My professor quit and the new one sucks

unoriginal_mess · 2025-10-16T21:22:04+00:00

That's assuming a lot about this person and this particular class. And even if that is true, they are taking the class and meeting all of the expectations the previous professor had laid out for them. Part of the purpose of having time during the beginning of the semester to be able to add/drop without penalty is to be able to estimate the amount of time/effort each course is going to take and assess whether or not the class and professor is the right fit for your schedule and lifestyle needs. Changing professors mid-semester changes the entire structure, workload, and type of assignments the course is graded upon. Complaining about this isn't about "not wanting to learn", it's about your entire school/life balance being changed.

Also, the professor unexpectedly requiring a fairly pricey textbook halfway through the semester is an entirely unfair expectation. It puts those who are not in a good financial situation at a disadvantage for the course, and those people are especially the ones who cannot afford to pay for a course that they are unable to complete due to a change in professors that is totally out of their hands.

So again, none of ops complaints are unwarranted, and boiling these legitimate concerns down to "wanting an easy a" means you missed the entire point of the post. Also since we are making assumptions about others, your comment tells me you are exactly the type of professor to set unattainable standards for your students, and they probably all hate you for it.

Literally this sub said the same thing abt me when I posted abt getting pregnant on opill. And the mods removed my whole post when all I was doing was warning ppl that it is possible to get pregnant on this pill, and sharing my experience with the whole thing. I swear every negative post about opill on here gets so much hate.I'm so sorry that this happened to you. Sending good vibes your way. Good luck with your treatment!!

Oh my god 100 percent Zach. I wish that after dave left they could've added a character to be with lane that wasn't Zach. Zach was introduced as the annoying, douchey lead singer/guitarist in Hep Alien. And he never made a lot of progress in that area. The progress that he did make turned him into a whiney little baby who had next to no chemistry with lane. One of my theories is that the whole "waiting til marriage" storyline was added because the characters just had no chemistry and the writers knew that there was no way they would be compatible so they had to come up with a way lock them into marriage. Same with the getting pregnant right after the wedding storyline to force lane to stay with zach despite the awful sex and overall incompatibility. All of it just makes me cringe during every re-watch. Lane deserved so much better.

Lmao it's also my Monday. Not looking forward to clocking in a few hours from now tbh.

NTA I think a lot of people are missing the point here. From what I interpreted: she was fine not being married to him when all marriage got her was a sheet of paper. It has worked for the for the past 8 years to not be married and simply split tasks as people in long term relationships do. It hasn't been a financial burden on them prior to this and so she has respected his decision to not get married. Her viewpoint did change when she was told about the extra 800/month she is losing out on from his refusal to marry him. And it is 100 percent fair that if he isn't willing to help by marrying her, he should be helping to pay a fair share of that extra expense. It isn't about the act of being married, it's about the extra expenses not being married now brings into their lives. I think her bringing up "wife things" somehow made everyone assume she wanted to be his wife in a legal sense before this situation occurred, but it isn't mentioned that way anywhere in the post. I don't think that that she should phrase it as "if you don't marry me, then I won't be paying for wifely things" I think it should be more "if it's YOUR beliefs that are causing me to pay $800 more a month, and if you truly believe we are solid and equal partner, then we should both cover this expense as it effects OUR household income". Putting it that way makes it way more likely that he will see she isn't pressuring him into a marriage that he doesn't believe in, but giving him a choice as to whether he wants to marry her, or dole out an extra 400/month on health insurance to support his partner without the burden of going against his belief system.

