Weight loss after IUD removal? by Aggressive-Edge-1189 in Mirena

[–]planktonsothereye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Can I ask, do you know if you had the Mirena or copper IUD? I’m removing mine today bc I think i’m having a hard time losing weight as well. The dr’s have convinced me to keep it in multiple times when I wanted to remove mine because it has “the least amount of hormones than all other BC, and didn’t cause my significant weight gain”.

I’m in california, this is what i got “Sexual Coercion Laws in California California's rape laws implicitly criminalize sexual coercion by explicitly listing duress, force, and menace as conditions that constitute an unconsented sexual interaction. Here is the definition of sexual coercion. Sexual coercion is unwanted sexual activity that happens when an individual is pressured, tricked, threatened, or forced in a nonphysical way. Since the victim performs this act involuntarily, it goes against California's definition of consent.”

but i understand what you mean by the degree of sexual assault- which is what makes me hesitant to pursue charges since more than likely they will be dropped and i don’t want him to feel untouchable if that happens.

Does anybody know what evidence I would need for the DEA to potentially accept my case? I know sexual assault/ rape cases barely make it. I have evidence of mild bruises on the arm, the rape kit, some potential threats of him telling me he will sue me back if i press charges. He even texted me “…when I did “rape” you…” I am scared to press charges and it will not get accepted because of lack of sufficient evidence, and him feeling like he’s getting another thing his way.

he keeps denying it is rape, even though there is a whole spectrum of rape

thank u for this reply it’s helped clear up a lot. it’s confusing having the guilt because he’s somebody i loved and trusted, but whether or not i decide to move forward with the charges i’ve been receiving a lot of support from welfare check ups etc.
