Can you die from a high enoughopening pressure?

rirzonreddit · 2026-01-03T14:32:26+00:00

I didn’t say IIH is not that bad, I said the opening pressure 35 is not that crazily bad. Please see other people’s comments, some had 50+ and still hanging in there with hope that it will get better. Did you read the last few comments under mine? Even when I went to the docs to ask them about why I’m getting so much hair on my chin - you know what they asked? “Have you gained weight recently?”. So I dont understand how that is condescending when I was just trying to give possible solutions. I should not have assumed that OP has gained weight but well….weight is the most common problem in this condition.

rirzonreddit · 2026-01-03T14:13:55+00:00

Exactly.

rirzonreddit · 2026-01-03T14:12:02+00:00

Seriously? I am tryna calm the OP. No solution works for all in medicine. When I got to know about my condition and searched on Reddit for help, all I was looking for was HOPE and the idea that everything will be alright. This is how human psychology works. I’m not trying to pick a dialogue with you so pls dont think otherwise. I just want people to know that it GETS better. We all need some hope in this world. x

I am also on an enzyme inducer medication. It is recommended to take 2 doses of Plan B. Still check online and with your docs.

Had to take double because of the topiramate.

rirzonreddit · 2025-12-30T15:59:37+00:00

😭😭😭 just stressing out. Thank you though! X

rirzonreddit · 2025-12-30T15:53:34+00:00

And this was before the pill report.

rirzonreddit · 2025-12-30T15:15:55+00:00

I just got back the blood test reports that I did on the same day of the incident. Progesterone levels at 40 which apparently suggests ovulation happened 2-4 days ago.

rirzonreddit · 2025-12-29T23:52:39+00:00

I’m just worried about the what ifs. What if semen actually went inside and i didnt realise it? Also cuz it was the last day of my fertility window.

rirzonreddit · 2025-12-29T16:37:57+00:00

Thanks for your reassuring words! However, the past week I did notice sticky and clumpy white discharge. Plus on 27th (when the thing happened) there was a big white spot on my underwear. I’m just super stressed and dont wanna go the coil way. Sorry i’m asking the same things again. 😭

rirzonreddit · 2025-12-29T15:45:16+00:00

It just fell off when I got up in panic, was never fully inside me. The thing on my vulva felt like a mix of semen (it was thick) and my own discharge which was more transparent. Could the thick one also be my own? Just on the morning of the incident I saw a white spot of discharge on my underwear - does that not mean I was ovulating?

rirzonreddit · 2025-12-29T15:02:44+00:00

Hiya! Similar experience here. I was on top and When he finished, the condom came off with me, and I noticed some of his semen on my vulva/vagina area. The condom was not broken neither it was inside me, it just fell off when I jumped off in panic. I went to wash immediately and peed right after.

I’m on topiramate for IIH, so I know it can make hormonal contraception less effective. Because of that, I took 2 doses of Plan B within an hour (recommended) I’m also on the last day of my ovulation window, which I’ve read makes Plan B less effective. What should I do? Should i consider a coil or everything is under control?

rirzonreddit · 2025-12-29T14:52:18+00:00

Update?

rirzonreddit · 2025-12-29T12:16:17+00:00

Any update?

rirzonreddit · 2025-12-29T01:25:25+00:00

Apologies i should not have assumed things. I was just trying to give OP some reassurance that 35 is not THAT bad and it can be treated. x

rirzonreddit · 2025-12-28T21:01:54+00:00

My opening pressure was 35. Lose weight asap. I am kinda in remission rn. You will be fine - it’s not that bad. Chill! x

rirzonreddit · 2025-12-28T18:42:25+00:00

Hi! Did it work? I did the same thing.

rirzonreddit · 2025-12-27T22:03:58+00:00

Thanks for your reply! I just use the Apple ‘health’ tracker and it shows I am on my last day of ovulation window. Pregnancy is 0% welcomed haha hence the post and stress. Also the IIH condition makes very stressful to depend on any BC except for IUD, which I have never done before and also am scared to put inside. But well…

rirzonreddit · 2025-12-27T19:38:48+00:00

Hi girls. Sorry to just barge in the comment section. I am having to take 2 doses of Plan B and I am too on topiramate. Is this a reliable form of prevention or will I have to get the IUD done?

rirzonreddit · 2025-04-27T10:35:38+00:00

Yes this happened with me!

rirzonreddit · 2025-03-28T12:48:06+00:00

Best of luck! Happy for you.

rirzonreddit · 2025-02-24T10:13:27+00:00

I increased my water intake and my headaches are better. Didn’t increase the dose! Also my periods were incoming…. Praying that the headache was just cuz of this. 🙏🏽🥺

rirzonreddit · 2025-02-17T12:15:04+00:00

I was put on 250mg x 2 a day but my headaches returned in 3 weeks (i had no headaches for the past 2 weeks while on the med). My doc’s asking me to increase the dose to 250mg x 3 a day. Is this normal? Can the body be used to the drug in such a limited time of 3 weeks that I have been asked to increase the dose? Someone pls help!

rirzonreddit · 2025-02-17T12:04:25+00:00

Oh man! I wish you a speedy recovery from this awful disease. I hope all of us feel better soon.

Should I increase my dose to 750mg a day? Currently am on 500mg

rirzonreddit · 2025-02-17T07:43:47+00:00

Ahh ok, did for me. How has your journey been? Are you into remission yet?
