specifically asking those of you in LA, OC, and SB counties.
did they ask which one you want? i had kyleena a few years ago and im ok doing it again, but i would hate to get one brand over another and have a poor experience and need to have it yanked.
oc,la, and sb counties in california (i believe they all fall under one area technically)
hi! i’m not sure if anyone on here can help me, but i’d like to get a copper IUD and i know 100% i do want one. i am an existing patient but i have never used this online appointment system. do i choose birth control or do i choose iud placement? because the last time i went was march and i had a different thing done in march and couldn’t afford the iud placement without insurance. i have insurance now, and i am interested in a copper iud with potentially anesthesia depending on the price.
im asking here as i cant call until tomorrow after noon so i thought maybe i could get an answer while i wait.
this is my first time booking with a placeholder. i am getting ready to book a cruise for april 2028 on thursday morning and i was wondering if ill have to call to have them place it or will it automatically appear when i go to book my cruise? i dont mind paying the deposit and all that just to book it, but i want to make sure i dont lose out on my 10% and extra $150.
this is a vent of everything going on in my head right now.
had a surgical abortion in march. my (now) husband and i decided that maybe we did actually want to have a child and decided to try again. now i have a positive test and doubts.
the first time, i had decided we couldn’t do it. i had just gotten a job after a long bout of unemployment and my husband and i had dug ourselves into a decent amount of debt trying to stay afloat during that time period. we were also not quite married yet and i felt a lot of shame being out of wedlock. we had agreed that once we were out of this debt, built an emergency fund and were married, we could try again. we did that and tried again.
now that i am pregnant again, im not entirely sure i want it. i keep going back and forth between not wanting it and wanting it. i would say the biggest factor is im not sure im ready to give up my lifestyle. maybe also i feel my career is not quite where i wanted it to be, and what if i cant go farther in my career because this child is holding me back? i also worry i would feel deep gender disappointment.
i potentially want to schedule an OB appt just in case i do go through with it, but i guess i also fear doing that in the situation i would decide to terminate. am i being crazy? would it be wrong to schedule an OB appt? would it be wrong to go to a first OB appt and decide to terminate after? i feel im leaning more towards termination, but theres a small part of me that may want to go forward. i live in california so i know i have time to decide.
i’m pro choice but its so hard deciding when its yourself. there is no wrong reason to have an abortion, but i feel selfish and shameful having another one. i feel i have pretty good reasons to do so, but it still feels weird.
hi! i am looking for a more affordable personal trainer in the tustin/orange/anaheim hills areas! they don’t have to be professionals either, just someone who is comfortable helping out a girl who has quite a bit of gym anxiety and trying to get out there and learn!
not sure what my budget is right now but i think i can probably spend anywhere from $60-$75 a week.
edit: also open to beginner friendly workout classes!
hi! 24f, 5’1 sw: ~165lbs, cw: 149
for the last two weeks i’ve been stuck at 149 and it’s driving me crazy. i count my calories and i use the lose it app to track my meals and i’ve been going off of the calorie goal that lose it gives me.
i thought maybe it’s too many calories so i checked a tdee calculator and it said 1100 calories for my weight and to be in a deficit and i think that’s absolutely insane. right now, the lose it app says 1298 calories a day, and im usually there or under.
what can i do to break out of this plateau?
