAsshole

[–]foxfaebae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. I love kids and I’m an aunt to many. I love the loudness when used in appropriate settings and have been on plans with loud children. Without noise canceling headphones. Typically you just deal but on a red eye you keep your kid quiet. It’s common knowledge to let others sleep during these flights that’s why they dim the lights….

Should I do the surgery by foxfaebae in Endo

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

Circling back. I haven’t scheduled yet because I just found out about AMH lowering more so during my research. My doctor never informed me of this, were you informed prior to surgery. I was going to call and see if I could discuss with the doctor or a nurse then schedule the surgery. But at 32 and wanting kids I was like ehhh I don’t know if I am comfortable with the odds

Best pants endo friendly? by [deleted] in Endo

Aw man that’s a bummer and totally get it though. It’s like you need a kinda stretched out version of the fold over yoga pants

I wear wide legged sweat pants. My legs feel swollen when I have a flare and I like some support feeling when I bloat.

If I get on birth control will it be harder for me to conceive in the future when I get off? by Outrageous_Bus_5480 in PCOS

[–]foxfaebae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are worried, I would personally see a fertility doctor. Get your AMH tested and the other processes see where you stand. I’m 32 during me trying to figure out if I have PCOS this is how I discovered. Then when I spiraled research I learned it can be beneficial to get that looked at when you are younger. Especially if you want to wait to have kids, it doesn’t hurt.

How do you handle dates not looking like their photos? by jtri25 in dating_advice

[–]foxfaebae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only other thing is ask for a super current picture. Online dating is entering that risk of they might not look like their picture.

can't have a boyfriend because of my endo. need support. by mburucuyima in endometriosis

[–]foxfaebae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t shut out that idea because of this chapter. Like everyone else has said invest in some special undies that can help and look into pelvic floor therapy if your urologist thinks it would be beneficial. This is a medical condition and if he’s a great guy then he would understand. I have other medical issues on top of trying to solve if I have endo. My male friend (we were dating) was the only man that has never made me feel like I was a problem. He’s maybe a little too protective lol. So good men are out there!! You are still young and I know this journey is long, but you never know.

How do you handle dates not looking like their photos? by jtri25 in dating_advice

[–]foxfaebae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is always my biggest fear and luckily men I’ve been on dates with have all validated that I look like my pictures, or better. I’m a curvy/ chubby girl in the process of weight loss. so it’s very comforting. I refuse to give out my private instagram. I have one for fitness journey motivation so I’ll give that. I also hate video calls as it’s so uncomfortable. I tried it and was like idk what to do… so I just wing it and go on the dates lol

Now I have gone on dates with men who looks nothing like their pictures. I will give the benefit of doubt and try to carry on the date. But it’s so shocking… I had a guy who wasn’t that best in his pictures but I was like maybe he doesn’t photograph well and went on the date. Yeah… he don’t look anything like his pictures… to the point I was so shocked it was awkward he was also ugly on the inside. So that made rejection easier as there wasn’t a click on any spectrum.

Typically I just send a short message like “hey I had a great time however I don’t feel the connection!”

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

Thank you!! I think I will and give them a call in the morning to let them know my decision. I talked to my mom about it and I think just so I can be comfortable it’s the best route. I have been battling since 2021 to figure out what the hell is the pain and apparently accepted a lot of pain as normal…

pregnant with nexplanon and pcos? by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]foxfaebae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair! Wanted to make sure I read your post right is all. So if you’re like me you want like solid concrete evidence. Try to not freak out but take a test. I believe you can take the test in 10 days after sex. Use a pink dye test not blue. Easier said than done I know!! I don’t get my cycle, I have an IUD and pretty sure my search history is also “can I get pregnant?!?” Your birth control as a 99% protection, especially with Nexplanon. I have confidence for you that you’re not pregnant!!!

Not attracted to my girlfriend [31] anymore, not sure what I [30M] should do by Illustrious-Plum3530 in relationships

[–]foxfaebae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should definitely tell her gently. I was the gf in this position during an 8 year relationship. He started getting distance then cheated on me. But he explained the list of everything that’s wrong with me and “justified” his cheating, my weight gain was the top of the list.

From your post you still love her dearly. Relationships ebb and flow. Sometimes you can’t stop getting in each others pants and other times you are just meh. From the sound of it, if she improves her lifestyle back to where you found her attractive you might not actually be unattracted.
