I am in my early 20s and have always struggled with trying to lose weight. I just was 5 weeks pregnant and had an abortion, and I was curious how long it takes for the little bump to go away? I had been actively trying to lose weight and wasn’t, so once I found out I was pregnant it made sense. I know a full term pregnancy really changes your body, will this experience change my body?
I have been made fun of this my whole life. It stems from bandaids being in the pool or like seeing wet stickers. Literally typing this makes me nauseous. When things with adhesive like start to peel slightly or you can see them getting dirty, also grosses me out. My boyfriend sleeps with mouth tape because he snores and I literally can’t be near his face in the morning or night because it grosses me out so bad. Everyone thinks I’m crazy but there has to be people that find this to be gross. Like a random sticker just being stuck to you? Disgusting.
Recently I had to have an abortion, it was the only choice for me and my boyfriend. We drove 20 hours over 2 days and got very little sleep during the process. He did a lot of research and told me about protestors and fake clinics. I honestly didn’t even think this could be real so I brushed it off. There were in fact men and women yelling at me and him as we walked into the building. The abortion clinic had to send out an email to prepare you for protestors, that’s how bad it is. Anyways, my boyfriend was already a huge feminist, but he couldn’t stop saying how that radicalized him even more. Choice is so important and it’s crazy there are people who want that taken from us.
Hi! I’ve been trying to figure out my medication for quite i while. I started on focalin when I was in 3rd grade, and switched to vyvanse in middle school, because I started becoming extremely depressed. I continued on vyvanse and tried a few others here and there but concluded vyvanse was the best. I think I’ve always had anxiety and depression but my home life isn’t conducive to making it better. I had harmful thoughts at a young age and didn’t know that wasn’t normal. Do not have support from my family, they do not understand mental health. My mom takes anxiety medication and just insists that what I’m saying is wrong because she doesn’t experience it. My dad needs to be medicated but isn’t and swears mental health is a joke. I got of adhd meds senior year of high school, and began taking them as needed in college. I started on Prozac during college. I tried lexapro, didn’t like it. I tried Wellbutrin on its own, didn’t like it. I switched back to Prozac however I have libido issues. I was told to add Wellbutrin so now I take 300mg of Wellbutrin and 30mg of Prozac. I was taking them both in the morning, and began sleeping all day. When I fall into depressive habits I tend to sleep more than necessary, but I began sleeping way too much. I worked an 8-5 so I was drained every day and it was impossible to wake up. I started taking my meds before bed, and they help me wake up, but I still am not happy with them. I used to get panic attacks but haven’t since I’ve been medicated, but my medication just seems off. I would love some recommendations, my doctors have not been helpful.

I just recently found out I was 5 weeks pregnant with my boyfriend of a little under a year. We are fresh out of college and keeping this baby was not an option. I was horrified, we had to drive 20 hours over 2 days to make this happen. We found this out on a beach trip we took and we have had to hide it from everyone we know. I intend to marry this man and he feels the same, but now was not the time. I had a surgical abortion and to be honest, it was a great experience INSIDE the building. They were so kind and helpful and I have been in little to no pain. Just dealing with hormones. My boyfriend warned me that there would be protestors but honestly I was like there’s just no way a random weekday people are doing that. Boy was I wrong, there were MEN shouting at me. Saying I will regret the decision forever and yada yada. Also to make things worse, right next door there was a FAKE abortion clinic. They would just waste your time to make you either miss your abortion appointment or just slow the process. I genuinely could not believe this was a thing. The following day it was women in vests who APPROACHED me and wouldn’t stop talking. I just honestly was astonished. I was and am confident in my decision, but it blows my mind there’s people that care THAT much about someone else’s decision. I’m grateful my boyfriend did research on all of this and was able to warn me and guide me through everything. The protestors really didn’t do anything crazy to me, I just couldn’t believe it was happening.
If you are pro-life this is probably not the post for you. I’m not looking to be criticized for my choices, so please refrain from giving me your religious beliefs on the topic. I already dealt with protestors. I am fresh out of college and have been dating a man for under a year. I intend to marry said man, and he feels the same. I got the kyleena iud 3 years ago and besides the first 3 months of cramps, haven’t had any issues. After being incredibly late on my period I took a pregnancy test and found out I was 5 weeks pregnant. As this is not something that could be feasible for me right now, my boyfriend and I drove 20 hours round trip over 2 days to get a surgical abortion done. I was very nervous but it went smoothly and am practically recovered 3 days later. When I got the ultrasound before my abortion, they could not find my IUD. After the abortion, the doctor said it was not in there and I would have known if it had gone upwards, which it hasn’t. He said it must have been expelled from my body. I need to figure out birth control, but am obviously reluctant to go through the pain of the IUD insertion again. Also after talking with my abortion doctor, he explained how the copper IUD is much better and lasts longer. He also did not want me to be discouraged from getting an IUD again based on my experience, because it is the best form of birth control. I want to look into that however I have heard it’s incredibly painful. I get bad cramps and am not in the stage of life anymore where I can just lay around dealing with cramps. I’ve tried most birth control pills, I cannot remember to take them. The doctor highly discourages the arm implant. Not interested in the nuva ring. Don’t have time to get a shot every couple months. Please share some opinions on what you’d suggest would be a good option.