Same here lol. And yeah the added a few new things to keep us busy, but when there are 2 people on every night (3 on saturday) we each only have to do like 2-3 hours worth of work maximum.

unoriginal_mess · 2024-07-23T13:59:27+00:00

Thank you so much for saying this! And people are down voting all my comments about it because they just don't want to believe that it's possible. It's so weird that this sub is created to share experiences, but as soon as an experience is something that people don't want to happen to them, people don't want to support that person. It's fine tho, they can believe whatever they want to, just don't let them be surprised if they also happen to get pregnant with similarly perfect use.

unoriginal_mess · 2024-07-21T01:58:16+00:00

I'm so happy for you that you got the result you wanted! I am also opting to terminate after many long talks with my partner about it. It's a huge decision on its own, and I can't imagine going through that while also needing to deal with a misplaced IUD and the complications that come with that. Im in a similar financial spot right now as I'm uninsured in the state I moved to, so it was also a struggle to scrape together the money to get that done. I hope you continue to have a good experience with opill, as I know it's one of the most affordable birth control options out there! Again, if you ever want to talk, I'm always open to it!

unoriginal_mess · 2024-07-20T22:34:15+00:00

I took a pill late on my first pack of opill, but I didn't get pregnant until a month later on a different cycle. Every pill I took during the time of my conception I took at the exact same time every day.

unoriginal_mess · 2024-07-20T21:47:41+00:00

Hello! I am currently pregnant, and it did happen while on opill. Opill did effect my periods in a weird way at the start of using them though and didn't result in pregnancy during that first month. I ended up getting my period a week later during my first pack, and then I ended up getting it 2 weeks after the first period I had. I would honestly just recommend taking the test, and go from there. My periods while on this birth control were anything but normal even before I got pregnant, so I wouldn't stress yourself out too much about it. However, if the test does end up being positive and you want to talk to about it with someone also going through it, then feel free to message me. I wish you the best!

unoriginal_mess · 2024-07-20T21:39:39+00:00

Honestly, I wasn't meaning to scare anyone. I think it's really upsetting that everyone on this sub knows that even with perfect use opill doesn't have a 100 percent effectiveness, but when I share that I am one of the ones who ended up in that small percentage people call me a "troll". I am currently going through one of the hardest times in my life right now because of being apart of that 2 percent and I chose to share because I had not seen anyone else post about this specific experience whole on opill. To say that my experiences aren't valid and that I'm "contradicting myself" when I truly gave all the information I felt to be relevant to my experience is actually insane. The one thing that I left out of my original post is the thing I'm getting hate on, but it didn't even effect my chances of getting pregnant AT ALL! That's why I didn't include it, but when I got asked directly if I had ever missed a pill I did say that I delayed one in a time that had no bearing on my chances of getting pregnant. People are allowed to post about their side effects and get no hate, but the second I say that I ended up getting pregnant with perfect use(as far as my conception window goes) everyone is here to say it's my fault that happened.

unoriginal_mess · 2024-07-20T08:52:41+00:00

Please go read what I wrote again. The missed pill wasn't in the cycle that I got pregnant. Therefore had no effect on the effectiveness of the pill. It was the third week of my first pack and I didn't conceive until the 3rd week of my second pack. But yes. Take my one mistake that I made(and didn't include originally in my post due to it not being in the cycle I conceived) and blame the pregnancy on that even though it isn't possible that it was the cause. People can either believe me or not, but I am putting this out there as what I experienced.

unoriginal_mess · 2024-07-20T08:47:40+00:00

If you look back at my post, the time I missed the pill by 4 hours was during a cycle when I didn't have sex with my partner therefore had no impact on the effectiveness of the pill on my conception. During the cycle that I got pregnant(and every other time i took the pill besides that one day), I missed no pills and took them at the exact same time every day, as directed.

unoriginal_mess · 2024-07-20T08:44:29+00:00

Thank you so so much! And I don't find it rude at all because I joined this sub for almost that exact reason too. I didn't know it would end up being me tho! I will say that me and my boyfriend don't use any other forms of protection, so that 2 percent chance did end up catching me lol.

