Looking for Gyno Clinics that do Endometrial Biopsy That Don't Suck!!

I am booked with Axis Gynecology for a virtual pre-appointment before they will book me in for my actual biopsy. They refused to book my in-person appointment until I do the virtual causing this process to take multiple months.

Now, my virtual appointment is tomorrow and they have not sent me the virtual link.

Basically, this office is a complete mess, no one answers the phones EVER. I do not recommend you get any Gyno care here. Their online reviews are absolutely terrible.

Anticipating that they will not send me the link in time for my appointment tomorrow, and tell me we have to reschedule, I'm looking for advice on gyno clinics, in Toronto only, that people have had good experiences with that can do an endometrial biopsy and IUD insertion at the same appointment. A clinic that is not a disorganized disaster of with months of waiting for only a virtual appointment before the in-person appointment. I understand I will have to wait perhaps another month or 2, but if that means I can have an in-person booked and get this over with I'm ok with that.

Does anyone have any advice?

Best place for a single woman to hang out for long weekend ?

I don't own a car and stay in midtown. Looking for some places in or nearby I can just hang out in during weekend. All my colleagues are married or have cars. Everyone is going out to blue mountain or Montreal or Peterborough. I feel like I am getting sad and left out. Any suggestions? Even if it's a fun yoga class or something just out of the blue should be good. I just don't wanna stay in my dark basement all week

I have a guy - friends who may join but he is a nerd and it's hard to convince him to go anywhere and he is giving interviews so I really don't have anyone else to hang out with.

Any places which will break the work week monotonous feeling should be ok

Also am I the only one going through these feelings? How do other singles cope?

Affordable hair salon for women

I badly need a haircut 😭 My hair is currently shoulder length and I just want a simple 2-inch trim to make it into a blunt bob.

I’ve been checking salons around Toronto and most quotes are around $70–100 depending on the stylist level. I totally understand why, but I honestly don’t want to splurge that much for a pretty straightforward cut.

Does anyone have recommendations for affordable but decent salons/stylists in Toronto? I’m also open to experienced home-based hairstylists or Facebook Marketplace finds as long as they do clean work.

Thank you so much!

Self defense classes in Toronto? Almost got attacked, can you fight back?

Hey everyone! I am 24f student living alone dt. Today in broad daylight was the first time I ever felt unsafe in Toronto. Lived here all my life I love the city and the people in it.

I’m walking to work, walking west toward yonge and Gerrard. I’m slowly passing this young woman orange curly hair giant red bubble jacket, straight face. As we begin to pass she lifts up her bent elbow, positions her fist toward my face as if she’s about to hit me.

I jump back maybe a little slower then I would like and all I said was wtf.

  1. Is it legal to hit her or push her back
  2. I need self defense classes. Can anyone share options. Affordable options, but somewhere I can actually learn

I would really appreciate it, I don’t want to feel helpless. I want to learn my body and use it to protect myself.

May 17 - International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia

It has been 20 years since May 17th was named the International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia. This day was chosen to honour May 17, 1990, the date the World Health Organization made the landmark decision to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder. It is a day to recognize hard-earned progress, while also addressing the pursuit of equality, both in Canada, and within our Defence Team.

Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and additional sexually and gender diverse communities continue to face adversity and challenges in our pursuit of rights and inclusion. A disproportionate percentage of these communities continue to report experiencing discrimination and harassment.

https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/maple-leaf/defence/2024/05/international-day-against-homophobia-transphobia-biphobia-2024.html

The International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia^([1])^([2]) (IDAHOBIT) is observed on 17 May^([1]) and aims to coordinate international events that raise awareness of LGBTQ rights violations and stimulate interest in LGBTQ rights work worldwide. By 2016, the commemorations had taken place in over 130 countries.^([3])

The founders of the International Day Against Homophobia, as it was originally known, established the IDAHO Committee to coordinate grassroots actions in different countries, to promote the day and to lobby for official recognition on May 17. That date was chosen to commemorate the decision to remove homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1990.^([4])

Infertility Therapy/Therapist Recommendations

I'm thick in the middle of Infertility struggles and possibly exploring IVF. Its an expensive and exhausting procedure with no guarantee of a positive outcome, a.k.a, healthy baby.

Is there any therapist that helped you in the Journey?

Bars That Pretty Hipster Men Frequent?

My women and I (also a woman) are on the hunt this Friday. I’m hoping to kick off the long weekend properly by being visually blessed with the sights of some beautiful hipster men—ya know, the ones with the moustaches and who look like they snowboard. Where does this archetype of man frequent on their evenings out?

I promise we are a good looking group of young women and this was written in an ironic, humours tone and we are, in reality, not as peculiar as this post comes across.

(Preferably recommendations in down town TO)

Surrogacy Agencies

EDIT: I thought this went without saying, but I'm obviously only referring to agencies operating within Canadian surrogacy laws.

This might be a bit outside the typical content, but I'm looking for local options. Our family is hoping to grow through surrogacy. I'm curious if anyone has worked with a local Toronto/GTA agency? What was your experience?

(Before people come at me for exploring surrogacy, our local children's aid society is presently closed to new adoption applicants. We're heartbroken but looking for new options.)

Bar for solo female?

Hi. Hope all of your are fine. I'm 33 yrs old female and I have never been to a bar. I've been told by my male friends that it's not safe for a female to go to a bar/club alone? Is that true? I don't drink but just want to enjoy the vibes of a club/bar. Please suggest me if there’s any such place I can go on my own, thanks :)
