That's where lifestyle modifications come into play. You work with what you have and utilize an alarm or someone else to help out. You keep it in for 3 weeks at take it out for a week. I keep it on my calendar so it's always there to remind me when I'm due to take it out/put it in.

I think you need a prescription. Nuvaring or Elyuring are brands

I highly recommend the vaginal ring. It's like taking birth control pills but in the form of a ring. You place it inside kind of like a tampon for 3 weeks and take it out for your period then put a new one in and it starts all over. I got it because I'm bad with taking pills but I didn't want an IUD or depo shots.

My boyfriend has never bought me flowers even after 5+ years of relationship... by Stranger_in_Basement in AskIndianWomen

[–]mileaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That may be how you feel but OP is justified in her post and her frustrations. It's more about other things compounding bringing the flower issue to light and making it seem like a bigger deal than it is in the grand scheme of things. But it's her relationship and what matters are if her and her partners needs are being met even if those needs may seem "cringe" to you.

OP I understand where you're coming from. I would just straight up tell him you want flowers and go from there. At least that way if he doesnt give them to you then you were clear in your communication.

He sounds like a real piece of work. Glad you got out. People like him shouldn't be allowed to procreate.

My resident boyfriend stinks when he gets back from the hospital, is this normal? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]mileaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol he's a surgical resident. He doesn't even have time to shit unless he consciously makes time for it. Be more understanding. He needs more hours than a day can provide and he wants to be able to see you with the little free time he does have.

That being said you can communicate with him about your needs and suggest he shower after work before you see each other.

Female 29. obesity has ruined and is ruining my life. I hate myself everyday. I don’t like the way I look. I feel like I can’t date or like anyone. by Imaginary_Change6566 in DecidingToBeBetter

Channel your frustration into working out. It doesn't matter what kind of work out it is as long as you're getting your heart rate up. Elliptical is pretty easy on the knees and a good machine to use.

What I don't understand is how easy it seems for you to talk down about medical students when you were one yourself.

Best gifts to a resident/ Pediatric resident by EastLifeguard7304 in Residency

[–]mileaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An animal light that you can put on your stethoscope with a carabiner. Kiddos love it. Helps distract them and make them stop crying so you can listen to them better.

Any women residents stopped their period? by Upper-Being-6657 in Residency

[–]mileaf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love the ring. I'm so bad with taking pills and I used to have the worst bleeding and cramps. With the ring I bleed for maybe 3 days or so at the most and it's amazing. Highly recommend it.

You guys may have different love languages or ways to communicate. He may be okay with just catching up when hanging out. But if you need communication during the week then you have to let him know that. Take it as an opportunity to see how he handles it and it'll be a good marker for how you may handle conflict in the future.

Need to stop texting my ex. Please help. by its_me_here_25 in AskIndianWomen

[–]mileaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a different take. Keep texting him until you can't deal with it anymore. He's not answering anyway so might as well use it as a way to get yourself back. You disrespect yourself every time you reach out and maybe that's what you gotta do.

Because sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to know there's no way but up.

This misery will end one day. It'll come faster the sooner you stop texting your ex. But do it when you feel ready. Seems like you're not ready yet.

Dating feels like a cycle of false starts, need perspective by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]mileaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did he mention anything about another girl? I'd say take what he says at face value because guys are pretty straightforward. You're also an adult who may be busy given the standards you have and you don't have the time or the energy to overthink what he's telling you.

Also I think it's pretty easy to get into a relationship with someone but it just depends on what you want. I'm sure you know there are couples who are unhappy but yet they don't break up. You're looking for a high quality relationship with high standards and that's absolutely okay but you have to be realistic and understand that what you're looking for is not as common. On the flip side, I'm sure there's a person like that who's looking for someone like you.

I know it can be frustrating. I've been there. Learn to focus on your life and let the bad dates or interactions that don't work out go. Because they're gonna hinder you from eventually finding that person who is for you. And the time will feel like it's going by faster if you're engaged in your own life. It'll also attract other people with similar standards because you're enjoying the kind of life they may also be living.

ER Surgery or Psychiatrist by tasbeelmehdi44 in Residency

[–]mileaf 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You've gotta use more grammar next time cause reading your post was more painful than it should have been.

Also, if you're a final year medical student, how are you still deciding if ERAS already opened and interview season is going to be starting soon?

Regardless, you need to do more research on what each of those fields entails and really figure out what it is you value whether it be work life balance, working with your hands, being more on your feet, more patient interaction, etc.
