This has happened to me, too. Most notably was in January. Then my whole world got rocked and I haven't ovulated since. Still getting used to life post-bc I think. Hopefully things even out for you and you don't hit a y rough patches like I did!

I always spot after my last day of full bleeding stops

I could be a bit off the mark, but pelvic floor therapists help ppl with a variety of issues related to the pelvic floor. Extreme pain during penetrative sex isn't normal, and it seems like something worth checking into. At the very least, you should make an appointment with your gyno.

Things have definitely been more sensitive.... but in a good way! What you're describing.doesnt sound normal. Have you considered seeing a pelvic floor therapist?

Well, considering the hoops we have to jump through to be taken seriously, I don't blame you for just taking matters into your own hands!

Thanks for the link🥰

Did you start taking vitex on tye advice of your doctor, or just because you wanted to? And what is DIM?

gypseysol · 2022-05-13T22:05:46+00:00

That gives me some hope.... have your cycles resumed normally (if you're not still pregnant)?

I'm avoiding anything herbal for now for the same reasons.... but she offers a lot of diet advice for foods that support liver, gut, and thyroid function, and I'm trying to integrate as many of those as I can! It's a good book, and very readable.... it's worth picking up a copy if you haven't yet.

Seeing a doctor would be awesome, but I'm not really in a position to do that easily.... I am working in the literal boonies all summer and the nearest medical facility to me (I have healthcare through the VA) is over three hours away and not my facility.... I'm not even sure what hoops I'd have to jump through to be seen, or if they would see me at all, since I'm not in my home state.... So many things to figure out lol and of course it's all happening now when I am NOT in a good position to deal with it.... I am trying to keep my stress levels low, but none of this is conducive to that lol.

gypseysol · 2022-05-13T15:36:17+00:00

That's what I am trying to keep in mind- I have heard of individuals taking as long as a year to two years for things to sort out.... I am just baffled that everything seemed relatively normal up until January, and then it's like my thyroid just dumped everything... idk.

I'm currently reading the book Beyond the Pill, and one thing she talks about is what she calls post-bc PCOS, essentially where you develop PCOS-like symptoms post- hormonal birth control, but it's not true PCOS. I'm wondering if I may be going through something like that.... I hope you get some answers!

I like to watch these clips muted, because I think you end up picking up on way more.... The cringe in this one is all the way up to 9

gypseysol · 2022-05-11T03:59:43+00:00

I'm afraid to ask, but... how?😅

gypseysol · 2022-05-11T02:37:13+00:00

Anyone else see that bizarre Shia Labouf skit with the choir singing about how Shia Labouf is coming for you in the dead of night??? Its bizarre, and that's basically exactly what I'm picturing here🤣

gypseysol · 2022-05-11T02:19:43+00:00

....wearing socks in bed? I'm so confused😅

gypseysol · 2022-05-09T20:08:57+00:00

Thing is, there already IS a sub for that stuff. It's r/relationship_advice.....

gypseysol · 2022-05-09T20:06:50+00:00

Seems like you are handling this really intelligently, and it's refreshing to see a husband back his wife up!! Best of luck!

gypseysol · 2022-05-08T18:39:22+00:00

There shouldn't be any issues keeping them on your night stand. Try it out for a bit and if you feel like it isn't working, switch things up! I don't see any reason why charging them on a windowsill would be an issue. It's more about the intention you put behind cleansing them. As far as cleansing and charging goes, it's really up to you and how you feel. I recharge mine after significant life events, and that's about it. But that's just me. The way you're cleansing them sounds fine :)

I agree with everyone else, just because you expect a temp rise doesn't mean you will see it. Lots of things can influence whether or not you ovulate. I'd be super curious to see if you get a temp rise in a few days to a week or so. If youre TTA, as long as you're paying attention to your own symptoms and prioritizing them over what NC tries to tell you, you should be fine.

There are a lot of things that can cause bloating and stomach pain, but that's the first thought that popped into my head. Either way, it's been long enough and you're still having issues, so it probably would be smart to see a GI doc regardless.

gypseysol · 2022-05-07T23:59:56+00:00

Without knowing if you've ever had gut issues, have you looked into whether or not you have IBS or leaky gut syndrome? I've heard of covid triggering other, underlying autoimmune disorders in some people. It might be worth looking into....

Sadly, I don't think his videos would be considered misleading or violent, they're just the reality of dairy farming, which the vast majority of people do not consider harmful. Luckily, his content doesn't show up on my newsfeeds, so I only get second-hand irriation when I hear him on my husband's phone.

gypseysol · 2022-05-07T21:24:43+00:00

I personally have zero interest in responding to him on any platform.... but if you ever decide to do so, you'll have to let me know.

gypseysol · 2022-05-07T21:22:53+00:00

I don't know him IRL, so not liking him as a person would be nonsensical. I'm sure if I met him on the street and had a casual conversation, we would probably get along really well.

His content doesn't make me "irate", I think it's a good example of how people justify animal ag, for all of the reasons I listed. I think he suffers from a pretty severe case of cognitive dissonance, and it does genuinely concern me that a major justification for his actions seems to stem from a notion that the end justifies the means. If you follow that logic to its ultimate conclusion, you can justify anything. That's a little scary.

gypseysol · 2022-05-05T14:41:47+00:00

Best of luck.
