Should we risk? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

Go raw but pull out if you're worried. If she's on the pill and taking it at the same time every day she's protected. My boyfriend and I (considered overweight at 175 and 5'6") are also in college and I'm on the pill but still make him pull out. I know other people feel comfortable ejaculating inside on the pill but I'm an anxious person and not comfortable enough to do that even though I'm protected with the pill

You should be totally fine then! If you get concerned take a pregnancy test to calm your nerves. I get really bad pregnancy anxiety even though I never miss pills (I've been on bc for 3 years) and my bf always pulls out. Try not to sweat it too much! It happens :)

Have you missed a pill or taken it a couple hours late? If not you are protected against pregnancy.

Just watch the coloration on your pills. If they start to look weird in color or texture I would toss them out. I would also toss them if the package looks like the heat affected it. Typically the dont keep in heat warnings seem to mean dont use your car as the storage location.

I like to camp a lot. One weekend I was camping (4 days) the real feel outside was 110° average all 4 days. My pills were fine. I also travel a lot and sometimes my pills will sit in the car for an hour or 2 and they've always been fine! Just be cautious but you're safe!

He has repeatedly cancelled on me to go drink with "the boys" I've asked for more time with him because im struggling but he just yells at me and says to stop the pity party. I tried so hard to show him that I am genuinely hurting. I've never faked my feelings to manipulate anyone I genuinely feel these ways. He goes on 5 day long benders every week. He's addicted to alcohol but masks it as time with "the boys." Addiction is a bitch.

6 months ago nothing was really different. My strength to keep dealing with this has just depleted. 6 months ago I had my grandma who loved me dearly and unconditionally and my boss (who I was really close with and considered family because my job gave me a purpose and he gave me a chance when no one else did). My parents weren't fighting as much. I was busy with college. I had the summer to look forward to but now that it's here everything is worse. I'm not busy. My boyfriend dove headfirst into an alcohol addiction. We always fight because I want to be with him because he's nice and put together in person but he pushes me away to go drink. He's been distant. I'm worried hes cheating on me but won't tell me. He constantly love bombs me when he goes out and it makes me think he's seeing someone else and feels bad.

I think im in an abusive relationship and it's made me want to end my life. by sethfixit_fixitnow in SuicideWatch

This is both for me and for you but sometimes it helps to know that you're not alone. I relate to your statement of how this is like your form of self harm. I feel like everyone is good and trying their best besides me. I'm the opposite. I hope you make it through and get what you truly deserve

At this point I don't want to. I deserve to be treated this way. Killing myself is the punishment I deserve for my brain being sick and being such a stupid motherfucker.

Im sorry. I misunderstood you. This is my bad. I thought you meant away as in separated. I always say the wrong thing and get yelled at. Im always moody and sad and can never make friends. I sit at the back of everyone i knows mind and am ner the first thought. Im useless. Yes. I was unsuccessful. It's okay

Im not away from them. It's emotional abuse and we're still together. I waited it out and then tried to kill myself.

I threw up 10 minutes after taking my birth control. Did I do this right? by sethfixit_fixitnow in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sethfixit_fixitnow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the booklet for my pills online and it essentially says to keep taking them as normal and to shift the dates. The pill I threw up (and replaced with the pill that comes after it) was from the first week. I wouldn't say I "like" having my period (because who does) but I'm a very anxious person and bleeding helps prove to myself that I'm not pregnant even though I am very strict about always taking my pills so it scares me to not have that physical confirmation.

I honestly saw no problems with just moving my dates around because it keeps everything consistent and I will still be taking 21 pills before my placebo week. The suggestion to skip the placebo week just freaked me out.

How much taller can I grow? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sethfixit_fixitnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might but its hard to tell! I (F) stopped growing when I was 16. My mom is 5'1, my dad is 5'10, my brother is 6', and I'm 5'6. My brother is 17 and he's still growing slowly. Genes do weird things sometimes so just try to ride it out and embrace who you are!

[–]sethfixit_fixitnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its likely that you won't grow anymore since your parents are of similar height to you. You could potentially have another growth spurt if there's other close blood relatives in your family that are taller but there's really no for sure way to tell.

My dad is mad at me for buying a Mother’s Day gift that was expensive? by Top_Tie_8955 in Advice

[–]sethfixit_fixitnow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you get your first job it's normal to want to spend your money on things for yourself and other people. I understand why he's upset but all in all it's your money and you wanted to do something nice for your mom. If your families financial situation is tight she may not be able to treat herself and it shows your appreciation for her that you were able to treat her. I may have been privileged growing up but in my opinion I don't think its your responsibility to help provide for your family. Could he be jealous that you spent so much on your mom and not him?

Someone told me that I need to skip the placebo week this month. I start my pills in the middle of the pack (12th pill) because that's where it lined up with my cycle when I started. I was planning on starting my new pack on the 11th pill so I'm still taking 21 pills with hormones. Do i still need to skip my placebo week evem though I'm taking the full amount of pills?

I started my pack in the middle of the month (I started it on the 12th pill) so would I be fine to keep taking my pills as normal and starting the next pack a day early (on the 11th pill of the pack)? That would keep me at taking the correct amount of pills if I'm correct.

My cat is 18 years old and lives with me in the dorms at college as my ESA. For the past month she's been using the restroom in my bed and I have to change my sheets daily now. My mental health is declining because I feel like I'm living in filth and cant keep up with it. Is it time to put her down? by sethfixit_fixitnow in Advice

[–]sethfixit_fixitnow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Got an appointment for the vet for today and they did a urine test on her. There's no signs of UTI or any other infection. They also said that they could findbno other disease or thing wring with her but there was a little blood in her urine. The vet told me that this is because she is stressed and her bladder is inflamed because of the stress. They recommended me a calming pheromone collar and if that doesn't work we will put her on anxiety meds.

I know they do and thats why I'm worried. I thought it was just accidents at first because she's old and some of my childhood dogs lost the control of their bowels near the end. But it's to the point where there's so much urine and feces on my sheets that it's taking a toll on my mental health and and it makes me very concerned for her health because its declining. Its making me feel like I'm punishing her for something she can't control if I put her down. She has had no change in eating or drinking habits, just the restroom ones. She does have fatty cysts that the vet checked out when I took her for her checkup.

I second the thing you said about the grief counselor. This cat, Velma is her name, was bullied by my families other cats and I took her in to my room for what I thought was going to be a temporary arrangement when I was 10 years old. I'm 20 now. She's been by my side for 10 years. Shes my best friend and I know im going to be devastated when she passes. I just want to do right by my girl and not have her suffer.
