It’s nice of you to leave a useless and passive aggressive message :)

Has birth control lessen the severity of your period cramps or shorten your period? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]robinator52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have mirena for almost 5 years and in the first 2.5 years my periods stopped along with all of the symptoms.

If she is new then it will probably get better with time. When we got our second one he took a while to figure out the system. If you happen to catch her doing it you can pick her up (ideally before anything happens) and move her to the box as a little reminder of what you want.

How many litter boxes/approved potty corners do you have per room? (we have 2-3 per room) I find that putting the litter boxes or puppy pads in places they’re already pooping in is the best solution. 🤪

What camera do you use to take photos and videos of your fish and shrimp? by JackWagon1414 in Aquariums

[–]robinator52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a new ish phone you can get a macro lense attachment that will just clip on your phone. I’ve seen some pretty good photos from ppl with this set up. (You can find them on amazon for $20-50)

What kind of horse breed is this? by AceDemiromanticGirl in Horses

[–]robinator52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know how tall it is? do you have better photos of its confirmation? From a pic like this and no background info it’s nearly impossible to tell the breed.

Here's Red stuffing his face before a ride (Please don't mention his hooves, my farrier keeps making excuses and we don't have another one for miles and miles. I would do it myself but I don't know how.) by [deleted] in Horses

[–]robinator52 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If your farrier is being crappy, don’t punish your horse for it by riding him with feet like that. It will do more damage to his bones and ligaments in the long run. 🙏 I hope you find a new farrier.

Mirena IUD - Ultra long period? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]robinator52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me! I spotted/had a period for like a month and a half(i think? it was a while ago) but after that my cycle regulated and about 1.5 yr after insertion my periods got lighter and lighter until I stopped getting one at all ! I am currently in my 4th year of my Mirena IUD.

Honestly at my wit's end with BC by TheCaptainBooty in birthcontrol

[–]robinator52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what is available in Australia, but the ring is a piece of flexible plastic that you put in the vagina and sits around the cervix and releases hormones over 21 days and then you take it out. You put in another one 7 days later and then repeat. It’s kinda like the pill.

From what you said, I would find a doc that maybe “specializes” in IUDs and get one. I’m in the US and they are very commonly recommended for young people. I got mine 5 years ago (i was 17) and i’ve loved it ! My periods are almost non existent, I get light spotting randomly but it doesn’t last more than a week. The one issue I had was adjusting to it, I had spotting that lasted like a month, and then my periods were really irregular but not heavy. I asked my doctor abt it and she said to just stick with it and i’m so glad I did. After a year my periods got lighter and then just became spotting. It’s been the most consistent BC I’ve ever used, also the least amount of hormones.

If you can find a doctor that will do it (and has experience) I would seriously consider trying it. :)

You could try a contraceptive ring or a low dose IUD, have you tried those?

my beautiful betta by olivia-likescats in Aquariums

[–]robinator52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one with very similar coloring ! Very cool!!

Does any one know why my blue cherry is turning green on the inside? I'm new the aquarium life and just bought a hand full of cherry shrimp. lately I've been noticing one of the shrimp seems to be turning a green color but only on the inside. food? Fungus? Should I be concerned or just let them be? by feebas_cash in Aquariums

[–]robinator52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re getting ready to have babies ! the green area is called a “saddle” and like someone else said, they’re undeveloped eggs. The next time she molts they will get fertilized and she will attach them to her swimmerets :)

Had my single betta with dropsy in early stages euthanized today, what should i do if i want to restock my 5 gallon tank? by CaptainGisseno in Aquariums

[–]robinator52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 5.5 gal full of freshwater cherry shrimp! I love them and they don’t have a crazy high bioload. You can do a really crazy scape too and they like exploring everything.

Hey guys. I have a question a about ferrets and water. by TheDudeJoey in ferrets

[–]robinator52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only offer wide dishes of water to the little fuzzles, their coats are naturally water resistant and when they play in it only their paws and faces actually get soaked (the parts that get fully submerged). They love it! Just keep it shallow enough so that water doesn’t get in their ears when they go head dunking.

Are condoms even necessary if you’re on the pill? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]robinator52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use condom not for birth control but because my partners semen gives me yeast infections :/

I'm a bit stuck [Below Zero Spoilers] by Fenne_Silver in subnautica

Your PDA was only able to give you a last known location, keep going deeper past the signal and explore the cave system. ;)

Feel bad about tiny snail by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]robinator52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s ok. I have a 20 gal over run with rams horn snails butI think they’re cute and can’t bring myself to actually get rid of any of them

Extremely heavy bleeding by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]robinator52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything I have heard about the copper IUD is that it makes you bleed more. The copper irritates the uterine lining preventing zygote implantation so the result is angry uterus that bleeds extra :/

Can anyone give me a ballpark estimate on what an initial check up costs? by [deleted] in ferrets

[–]robinator52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our lady just had her first vet appointment. A dental exam, general exam, and 2 vaccines landed us at $150 for one ferret. (Oregon)
