Birth control that help with pain?

I don’t want a hysterectomy and I’ve tried slinda/slynd and Zoely but both made me miserable and talked my sex drive. Zoely has turned me into an emotional monster bitch on top of it. My dr is pushing for an iud or implanon but I’m so scared they’ll give me hardcore shitty side effects too. I just want to stop the periods! The pain is unbearable.
What birth control helped you?

Has anyone tried nuvaring?

After Slynd killed my sex drive, Zoely is currently making me a complete BITCH 24/7 with no sex drive at all, I've been told maybe Nuvaring may help. Has anyone had it and how was it? I just want less pain and less hormones without having to rip out my uterus :(

Zoely help

My dr put me on Zoely to stop my periods and ease the pain of Adenomyosis as well as help with the pmdd she suspects I have but one month in and I’m feeling like I have hardcore pms every single day and I still got period pain without a period it was rough. Has anyone had it be terrible for the first few months before being ok?

v1 or v1 pro?

Sales are on and I'm tossing up between the two, anyone had both and wanna share which is best? Not shooting weddings or anything but building a reliable setup for headshots and other things :)

is it worth saving cash with Godox V860III or is the V1 pro better

So for context, I'm a headshot photographer who's just started taking my biz more seriously as well as also doing creative portraits etc. I have the AD200 and need a new speed light to go with it. I like the idea of the round head of the v1 pro and the Godox AK-R1 Accessory Kit that can be used with it but am I just getting excited by the newest thing? I will be using this flash on it's own a lot of the time as I do a lot of on location work. I know the kit works with a cheap adaptor making the V86III a cheaper and just as useable option but I thought I'd get some opinions here to help make up my mind! I gotta build a better more reliable setup :)

How to replicate lighting like this?

I was given this image as a brief and I'm unsure how exactly to replicate it. I have two studio lights and an ad200 pro as well as planning to get another speedlight if needed (always needed I should just get it anyway lol) I have a dark space to shoot but not sure what to do here. Any ideas would be appreciated!

I have Adenomyosis and pmdd so the dr wants me to try Zoely but I keep reading stories of it killing peoples sex drive. I tried slinda and it destroyed my libido so that’s a no go. I can’t use yaz or a few others thanks to migraines and other factors so I’m keen to hear others experiences with sex drive return or pills that didn’t kill it! In aus fyi

So I need to ask this group of incredible women because I don’t have the experience y’all do.
My mother had breast cancer (small removed and sent on her way) last year at 71. She refused genetic testing at the time but I recently convinced her to do it for me. And I wanna know if she’s at risk still. My question is, was it worth it and why? Have i been incredibly selfish in asking her to do something she didn’t want to do? Her sister who had a double mastectomy ten years ago now has cancer back in her spine and chest.
My mother refuses to take the tamoxifen because she couldn’t handle the side effects so that’s playing on my mind too. Our appointment is in three days and I want to be sure I’ve done the right thing in asking her to get it done. How did getting the genetic testing affect you and in what way?

So my mum just redid her bathroom, it’s average sized and white with black finishes. She used to have a chair that she put her clothes on when showering but for some reason removed it and is looking for other options, probably to have some space. What do you put your clothes on in your bathroom? Personally I think a cute little chair is fun but she’s against it!

I’m 38 and was recently diagnosed with mild adenomyosis. Over the past few years, my period pain has gone from being really really bad for a day or two to excruciating (7 to 10 level) from day 1 through to day 5 or 6. I’m also feeling exhausted quite often.

What’s confusing is that I don’t have the very heavy bleeding I keep reading about. My period is definitely heavier than it was about five years ago, but it’s not extreme.

Has anyone else experienced severe pain like this without particularly heavy periods?

Also, since mine is considered mild and I understand adenomyosis can be progressive, what should I expect over the next few years? Any pain control tips would be awesome too, Neurofen Zevance is the only thing that helps but it's starting to not do as good a job (ponstan did nothing and neither does codeine)

Thanks for reading and for such a gorgeous community!

So my friend is turning 40 and my friends and I want to make her a photobook of all the crazy nights out we had as teenagers/twenty somethings along with screenshots of some truly heinous group chats and online games we have played in the past. A lot of the content will have some very non pc jokes and images shared between friends (no racism or anything like that, mostly just incredibly vulgar) I was halfway through making this book before I realised I should check the terms of the company to make sure I don't get rejected and sure enough, they had a thing saying no to "Any material that could infringe any materials that is unlawful, obscene, pornographic, indecent, defamatory, offensive, abusive, threatening, or otherwise inappropriate and harmful to children in any way, or could give rise to any civil or criminal liability under applicable law;"

Does anyone know of a company that'll accept some of the pretty foul content I'll be working with? I have less than a month to get this made and I'm STRESSED.

Apologies for the ridiculous question lol
