yea have u gotten checked for endometriosis?

i haven’t cause my mom just use “home remedies” to cure off the pain .-. whenever i ask to go see a doctor she just doesn’t listen and chooses her way to treat my pains and usually she pushes me to take midol just to shut up ab the pain.. most of the time tell me how she had cramps when there weren’t anything to treat when she was in her teenage years back in cuba so i just don’t really know what to do at this point but i told her abt it and she’ll call soon to make an appointment. i’m literally 20 too lol..

cant u book ur own appointment

i have before and mom refused to take me cause i was “overreacting and being dramatic” with my period cramps. she’s just that type of mom that calls herself right every time when situations aren’t right at all |:

i’m only asking for opinions and advices, i’ve had others in this forum tell me about that it treats others differently. i’ve never put anything into my body so again i’m just a very curious person who needs opinions and advices on wether if it’s a good idea or not. but regardless i’m doing so anyways right when i get my ovaries checked out. smfh

not only that but i never ask about medical advices on vp before nor that i had the idea to do so, this was MY only time because i don’t know anything about it at all and a new way for me to understand what the women in vp have to explain about their experiences

i get slammed with that “where are u going to move into and how are u going to pay rent?” bullshit so i can’t even bother asking without her yelling at me about it 😕

it really depends on the person but mini-pills are more likely to cause acne than the combined pill, the combined pill usually actually makes people's skin clearer. i'm not sure about weight gain

maybe the iud, allegedly that's not supposed to cause any systemic side effects but i've heard from some people it did anyway

I was on birth control and it completely messed up my body. Gained a ton of weight, lost my libido and overall just not having a great time. I stopped taking it in November and my body still isn't back to normal. Only had my period twice in the last 6 months yikes. I rly wouldn't recommend taking birth control pills :/ Ofc everybody reacts different to it but almost everyone I talked to had horrible experiences

i’m so scared to actually get into it after this comment.. like i’ve seen some friends with birth control and they’re like skinny and fine but i’m scared that if i take it, it’ll impact me a lot cause i tend to break out so easily.. but i never gain weight so i don’t know if metabolism has anything to do with the side effects which i’m only praying for cause i eat every hour and just never gain 1 pound at all :<

you shouldn't base a medical decision on my experience though. as you can see there are plenty of people in this thread who are doing just fine with birth control pills it just wasnt the right thing for me. everyones body is different and the only way to really find out what works for you is to test it

you’re right and i understand completely but i tend to overthink about it cause it’s really something that i’ve never done in my life since i relied on others to make choices for me when it has something to do with personal hygiene specifically about periods, i.e “don’t take birth control” or “just use [brand] to sooth your cramps” and what not. ;-; i’m trying to change that since i have more abilities to do what i wanna do in life 😣

i’ll most likely take legohouse’s and kruspersille’s advices since it’s the right thing to do before ingesting something. second hand though i never knew endometriosis even existed o.o

LOL that freedom from not dealing with your period