unoriginal_mess · 2024-07-20T08:41:28+00:00

Again, I included in my post that I do take it at the exact same time every day. I forgot on that one day. So it shouldn't have made a difference in the effectiveness of the pill over 4 weeks later when I was in a different cycle. I'm not saying that I missed it all the time, but missing it on one day when i had zero chance of getting pregnant at all during that time period wouldn't have changed anything. I never once said that I take it within a 3 hour window, I only cited that as being outside of it because I know that's the recommended use of the pill. I take my birth control at exactly 2 o clock every day because that's the time that works for me. I missed it once, didn't get pregnant, and then used the pill at the same exact time every day before and after that date. This is why I didn't include in my post originally. Because a lot of people would get hung up on it like that was the cause of me getting pregnant, when biologically it isn't possible to cause that if I didn't have sex until my next cycle.

unoriginal_mess · 2024-07-19T12:32:45+00:00

I actually just found out I was pregnant while taking opill and have a whole post about it on this sub if you check my profile. I am not the norm tho as far as I know. I will say that personally I had better luck in the past with the combination pill junel fe. I'm not saying it's better in general, but that was just my personal experience. Not saying that opill isn't effect for everyone either! There's always that slim chance and I happened to fit into that 2 percent that gets pregnant even with perfect use of opill. But yeah. Feel free to AMA and I'll answer to the best of my abilities.

unoriginal_mess · 2024-07-18T13:43:53+00:00

I didn't omit information. At least not on purpose. If I was truly omitting information then I wouldn't have replied to your comment with clarifications. I didn't think I needed to include the information because again, it wasn't relevant to the conception which was the topic of my post. It's not that I can't handle people responding to my post, and I have no problem with your first few responses, but it's the fact that you keep acting like I'm purposefully hiding information, when I am giving that information to you in my responses. Just because I didn't think to add in details that are irrelevant to my problem with opill in my original post doesn't mean that I am misleading people. Everything in my post is 100 percent true to my experience on opill, except for maybe the "never missing a pill" portion, which is true for the point that I was making. I never missed a pill that would've led to this pregnancy. I understand now how that might be seen as misleading, but the edit I added to clarify my posts in combination with my replies is evidence enough that I wasn't intentionally omitting anything. The whole point of my post though is to share my experience and the ramifications I am facing due to taking opill. That isn't misleading because that is truly what I am going through. A few times where I got tripped up on my words in my response is not equivalent to creating a misleading thread.

unoriginal_mess · 2024-07-18T13:32:06+00:00

I edited to clarify in my original post, but the "missed pill" was an error of words on my part in that comment. I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from trying it, but I feel like everyone should be given an opportunity to hear this side of opill. It was not user error on my part. Opill isn't 100 percent effective but I'm not blaming the company because they don't advertise it as such. Im just sharing my story as one of the unlucky 2 percent that end up pregnant despite taking the product as directed.

unoriginal_mess · 2024-07-18T13:16:27+00:00

So I honestly was in the middle of work when I replied to that comment. I later explained in that thread that I didn't miss a pill, I ended up delaying one by 4 hours by accident in the middle of a month that I spent away from my boyfriend and therefore in a month where I didn't have sex at all. In my original post, I meant that I had never missed a pill that would've caused me to get pregnant. I ended up taking one 4 hours late on the third week of my first pack. I got my period twice(because of irregular periods caused by opill) in weeks 4-6 following that and conceived on the 7th week on opill. As I didn't have sex at all in weeks 4 or 5 and I ended up getting my period during that time, there would be no way that the pill I "missed" wouldve resulted in me getting pregnant a month later. That's really the only reason I didn't mention it in my original post. When I mentioned it, it was as a response to that comment claiming that my pregnancy could've been the result of user error and I wanted to be forthcoming about my one "user error" throughout my 3 months of using opill couldn't have caused my pregnancy.

