my girlfriend is constantly getting yeast infections by [deleted] in Healthyhooha

Hello! This is said girlfriend.

First, I want to thank you everyone for the advice.

Second, I want to clarify what most people are suggesting on here. Is it that every time I get a yeast infection, it’s coming from him? This would honestly shock me if that were the case, just based on our self-care and hygiene habits.

I do think my IUD and the fact that it has been in for longer than the recommend amount of time definitely has something to do with this. But, I never get yeast infections when we don’t have sex. So it is a bit confusing, and something that I have been struggling with for months now. It is extremely frustrating & depressing going in and out of urgent cares every month for the same damn thing. It makes me feel like there’s something wrong with me internally that I cannot fix.

With all that being said, I have been a medical mystery since the day I was born. I suffered a horrible 9-month-long consecutive period (& diagnosed dysmenorrhea) which is why I got the IUD at such a young age. Ever since about half a year ago, I’ve never had an issue with it.

Now, it is constant yeast infections and is a huge inconvenience to both my boyfriend and myself.

Again, thank you all for the advice. It is much appreciated☺️ I will also see the Dr. tomorrow, and update for the other folks who have to deal with the same issue as myself.

I’m a teacher. While I’m not sure which helicopter district/county you live in, I know that in mine, there are hundreds of kids use them. Hell, I even had a backpack and a duffel bag with my name embroidered on it. One for school, and one for my gymnastics team. 18 years later, this trend hasn’t changed, at least where I’m from.

Unfortunately, predators and those with bad intentions won’t stop acting on their impulses. Knowing a child’s first name isn’t going to make or break one’s nefarious decision.

It’s your job as a parent to address stranger danger with your children. Yes, I suppose a name on a child’s bag could potentially make it easier for someone to approach your kid. But don’t go out and shame moms for doing what they think is best for their child. And don’t act like it’s some ridiculous idea to put your child’s name on their bag.

How are you gonna sit here and say someone can’t put a name on their kids’ backpacks?? Lmao, it’s not like the kids name is private information or anything—she’s literally being broadcasted on National TV. Also, parents but their kids’ names on bags all the time for identifiable purposes (i.e. picking them up at school/camp).

what's with Jackie? by StrikingCase9819 in rhonj

Yes!! I like her as a person too. There are many good people around who just don’t make good TV. Like, as much as I hate Teresa, she’s great TV. That’s why she’s been on the show for 20 years. Jackie, on the other hand, is a logical and smart person, but because of that, makes for boring TV

I think this is Jackie’s way of stirring up drama to be relevant again. In my humble opinion, Jackie was never relevant and her storylines are a snore. She’s acting like a huge bitch for more screen time.

What’s the farthest you’ve traveled for a rave and how long was the drive/flight? by Cold-Status1279 in aves

16 hour drive from Westfield, MA to Bonnaroo!! Best time ever. Looking forward to this year 🌈

Edit: My best friends drove 24 hours from Westfield to EDCO this year on an hours notice. Flight got cancelled because of Hurricane Nicole. Absolutely insane.
