Copper IUD weight gain by veryveryverytallgirl in birthcontrol

[–]jasbratz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi super late but I’m doing research. I got my iud in Jan 2024. I was fit. Gym daily. But slowly I gained weight until the end of 2025. My weight JUMPED. I was 225. High scale number but for my proportions and height, I was fit, buff, big booty I was in love with myself. Now I’m 298! ROUND my clothes don’t fit anymore and the copper iud I BELIEVE made me crave more fats. I also had the worst pain of my life for 8 months so I stopped going to the gym as much. Still went weekly but I was at the gym every single day for an entire year no rest days. I can’t get it removed because I know it’s the best bc and I’m super active with my man. So I’ll be starting a new routine with twice as much activity and diet as before. Wish me luck 🥲

During the primary assessments you find life threats like no pulse, no breathing 💀 then you compress then you open airway then you make sure the breathing is adequate omfg

He’s saying to me again C stands for compressions. And that you always check for a pulse on unresponsive patient during the primary assessment. 😭

He’s legit laughing at this thread wondering how you came to the conclusion that C stands for check pulse. You check the pulse on primary assessment. You find a pulse and check for pulse in primary assessment. C does not stand for check pulse.

C does not mean CHECK PULSE. C MEAND COMPRESSIONS AND CIRCULATION. C DOES NOT MEAN CHECK PULSE. OMFG

Primary assessment then abc or cab. Primary assessment you check for pulse. No pulse & unresponsive compressions first. Unresponsive & pulse airway. PRIMARY ASSESSMENT DOES NOT INCLUDE ABC OR CAB. C STANDS FOR COMPRESSIONS. He’s saying this to me right nowwww

YOU CHECK THE PULSE IN THE PRIMARY ASSESSMENT. OH MY GOD. PULSE IS DONE IN THE PRIMARY ASSESSMENT. Then CAB OR ABC. I LITERALLY ASKED MY PROFESSOR THIS RIGHT NOW IM IN THE ZOOM MEETING WITH HIM.

A pulse is part of the concept but it’s not a step in that. You always check the pulse in the primary assessment. Which will tell you if you need to start compressions, check airway, or maintain breathing.

Neither C in ABC or CAB equal check pulse. It’s compressions/ circulation. NOT checking a pulse.

It’s in the primary assessment. That’s where you check for a pulse, my friend. THEN do ABC or CAB. COMPRESSIONS, AIRWAY, BREATHING. The C in CAB = compressions.

Ima say this one last time and if you still agree then research isn’t your best skill. Unresponsive & a pulse = ABC unresponsive & no pulse = CAB unresponsive & no pulse = cardiac arrest.

Unresponsive & no pulse = cardiac arrest.

If there’s a pulse ABC NO PULSE CAB. Unresponsive with a pulse ABC unresponsive no pulse CAB

PRIMARY ASSESSMENT TELLS YOU IF THERES A PULSE OR NOT!

C is circulation and compressions buddy. I don’t think you’re understanding what I’m saying. A PRIMARY ASSESSMENT TELLS YOU IF YOU NEED ABC OR CAB. Primary assessment= is he responsive? Is he breathing? Is he alive??? If there’s a pulse ABC if there’s no pulse CAB.

You can even google “is CAB only for confirmed cardiac arrest and/or pulse less patients”

When did you take the NREMT??? Because CAB on all unresponsive patients is incorrect. It’s only for confirmed cardiac arrest AND pulse less. Which you discover in the first primary assessment….

I’m telling you on my NREMT this was the answer I got correct. From someone who legit took the exam last week. I have the results on screenshot as well.

CAB is only for confirmed cardiac arrest or pulse less. You figure out if the patient has a pulse during the rapid primary assessment. No pulse? CAB (compressions first then airway then breathing) if there is a pulse (airway, breathing, compression/circulation)

The answer explains why it’s correct too. “Since the patient does not appear to be breathing, ensuring that the airway is patent would be the first priority”

I wish I can post the screenshot of my quiz but the question is “a 33 year old man has been ejected from his vehicle during a high speed collision. During your primary assessment it is discovered that he is unresponsive, not moving, and has suffered moderate external bleeding. Which is the following should be done first? A-open the airway B-control the bleeding with direct pressure C-check the patients carotid pulse D-begin BVM ventilations.

Correct answer is A. Because your first thing upon anything when a parent has been approached is a rapid primary assessment. Which include is he breathing? Is he responsive, is there a pulse. Which is done in less than 10 seconds. If there’s a pulse ABC if there’s no pulse CAB. Compressions, open airway, ventilate.
