This is the third time in a row that HEB has been completely out of red onion. I’ve been to two different stores in that time. Only Austin area struggling? Or is there some widespread red onion shortage I don’t know about?! (Which would be devastating for me as I love them)
I’m at my wits end. I hate bleeding. Always have since I got my first period when I was 13. Have always done what I can to avoid it. I’m not sexually active so I don’t need a period to tell me if I’m pregnant or not.
Brief history:
-pill from 15 y/o to 26 y/o. Different varieties but majority on the 3 month pack and then I just skipped the placebo week. If I had breakthrough bleeding, I would stop the pills for three to five days and would stop the bleeding.
-liver issues in 2024. Doctors told me to stop the pill bc estrogen can worsen the issues. Immediately stopped the pill and got nexplanon in August 2024.
-no bleeding AT ALL from insertion to Dec 1 2025. I have bled basically everyday since Dec 2025. (Sometimes full periods for weeks at a time, other times just light spotting, but always enough to need to use something)
What I’ve tried:
-two months of low dose estrogen pill only - bleeding stops while on the pill but comes back in full swing with a week of stopping
-14 days of high dose estrogen pill (same as above re bleeding)
-5 days of high dose naproxen (bleeding stopped for longer than a week this time but has come back in full force)
Other info:
-abdominal and TV ultrasound show no abnormalities
-no physical trauma that would cause the issue
-this bleeding comes with full period symptoms (GI, cramps, etc)
I really liked the nexplanon until the bleeding started. No side effects, no weight gain, limited pms symptoms. I know some bleeding is normal. But this?! I’m fucking miserable. Please help. Anyone dealt w this? I know you aren’t doctors but was just seeing if you all have any ideas. Thank you ❤️
Bruh where can I find a dentist that doesn’t feel like an MLM scam? Tried Swish and they were definitely trying to sell me on stuff I didn’t need and run the cost up. Don’t need anything fancy - just my normal twice yearly cleaning.
I searched, but most recent post on this topic is nearly a year old and still has a lot of people recommending the “big box dentists” as I like to call them.
Thanks all!
