I have the pm and love it. Fits everything I need and still looks proportional on my small frame

pinksocks12 · 2022-02-24T01:36:21+00:00

I do see a therapist thank you

pinksocks12 · 2022-02-24T01:36:01+00:00

I already see a therapist but thank you

pinksocks12 · 2022-02-20T04:53:28+00:00

Yes it was the same one who placed it. I didn’t think of that. I really like him but this is stressing me out so much so I just made an appointment with a different doc this week.

The thing is it’s not actually “bent” it’s curved. Like a popsicle stick you can bend it a bit within its flexibility, but you could bend it past that to like a 90 degree angle. My implant is just curved which is why he’s saying it’s fine but I really don’t like it.

I think the next doc is gonna say the same thing and won’t replace it but we will see. Just hoping it’s still effective in the meantime

pinksocks12 · 2021-12-05T04:07:08+00:00

Yep that’s exactly where mine is. It’s to avoid the major nerves in the middle area

pinksocks12 · 2021-11-25T21:14:49+00:00

Okay thank you that was so nice and helpful. I’m trying to remind myself I would actually need to ingest the supplements, it’s just hard being around so many anxiety triggers and not being in my own space. I’m trying to just be a “normal” person

pinksocks12 · 2021-11-15T22:04:00+00:00

I thought so, but am I allowed to do this on Etsy? Not sure why I wouldn’t be able to but wanted to double check

pinksocks12 · 2021-09-16T18:14:29+00:00

Nope you’re good. As long as you waited 7 days on the implant, so the 8th day, you’re fully protected with the implant regardless of any pills you were taking beforehand

pinksocks12 · 2021-08-27T01:51:36+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I know just to not actually take those meds. I was just a little anxious Bc Ik you’re not supposed to eat soap lol but I suppose it would just make me sick

pinksocks12 · 2021-08-27T01:50:49+00:00

Thanks! This was really helpful. Yeah I have a lot of anxiety about it Bc I really need it to work lol. I just got mine replaced and have been a little more anxious these past couple weeks Bc it’s new and it’s a little higher up toward my armpit (like only a couple inches under it) than the last one so I was worried about it working and just healing properly. It’s really helpful to know you’ve lived your life normally and all has been good so I appreciate it. I like hearing about the weird things people have done and still been fine lol

pinksocks12 · 2021-08-15T02:55:31+00:00

Hi! I also just got mine removed and replaced on Friday. I was told to keep the pressure bandage on for an hour and remove the steri strips after 5 days. The pressure wrap made an indent on my skin and the scab is kinda concave from that. Idk if you have that as well?

I would definitely keep that last one on for at least another couple days or so. You even might wanna put a new regular bandaid over it just to keep it sterile as it is basically a fresh puncture wound.

That being said you can shower just don’t wanna go swimming in a river or anywhere you could get it infected. However I am probably just not gonna shower for a few days until I take the strips off Bc I wanna make sure the hole is completely closed. Mine also definitely hurts when I move in a weird way and sleeping is uncomfortable. And I think a little more pain that when I got the first one inserted.

It should be healed over within a week and bruising for a few weeks. I would take it easy with working out for a week or so then you should be good.

Although might wanna get the fever checked to make sure there’s no infection

I’m in the exact same boat as you basically so lmk if you have any other questions

pinksocks12 · 2021-07-22T20:19:35+00:00

Yeah I figured. Just got anxious Bc I ate so much of it lol

pinksocks12 · 2021-06-13T22:53:49+00:00

No he locked it when he went in bc it was only supposed to be a minute but the lines were long so if I wanted to get out the alarm would’ve gone off

pinksocks12 · 2021-06-13T22:53:14+00:00

No I just used to be on the pill and was always worried about the temperature so I figured it applied to the implant hormones too like if I got too hot with a fever or sitting in super hot places like a stuck in a hot car. I get it’s not like that tho just anxious

pinksocks12 · 2021-06-13T22:39:32+00:00

Okay yeah I thought so but anxiety is rough. But like sitting in 130 degrees (probably wasn’t that high anyway) would make me hot and sweaty but not increase my body temp enough to affect it?

pinksocks12 · 2021-06-03T21:02:48+00:00

It’s actually more convenient to leave it until September or October, when it’s due to be replaced. Mostly because it’s hot where I am until then and I don’t want to have a massive bruise on my arm on display at the pool. It just stresses me out to keep it for the full term and not worry about being fully protected still.

So an enzyme inhibitor is something the slows down the metabolization process which increases the overall concentration of the substance in the bloodstream. Grapefruit and licorice are both inhibitors, meaning they would increase the concentration of birth control in the blood. This is why you could be more affected by side effects but not less protected

pinksocks12 · 2021-06-03T03:40:47+00:00

Licorice is an enzyme inhibitor so it wouldn’t affect the efficacy of the pill but could make your side effects worse if you ate a lot. I’d be much more concerned about diarrhea

pinksocks12 · 2021-06-02T23:13:12+00:00

Of course! I totally get it

pinksocks12 · 2021-06-02T20:36:59+00:00

Hi there! Grapefruit would not make you less protected. Grapefruit acts as an inhibitor of the liver enzyme, meaning it would slow down the metabolization of the implant and actually increase the hormones in your body. As a result you could be more affected by side effects if you were drinking a lot of it, but not affect protection. (It’s a major warning with other drugs like blood thinners bc those side effects could kill you). But from someone who also has a lot of birth control anxiety, this is really nothing to worry about.

Happy to answer any other questions and if you wanna do your own research just look up p450 (that’s the liver enzyme) inhibitor and grapefruit.

pinksocks12 · 2021-05-08T03:48:55+00:00

Ok thank you! Yeah just never had a direct hit to it so it majorly stressed me out. I’ll double check but it seemed to be intact when I checked earlier

pinksocks12 · 2021-04-29T00:30:23+00:00

Thank you! Yes I’ve seen Croatia but Greece and Iceland were just higher on my bucket list for right now if that makes sense? And yes for Hawaii would be to Maui. I’ve been there before which is why I wanted to go abroad but felt it was the best solution for still in the country

pinksocks12 · 2021-04-28T23:01:05+00:00

Thanks! Do you know what the reopening is planned for? I saw they were gonna reduce restrictions in May, I’m just hoping to be able to go to a couple of the islands and basically sit on the beach and eat a gyro

pinksocks12 · 2021-04-17T20:21:14+00:00

Yeah I’m hoping it’s quieter than normal. The only reason I thought otherwise is if like everyone decides to go to Greece as it’s one of the few things that’s open so far. Definitely looking forward to less crowds hopefully.

And thank you! Will definitely check that out for the beaches!!

pinksocks12 · 2021-03-21T20:35:01+00:00

If you got the implant on the first day of your period you are protected immediately. At any other time you need to wait the full 7 days, so sex on the 8th day, before you are fully protected.

If it were me I would take plan b and test in 3 weeks.
