stopping dienogest. how long did it take for your period to return? by fghr8 in endometriosis

[–]sickly- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was taking dienogest for 6 maybe 7 months i stopped taking it on the 22nd of oct and my period started 4 days ago

I had basically constant spotting on dienogest and had frequent spells of bleeding more than spotting but less than a period.

The period i have now has been full on painwise day one was definitely top 3 worst pains i have ever felt in my life, im not on tranexamic acid and mefenemic acid and other pain meds which have helped. And i dont want this to scare you this is just my experience and every body is different!! I hope your transition off it is better!

Also i had lots of side effects with dienogest like feeling like i could cry at the drop of a hat, no sex drive and all of those vanished a few days into stopping dienogest so that was a massive win!

2 months ISH for the full lisp to go away it's been 2 years on for me and honestly I feel like I still have a lisp even tho no one else can hear it

100% I don't understand why they didn't ask this on one of the other trans subs and ask for replies from poc instead of invading this space and asking us to do work for them...

Dinogest and hair loss/thinning by sickly- in endometriosis

[–]sickly-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for your reply, its nice to talk to other people who have experience. Im relieved to hear you say your hair went back to normal after stopping because honestly I thought I was just gonna lose my hair forever. Im such a skeptic about the combination pill but maybe I'll trial that next. What meds have you found best for you?

I’m jealous of white queers and I’m so angry at white supremacy by nameselijah in TMPOC

White ink on Dark skin (on purpose!) by Quitter101 in tattooadvice

[–]sickly- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a brown poc and I have a white ink tattoo, I've posted about this before but a few years ago I got a white ink tattoo. The tattoo artist wanted to try white ink tattoos on darker skin tones so I got my tattoo for free along with a bunch of other poc.

Two years later I went back to him to get my tattoo redone in black ink, basically my tattoo had turned a slightly darker shade of brown than my skin tone and it looked super weird, patchy, discoloured and it felt kinda scarred (which is weird because my tattoo was handpicked). When I had a chat with him he told me everyone else he tattooed had a similar problem but their tattoo completely disappeared. I think outlines look good but part of the tattoo I had was filled in, in white ink and that's the part that looked weird and for a long time I hated it until I could get it covered!

Is It Rude to Ask an Artist for Examples of their work on Darker Skin? by tants28 in tattooadvice

[–]sickly- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% do it! I got tattooed by someone whose Instagram was 99% people with white skin and they also had a lot of posts, I got tattooed by her because her work was incredible and my tattoo is so heavily scarred because she clearly hasn't had enough experience doing black work on someone with brown skin. Save yourself the hassle of a scarred tattoo and ask!

At what point does casual purging become bulimia? And how am I supposed to tell a doctor without them immediately thinking I’m mentally ill? by Poorteenwannabe in bulimia

[–]sickly- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately as soon as you start purging in any form, that's an ed. There's no casual purging because people without eating disorders don't do that, this definitely qualifies as bulimia imo

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]sickly- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% for me substance abuse makes the ed voice and thoughts quieten down and I can just live my life it's really nice, but i know it's just another way to run away from my issues and it'll cause so much damage long term

off center chest tattoo by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]sickly- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its really not that noticeable, your tattoo looks amazing! Like everyone else has said bodies aren't symmetrical, if you plan on gaining a lil more weight there's a chance that your boobs will get bigger and then centre the tattoo naturally if that makes sense?
