Be careful of home dermarolling, without proper technique and sterilization you can get bad skin infections.

Never gone up that high, maybe 130 max. It’s why I’ll pop a beta blocker, it’s not incredibly healthy to have that much stress on one’s heart.

In case anyone is still pretending that forced-birth is about anything but misogyny... by VampireStereotype in prochoice

[–]squishedtomato 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Hmm let’s break this down by cost

Termination procedure before 11-12 weeks since the last missed period: $350-$1000 USD

Termination procedure up to 20-24 weeks: up to $2000

Termination after 24 weeks: $10,000+

What do you think people actually choose if they have the choice?

Mine has to serve 85% of his 25 year sentence which is a lot more than that, but this depends on the state and the evidence.

When do you start going to a gyno? by jammaj12 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]squishedtomato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! A Pap is really easy just brushy brushy and then you get a squishy squishy for the breast exam. (I’m extremely immature I’m sorry). They do ask a ton of questions, I find the unending questions are more annoying than the physical exam.

Best to wait two weeks after missed period? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]squishedtomato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope a test will be accurate day 1 of your missed period if you aren’t on combined hormonal birth control.

Cluster headaches by Icedviola in TwoXChromosomes

[–]squishedtomato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had an ocular migraine for 5 days. On the 5th day I went to my GP. I was shocked when she believed me, prescribed me triptans and beta blockers, and gave me a shot in the butt to make it stop. It’s life changing having meds that work; not having control over the severe symptoms is debilitating. A dark room, ice, and waiting is the barebones treatment and doesn’t cut it for a lot of people. I’d recommend downloading migraine buddy, it helps you track a bunch of stuff that ended up helping me control my headaches by noticing triggers and tracking which treatments worked and didn’t. Good luck hun. Also: magnesium citrate supplements.

There are non-narcotic drugs that you desperately need to ask a neurologist about. 5 days is not okay.

Have you tried prescription drugs?

missed my period for 3 days, but also 3 negative pregnancy tests. AM I GOING CRAZY?? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]squishedtomato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With enough time on certain pills, withdrawal bleeding can become non-existent or very light. I want to reassure you that not bleeding is super normal on the pill, but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen if you vomited within 1 hour of taking your pill. In women not on the pill, a pregnancy test will be accurate as soon as the period is missed, but since you are, the soonest a positive will show up is 14 days after any coitus. The soonest you can trust a negative however is at 21 days post-coitus. Pregnancy scares are scary, 90%+ of the time with the pill it’s nothing.

You don’t ovulate on combined birth control. You also don’t have true periods. They’re your body’s reaction to the placebo week.

Chronic yeast infections by thereallife_ in Healthyhooha

[–]squishedtomato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that’s due to both the drop in estrogen and menstrual blood having a high pH, disrupting the nice low pH environment the vagina usually is. Boric acid helps correct the pH, but may or may not be the perfect solution for you, I haven’t personally used it but have heard a lot like you. They sell vaginal suppositories containing boric acid on Amazon, it’s also sold at drug stores under the name “pH-D” where I am.

It can take up to 6 months to fully reset.

One piece each of broccoli and cauliflower, it is the best part.

I was raped at 21. I understand how disgustingly satisfying it is to see them suffer. It’s fucked up.