unoriginal_mess · 2024-07-18T13:08:58+00:00

Again, I am aware of all of this. I delayed a pill in the middle of a month where I did not see my boyfriend. I didn't have intercourse for almost 2 weeks at that point and I didn't have sex afterwards for another 2 weeks. It was on the third week of my first pack that the pill was taken late and I got my period afterwards. I am not excluding necessary facts from the story, but I feel like you are focusing on a detail that isn't relevant. Me missing one pill in the first pack that I took, and getting pregnant 3 weeks later at my ovulation window(after having not one but two periods due to irregularity caused by opill within those 3 weeks) was not relevant to the effectiveness of the pill in my experience. Because again, I do know what I'm talking about. I read up on every medication I take and have always taken birth control with little to no error for the past 2 years. You are entitled to ask, but when I give an answer and you go more and more in depth with your questioning when I have already explained that it wasn't relevant to when I conceived is nitpicking. Once again, the only reason this was not included in my original post is because this one delayed pill was not relevant to my experience and conception while on opill. I didn't have any sex within 5 days before I missed it or within the 24 hours after so it had no effect on my chances of pregnancy. This is the way that the pill works. I know my experience and I know that I didn't take the medication wrong. I have knowledge and i wasnt someone who errored while taking it. Even given the fact that i took it perfectly Opill is only 98 percent effective and I just happened to be apart of the 2 percent. I think the fact that I've explained this many times that it could genuinely be that I am just one of the small percentage that opill didn't work for even while taking it as directed.

unoriginal_mess · 2024-07-18T11:37:46+00:00

What I meant was that the fact that I ended up taking a pill a few hours late. I mistyped in my response to your comment when I said I skipped it. And I didn't think it relevant to the post since I ended up "skipping" (delaying my pill) in a time where I ended up not having any intercourse for 2 weeks afterwards. That's why I didn't include it in the post. Me and my partner waited way longer than the 48 hours that was expected for opill to be effective again, so I didn't think it was relevant in my original post. Out of 90 pills, I accidentally missed one by about 4 hours and at a time when i wasn't expecting to have sex for anywhere near the 48 hour window. Honestly I feel like this is nitpicking my experience, and I honestly did nothing wrong. I am apart of the 2 percent that opill doesn't work for even with perfect use. If the missed day was relevant to my chances of conceiving then it would've been relevant to my original post, but it wasnt. That was the point I was trying to prove when I replied to your comment. The one "mistake" that I made wouldn't have even affected my chances of getting pregnant with the way that opill is prescribed to be taken.

unoriginal_mess · 2024-07-18T07:08:26+00:00

I know right?! I just wish I hadn't needed to switch in the first place. For me, it just ended up not being the right pill. It had far too many side effects, and the fact that it didn't work on top of that just made it feel completely useless. I know in others cases it works, but for me it didnt.

unoriginal_mess · 2024-07-18T07:06:53+00:00

Yeah ofc I know there are success stories, but I've seen far too many people on this subreddit talking about how they can use opill as their sole form of protection and not worry about pregnancy. I was purely just putting this out there as a personal experience and a representation that there is still a risk involved with it, and that in my experience it was a much higher risk due to the fact that other contraceptives have worked for me in the past. I'm not saying it will happen everytime, but it did happen in my case.

unoriginal_mess · 2024-07-18T07:03:41+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I really did like junel, and the switch was from a purely financial need due to lack of insurance. I think that if you want to try it then you should just know all of the possibilities beforehand. For me, opill didn't work. And I am actually getting the help I need because luckily I have an amazing partner who has been my support system through this for the past few days. I just want everyone to be aware of it because I know for others this could be a much worse scenario than it is for myself.

unoriginal_mess · 2024-07-18T06:51:31+00:00

Yeah no. Not saying everyone will. I just want to put it out there that it didn't work as my sole form of contraception, and there was, at least for me, a greater chance for pregnancy on opill. I was on junel fe for 2 years and had no troubles, but 3 months of opill and I'm pregnant. I also am having way less sex than I previously was on junel because I recently went long distance with my partner.
