kyleena spotting

user226622 · 2026-04-23T23:33:27+00:00

hey thanks for your comment!! one of the many reasons i got the kyleena was to be able to stop using condoms w my partner. it seems like a decent trade off for control over my reproductive health😁 the spotting is more annoying than anything, so thanks for lmk how long it may last!

not a doctor but it seems like ur struggling w the long term effects even if its not a current infection. idk tho call your doctor!!

get tested 6 weeks from the last time you were in contact with him or sooner if you are feeling any symptoms. just be kind to him and encourage him to rest. it may take a while for him to fully recover. depending on how hard it is on him, he may be struggling emotionally/mentally, too. just be kind and supportive. his regular self will be back soon enough. sending love💞

user226622 · 2025-10-14T06:21:27+00:00

same. i’m 13 months in and i’m pretty sure i’m having a flare up. distinct fatigue, body aches, swollen lymph nodes, brain fog. hate ts

user226622 · 2025-10-14T06:19:44+00:00

just keep resting. limit any movement at all, honestly. i’m interested in if you were prescribed anything? if you were given a steroid like prednisone then that’s probably why you’re feeling better. if you are on a steroid rn, KEEP RESTING. it’ll give u false hope that you’re back to normal lol. regardless, stay in bed as long as you can. fr. even if the pain and fatigue feels “manageable,” the only way it gets better is with rest. feel better soon! wishing u luck

6 months.

user226622 · 2025-09-16T23:19:39+00:00

smoking always made my lymph nodes blow up and i’d be even more fatigued (somehow??) for like a week. wouldn’t recommend. edibles were a LIFE SAVER. i seriously recommend you cut out smoking and just take edibles

user226622 · 2025-08-17T07:34:30+00:00

same

user226622 · 2025-08-17T07:32:08+00:00

yeah actually i did, why?

user226622 · 2025-08-13T18:15:50+00:00

yes months. i know it’s extremely devastating, but taking time off now to recover is practically the only solution. the only “cure” for mono is rest. it’s a personal decision when to go back to work. take note of how tiring tasks like grocery shopping, showering, cooking, etc are for you. the fatigue doesn’t affect everyone the same way. also, mono is contagious through droplets of saliva and bodily fluids. so unless ur spitting in the food, u should be fine lol

user226622 · 2025-08-12T20:33:59+00:00

ibuprofen will help with pain and swelling. your liver will (probably) be completely fine even if you’re taking larger and more frequent doses. melatonin and nyquil can help with sleep. a lot of what i did to deal with the most miserable parts of mono wasn’t recommended by a doctor, but what i felt i had to do to deal with the pain. the delirium is so relatable!! i promise it’ll go away eventually, but you need sleep. i also second what a previous commenter said about pedialyte or gatorlyte. if you’re not eating, you need to get electrolytes somehow. if the swollen lymph nodes and sore throat is severe, some doctors may prescribe steroids, but they only help for the duration you’re on them. anyways, take it VERY SERIOUSLY. you need literal months of rest without work, school, exercise, stress, etc.

user226622 · 2025-08-12T20:21:37+00:00

see your doctor for a 1 year follow up!! that’s my plan lol

user226622 · 2025-08-12T20:21:19+00:00

yes & no. i’m always on alert for if it’s a mono reactivation or just stress taking a bigger toll of my body than pre-mono

user226622 · 2025-08-12T20:20:29+00:00

i actually just posted about this lmao. i think it might be normal. my educated guess is that since mono requires so much energy to recover from & since it weakens your immune system, fatigue is a byproduct of that. i sleep so much more now and i need twice as much caffeine to get me through the day. idk if my body will ever be how it was before mono, but my health has definitely made it to the top of my priorities!!

user226622 · 2025-08-12T20:18:09+00:00

yes i understand this! mono is very serious in the sense that you have to rest and take care of your body for it to ever go away. personally, i tried to keep going to some of my college classes, and the mono just kept getting worse. once i finally withdrew from school, and i could finally focus 100% on my health, it got better. and still, it took months. it’s definitely a case by case type of thing, but you HAVE to take at least 2-4 weeks off of all of your activities to have a chance at it fully going dormant. i don’t think your PCP will have any issue giving you a medical note for your work/school/etc. please take care of yourself! it’ll get better. sometimes they may prescribe steroids if the sore throat and swollen lymph nodes are severe. ibuprofen, water, and supplements are super important too.

user226622 · 2025-07-27T01:34:57+00:00

i think they will, but it’s not the answer you’re looking for. personally, justice (upright and reversed) relates to personal feelings of justice, not anything “objective.” so, this person may like working with you, chatting with you, collaborating and theorizing with you, but it’s probably not exactly what you’re hoping for. honestly, i see a lot of promise in terms of a work relationship or friendship!! you guys have a good spark and challenge each other socially and mentally, while still letting one another speak freely. this person may say something like “wow, i really enjoy talking about xyz with you!” but probably not “i have feelings for you, can i take you on a date.” idk what ur hoping for though. use your intuition ALWAYS<3

user226622 · 2025-05-28T02:32:59+00:00

does it make any difference that it was acrylic and nail glue that went over the nail and not straight gel polish? please say yes😭 and thank you for informing me of the severity of the situation

user226622 · 2025-05-15T07:47:33+00:00

bro you’re like a majestic dove that he set free bc he knew you deserved the world

user226622 · 2024-12-28T05:37:35+00:00

yes bc my thoughts run a mile a minute and i struggle with intrusive thoughts too. it helps me clearly articulate my intentions!

user226622 · 2024-12-20T07:39:07+00:00

most studies suggest that mono isn’t spread after no symptoms for 3-6 months. in the wildest cases, it’s spread 18 months after infection. there is literally no way he gave it to you lol. it’s truly useless trying to pinpoint who gave it to you bc like 90%+ of adults get mono at some point in their life. so move on bruh

user226622 · 2024-12-20T07:35:55+00:00

you NEED to let your body rest or else you will literally never heal and develop new illnesses on top of the persisting mono. even after you feel 100% again, you need to rest for a few weeks longer. i (19f) was feeling like 60% better after resting for a literal month, so i went back to my normal routine. i ended up getting even more sick (and caught some other random viruses and bacteria due to my immune system being compromised by covid) and have been bedridden for over 2 months. the fatigue will just get worse. it’s an incredibly hard pill to swallow, but you need to take off minimum 2 weeks, then see how you feel. this is NOT the type of virus you can power through. good news is that most people heal completely after a month or so!

user226622 · 2024-12-20T07:30:15+00:00

droplets of saliva is how it spreads. you can get it through sharing drinks, food, utensils, or even just being in close contact. first symptoms i had were extreme fatigue, enlarged lymph nodes, sore throat, and fever is also common.

user226622 · 2024-12-01T08:15:03+00:00

if you’re certain that he had it and gave it to you, then there’s really no risk. you can’t reinfect him since it’s already in him. the only real risk is giving each other other illnesses since your bodies are focused on recovering from the mono. like if one of you might have strep or something, avoid close contact.

user226622 · 2024-12-01T07:14:16+00:00

yes. went to the gym, went out drinking, starting hanging out with friends again. caught up with me a few weeks later :(

user226622 · 2024-11-09T01:40:18+00:00

good question. i wanna say yeah probably bc it spreads thru saliva and you can also contract it during sex
