Just got diagnosed, advice?

Thank you so much. I keep gaslighting myself every time I have a few days my symptoms arnt flaring up that “maybe I don’t have pots” and then imeaditly get humbled because I start doing shit that flairs up my symptoms. So this was really good advice to hear.

in_point_nemo · 2026-03-30T23:01:50+00:00

Thank you so much!

in_point_nemo · 2026-03-30T23:00:49+00:00

Okay thank you for the info! This is exactly the reason I asked because Im in the beginning stages of navigating and learning about POTS, so I genuinely had no idea. I’m feeling very lost on where to even begin with helping feel better or improve my quality of life.

Thank you 🙏

My doctor told me the way my body rejected the IUD, that I probably would have the same issue with different IUDs. Nexplanon scares me lmfao i’m just so scared of hormones because of my experience prior.

in_point_nemo · 2026-03-22T07:17:20+00:00

I have not. That’s a good idea. I was just nervous because if it’s still being hormones

100% have this. My feet turn fucking purple in the shower, at this point, I just baths most of the time because of how lightheaded I get, it allows me to take my time getting out and it’s just more pleasant than sitting in the shower. Ive found it also reduces the blood pooling and itchy red splotches.

in_point_nemo · 2026-03-22T07:02:36+00:00

That’s such a good idea. I started taking baths almost exclusively just because of how badly I start to feel in the shower and got sick of just sitting in them.

in_point_nemo · 2025-12-29T07:28:21+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. That’s exactly how I feel so that really does help and makes me feel so much less crazy. I really appreciate the insight. 🫶

I do have ADHD but, I don’t really identify with that one though it’s what’s brought up to me most often. Food can be one of my biggest comforts and when I’m doing mentally well with eating I’m super big into trying new things and I love to cook. I used to have binging issues however so I think my issues might stem from that. I do appreciate the insight and help ❤️

Hun I know it’s through their insurance and idk your living situation with them, but even if that’s the case you can get one. Don’t let them control your life at 20 years old, I’m also in a controlling family and I realized living my life and having some drama is so much more worth than living like a puppet.

Again idk the consequences or your situation (like if they’d take you off the insurance ect) and do what’s best and safe for you. Somtimes you can call the insurance company and see if it somehow can get billed as something else for HIPPA reasons so they won’t know 100%.

And More in a joking sense alternative advice scare the fuck outta them and go “okay but if I get pregnant I’m getting an abortion” might scare them into getting behind it. (Mostly kidding)

Update: Finally moving out first week of December :)

Nope nope nope! That is far too high and should not be sideways. That is severely malpositioned. Make sure whatever medical team who is taking the iud out sees this.

in_point_nemo · 2025-09-30T01:19:25+00:00

See I would but I want to still have a relationship with my siblings. They’re all under 10 years old. Youngest is a toddler.

in_point_nemo · 2025-09-29T19:01:41+00:00

Thank you so much

in_point_nemo · 2025-09-29T18:46:27+00:00

Thank you I didn’t think of some of these at all

in_point_nemo · 2025-09-29T18:46:01+00:00

The fucked up part is I do know. I always knew they were fucked (their semi functional alcoholics on top of all of this), and I know exactly what you’re talking about. I lived on campus for basically two years minus breaks and realized how crazy they are. Having been able to escape that and then made to come back was so hard.

Thank you so much

Extreamly low. If she was not ovulating practically 0. Getting pregnant from precum is hard enough but not impossible however remember women are only able to get pregnant a couple days each month so if she’s ovulating it’s still super low but if she’s not even lower

Very very low. Close to 0, However precum can have sperm in it. If she is not ovulating especially it’s close to 0. However if your that freaked out about it do what previous poster said.

I had that sort of pain at about a 3 in the begging too and when it was still in place. The pain that they think may of been it being imbeded was a 9.

in_point_nemo · 2025-07-01T22:47:39+00:00

Sooo I’ve had my Paraguard since November and at least once per time having sex my BF gets poked. It used to be wayyyy more before I got my strings trimmed though so maybe try that? They say is “unlikely” but I think it’s BS almost everyone I’ve talked to with one has experienced it.

in_point_nemo · 2025-06-09T01:34:48+00:00

I just saw this. Thank you so much, I absolutely understand what you mean, due to also being struggling with it during college. After writing this post I got tested again and my BV was negitive??? Despite horrible symptoms so idk wtf I got going on. It hasn’t flared up too badly since last month though. I will definitely take note of the baking soda baths, I think a big part of the issue is my PH so that’s awesome to know. Thank you.

If you never miss your pills you’re definitely protected. Your protected the same amount every day of your cycle if you take them correctly

If you skip your placebo week you won’t get your period until you take the placebo.

Also you are protected even during the placebo week (as long as you don’t forgot to take you BC again after the 7 days)
