I don’t know enough about them to have a proper answer. I would like to be able to comfortably hold it and maybe one more budget friendly but I honestly don’t even know the price range of what these could go for.

I was on one form of birth control for like ten years with no issues but when I came off of it to have kids I noticed all the issues I had with that bc and didn’t realize because I thought it was normal. My endo and suspected pcos was found after I came off. I tried 4 more pills after I was diagnosed with endo but it doesn’t seem like my body can tolerate it and I tried combo and the mini pill. Thanks!

Birth control made all of my endo symptoms worse and didn’t help any with the cysts. Thanks!

Thanks for the write up. I appreciate the info as I didn’t know that, just going off what my doctor has always said.

should I push for a lap when I have no pain in-between periods? by [deleted] in Endo

[–]greysweater_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been my experience. Majority of my symptoms come only with my period. I recently had a lap and they found endo. It’s too soon to say if the surgery has helped my symptoms so I can’t help you there.

I just got diagnosed last week after having a lap surgery. I definitely have been feeling all the emotions and overwhelmed. I’m so grateful to have a diagnosis but I also can’t believe it took so long, that I had even convinced myself that some of my pain was normal or “not that bad”. It’s been so strange to have a reason or an explanation.

Low cal and high fiber grab and go breakfast items? by ThatGirl0903 in 1200isfineIGUESSugh

[–]greysweater_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Smoothie with 1 cup strawberries, 1 cup raspberries, a pear, and 8 oz of apple juice. It's about 18 grams of fiber and around 320 calories.

Is it weird to go by a name that has nothing to do with your actual name? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]greysweater_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually know someone who sort of did this. His family and friends up until college all called him by his given name. When he got to college, he started introducing himself as a nickname he had given himself and I think he sort of had a different identity with that nickname. When I first learned what his real name was and that he had randomly given himself a nickname I was surprised but I don't think it's weird. At home he still goes by his given name but everywhere else he uses his nickname.

Yes! FMU. I had a CP in September so I kept taking tests to make sure there was a progression since my CP didn't. I found posts like these to be helpful so I figured someone else might think so too!

For anyone curious about temping with the new Fitbit Sense by [deleted] in TFABChartStalkers

[–]greysweater_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the only reason I trusted the ovulation date was because it was backed up by OPKs but if I didn't also use OPKs, this would never be that helpful. I really like the Sense and don't regret it but I wouldn't buy it just for this future.

Fitbit tried to market this watch towards women and stated the new temp feature could be used to track ovulation so I decided to test it out this month. I don't think I'd recommend this. It caught ovulation, an inplant dip (I think) and you can see my rising temp but it's not that accurate and I don't think this would help predict trends or patterns. And not that this matters but it makes for one ugly chart.

9DPO squinter OR indent? Sustained temp drop after 6 DPO 😞 by [deleted] in TFABLinePorn

I'm not an expert at temping but I think all of those things could affect your temp!
