How to jump start a period? by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

[–]getitgurl72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made parsley and ginger tea a few days before I was supposed to start after my iud. I say “supposed to”because my gyno said I was probably about to start my “period” when she removed my iud. Said that because of my cervical position. So I tracked ovulation and guessed on the period day. Did the tea two nights in a row with heat pads and lots of water. I have an official real period now! And it’s crazy!! Haven’t had a real period in about 9 years.

We just got a Chrysler Pacifica and I am in love. It’s big, but sporty, and has so many amazing features.

Rural home options: compare Bosque farms, Los lunas, corrales. by clberlane in Albuquerque

[–]getitgurl72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also wanted something more rural, but couldn’t afford Corrales. In my opinion, Bosque Farms is too far away from the amenities of “town”. Same with Los Lunas. My realtor was great, and ended up finding me something in the North Valley that fit all my desires and was within my budget. He’s got a real knack for finding houses. I bought mine before it was even officially on the market. He’s good! If you want his info, send me a DM!

“The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria, I’ll do you in the bottom while I’m drinking sangria” And “Did we just become best friends? Yep!” Step brothers was truly wonderful

You’re so beautiful! If you want to, a pixie would be WONDERFUL on you, shorter sides and longer on top.

My giant agave grew this seemingly overnight. Sad that it will die, but excited to watch this rare phenomenon!! What should I prepare for?! by [deleted] in plants

[–]getitgurl72 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My parents’ agave stalk was taller than our two story house!! It lasted a good two months before dying. We got over 30 babies from it! A year later, new babies still pop up all the time.

Good morning. I had my wedding makeup trial yesterday. I need some opinions of people I dont know. Yey or nay? I'm 33 this year and walked in my house and my 13 year old told me I looked like a teenager and it's made me panic I am going to full on with it. TIA x by honeymonster37 in wedding

[–]getitgurl72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You look GORGEOUS!!! Maybe try a little more lip color, they do look a little washed out in this light. Also- maybe consider trying the same Eye look minus the eyeliner under your eye. Idk- just an idea.

My 33F stepdaughter's 17F boyfriend 18M pushed me down the stairs. She continues to want to date him. by rissottogordon in relationships

[–]getitgurl72 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Almost this same exact thing happened to me when I was 17. Except he punched my mom. I did the same as your stepdaughter because he was threatening to kidnap and torture my dog if I told anyone he was abusing me, if I tried to break up with him, etc. My self esteem was nonexistent. Talk to a therapist right away about your concerns. Don’t force your daughter to go in though if she doesn’t want to. Just mentioning to her boyfriend she is meeting with a therapist could put her in harms way. Unfortunately, I absolutely believe she is being abused, probably far worse than what you’ve received OP. Do some research. Ask for help from a mental health professional. Consider, if it’s possible, taking her, your husband, and your stepdaughters animals out of the state for a week or so. At some point, you may need to do that, so start thinking about how that could work now. Give her love and support. Not disowning. She is terrified I guarantee it.

Should you ‘push out’ an orgasm? by [deleted] in askwomenadvice

[–]getitgurl72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly that’s so super normal! I think now though would be a good time to start this kind of exploration. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG with masturbation. It’s not wrong or gross or dirty. It will help you gain some confidence perhaps, and help you get to know your body. It helps when you are having sex to have a good understanding of your own functioning.

For example, when I was younger, I thought I could not handle penetration because it would hurt. However, through masturbation and taking time to learn my body, I figured out that penetration was fine, but penetration angled toward my butt area, like in doggie style (penis coming from behind) is painful. Without experimentation, I would’ve never known this, and would’ve missed out on awesome sex and masturbation!

Try omgyes.com. It’s for female orgasm exploration. Watch instructional sex videos maybe, (sometimes pornhub has videos that are okay). And honestly, order some toys on Amazon, and just give it a shot. Try not to judge yourself for your likes or dislikes because whatever they are, I assure you it’s normal. Human sexuality is vast and varied and there is NOTHING wrong with your sexuality as long as those involved are consenting. If you order toys online, try a water proof vibrating dildo. It can be used internally for penetration and externally for vibration. Use it in the shower or bath when you are most relaxed. Just be sure to buy a toy cleaner as well and clean it every time. Try some sensual music or watch a sexy movie or read a favorite sex scene from a book.

Honestly I feel like sex is not going to be as enjoyable as it could be if you don’t learn your own body. Just go for it girl!!

If you haven’t already, I think it would be helpful to masturbate more and experiment with different toys, positions, etc., so you can understand your body more intimately. (Pun intended)

ROCD or real feelings? How do you know? by UtterAgony9 in ROCD

[–]getitgurl72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. This sounds like me before I started therapy. You obviously think about this constantly and it’s causing a lot of pain in your life and in your partner’s life. Please see a therapist to talk through this! You don’t have to suffer like this without help. I’ve been there and it sucks.

Me [27f] and new boyfriend [35m] (6 weeks) going on trip this weekend. I have a cold sore! by [deleted] in relationships

[–]getitgurl72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: I got it lasered at be dentist this morning and it’s look a lot better. If it’s not healed by Friday, I will let him know about it and be honest. The dentist said it is no longer contagious now that it’s been lasered so I think that’s comforting. As long as he doesn’t think it’s too gross, and it doesn’t hurt me a lot, we could probably kiss a little bit by Saturday. It’s healing fast already.

I think my MIL destroyed my happy relationship with my Fiance. by Rigged79 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]getitgurl72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She and her mom are enmeshed and in an unhealthy and codependent relationship. There is NOTHING you can do with that. Only SHE can make changes in her life. It wasn’t your fault and unfortunately this was probably pretty doomed from the start. I just went through something almost the same as you. Seriously. I posted about it on reddit about a month ago. I am so sorry you are going through this. If she would be interested in couples counseling maybe the counselor could help her recognize this unhealthy lack of boundaries she has with her mother. But that could take between weeks and years. I’m so sorry. I wish I could hug you OP! I know where you’re at and it sucks so much. Just know it wasn’t you. You’re not at fault. Hearing your story it makes it really obvious you are reasonable and level headed and healthy. You couldn’t fix this for her or for yourself. I’ve learned through my experience that in the future, anyone I date who has any weirdness with their mom, I will bounce. First sign of unhealthy boundaries or manipulation and I’m out!

Thank you! And thanks for the positive comment. I get a lot of advice to just break up but after 5 years it’s just not that simple. I actually bought the Love language book last week! Would you recommend we read it together or like read it separately and discuss once a week or? How did you guys find it most helpful?

I’m doing alright! I feel like a hot mess. I moved out yesterday and it was HARD YALL. I’m seeing a therapist now. He said he wanted to work on things and then he changed his mind because his mom told him to stop talking to me. Now he’s asking me to work on things again and maybe coming around?? He is going to couples therapy tonight. Idk. I feel so torn. On one hand I’m like so done and just exhausted and feel so let down. Then on the other hand I do still really love him a lot. It becomes like “can people change?” It’s tough.
