šŸ“£šŸ“£MODERATOR POST Pregnancy Scares, Safe Sex & Emergency Contraception Resources

26 Upvotes

We’ve noticed that a lot of members have been posting about pregnancy scares lately. We also came across a comment from a Redditor suggesting that the mods create a dedicated Pregnancy Scare Thread

We encourage everyone to visit [r/SafeSexPH](r/SafeSexPH) for discussions about sexual health, contraception, safe sex practices, and pregnancy-related concerns.

**[r/SafeSexPH](r/SafeSexPH) Discussion Thread (**https://www.reddit.com/r/SafeSexPH/s/WeZtviydwR)
Check out this thread for relevant discussions and information.

Search this subreddit, too!
We already have posts discussing pregnancy scares, unprotected sex, contraception, emergency contraception, and pregnancy tests.

Use the search bar before creating a new post. Baka may kapareho ka na ng situation, at nasagot na rin ang tanong mo. Hindi natin kailangang magparamihan ng ā€œSabay-sabay tayong kabahanā€ posts

****

Had unprotected sex recently?
Emergency contraception may help prevent pregnancy. Depending on the method, it can be used within 3–5 days after sex, but the sooner you seek it, the better. It does not end an existing pregnancy. Consult a pharmacist or healthcare professional promptly about your options

Is a delayed period automatically a pregnancy?* *No, Stress, hormonal changes, illness, changes in weight, and other factors can affect your cycle. But if you’ve had unprotected sex, don’t rely on symptoms, period-tracking apps, or your gut feeling alone. Take a pregnancy test at the appropriate time

****

We’re not here to judge anyone for having sex. We’re here to encourage informed decisions, responsible discussions, and safer practices

But please remember that Reddit comments cannot confirm whether you’re pregnant. A random redditor saying ā€œGirl, same experience ako, hindi naman ako nabuntisā€ is not a reliable form of contraception

Prevention is better than panic. Information is better than assumptions. And a pregnancy test is better than asking 50 strangers to interpret your symptoms

Stay safe, practice safe sex, and please take care of yourselves, everyone! ā¤ļø

WOMEN ONLY: Question Do you unfriend/unfollow people who suddenly stop talking to you?

14 Upvotes

Do you girlies unfollow "friends" who suddenly stopped talking to you for no apparent reason?

Like, halatang may biglang nagbago sa ugali nila sa’yo. You can feel that something is off, parang may ayaw na sila sa’yo, pero they never actually confront you or tell you what happened. They just slowly stop talking to you or act differently around you.

At some point, I wonder if I should just unfriend/unfollow them on social media. Not necessarily out of anger, but because it feels weird to keep someone on your friends list when it’s obvious that things aren’t the same anymore tapos kita nila ganap sa buhay mo.

Do you guys just leave them alone and let them stay on your friends list, or do you remove them eventually?

WOMEN ONLY: Relationship & Dating How to convince myself that I don't deserve that treatment?

6 Upvotes

Hi 27F, currently on no contact with the guy I dating for 9 months. He just said he is doing fine, and no follow ups after that. It's been 2 weeks. I was the last one who reached out and offered to discuss this once he is okay but I think I pushed him away.

I have experienced being ghosted before and it traumatized me so much. But experiencing it again makes me so numb. I thought I was healed from it, and loved myself better.

I still think he needs space and I still want to understand and I am willing to give him the time he needs to process his thoughts. I can't convince myself that what he did was wrong and I don't deserve it.

Mga binibini, nagpapakatanga na lang ba ako o ganito talaga ang magmahal?

WOMEN ONLY: Relationship & Dating Do you every worry about whether you'll get married?

53 Upvotes

At 31, sometimes I worry if I'll ever get married. So many people around me are in serious relationships, getting engaged or getting married and I feel like I'm getting nowhere in my dating life. I know that it's better to marry late and be with a great partner versus marry now and be unhappy with your partner.. but sometimes I feel like napagiiwanan na ako. Kayo din ba? And if you ever get those thoughts, what do you do or say to yourself to stop comparing?

WOMEN ONLY: Relationship & Dating Paano mo malalaman na seryoso na ang lalaki sayo?

3 Upvotes

I have a boyfriend and 3 months na kami officially but we’re dating for 8 months na. I am overthinking if seryoso ba talaga siya o hindi? I also think baka di pa siya nakakamove on sa ex niya because 1 month lang pagitan namin ng ex niya and almost 2 years sila.

Kaya napapaisip ako if seryoso ba siya kasi he never story me in his socmed, hindi rin siya nagpipicture pag magkasama kami, hindi pa niya ko napapakilala sa mga kaibigan niya, he never unfollow yung mga nakalandian niya before sa socmeds niya. Minsan nakukulangan rin ako sa pag initiate niya ng dates because busy rin siya.

Idk if seryoso ba siya or di pa siya nakakamove on or naghahanap pa siya ng iba. I just wanna know your thoughts.

WOMEN ONLY: Relationship & Dating How would you feel if your husband has a notebook about you?

116 Upvotes

My (27M) wife (27F) recently discovered 2 notebooks filled with information about her. I started this notebook the moment we started dating last 2018.

It’s filled with important information like blood type, general medical history, likes and dislikes, preferences, important dates, even mundane info like shoe sizes and more, and a few notes about her I have learned about her over the years. There is no financial records or numbers.

I don’t see what’s wrong with it but then again, the notebook isn’t about me. She has mixed feelings about it.

Edit: I should have added the parts where she has mixed feelings about it. She’s bothered by the fact that she didn’t know that I kept a detailed notebook about her since the beginning. I don’t know how to say this properly but the notebook may be about her but it is not for her?

This time, nakapanganak na sya. 8 months na yung baby. Bumalik na rin mens nya. And magkasabay na naman kami. May explanation kaya why or how?

WOMEN ONLY: Relationship & Dating When do you think it's the right time to reveal yourself through pictures with someone you've met online?

3 Upvotes

I'm curious about how other people approach this when getting to know someone online, especially when the connection starts with conversations rather than physical attraction.

At what point do you think it's appropriate to exchange pictures? Do you prefer to do it early on, so you know what the other person looks like from the beginning, or do you wait until you've established some trust and a genuine connection?

I'm also curious about whether exchanging pictures changes how you perceive someone or affects the connection you've already built with them.

I was thinking kung dapat ba nilapagan ko na siya agad ng mukha ko kahit maaga pa.

WOMEN ONLY: Relationship & Dating How to tell if it’s romantic or he’s just nice?

2 Upvotes

I’m 25, NBSB. I talked to people naman but it never lasts more than 3 months because I either get scared or feel like it’s ā€œwrongā€.

But I met this guy recently. He’s someone I see regularly. From a different department but our departments often have to work together. He looked tough and indifferent at first, but he was a normal amount of friendly when I first talked to him. I am used to talking to different nationalities, and his nationality is known to be cold and direct. But he was quite warm and while he was direct, he was never unkind to me, or if he felt like he joked too much (I don’t think he ever did) he would say sorry so fast and sincerely too.

So I like him. But I never know if he is nice in a friendly way or a romantic way. He’s usually mean in a friendly/funny way to our other coworkers but he is never like that to me. I thought it was because we weren’t that close to joke like that, but he would also tell me personal things/open up about stuff to me he wouldn’t tell other friends. We went out couple of times to get coffee, get lunch or dinner, or just walk around, but since I never really went out with anyone I don’t know what is romantic or friendly. He also seemed to not have met other people too. We never talked about past relationships and stuff just because we had other interesting things to talk about. But I don’t know, maybe it’s also because it’s nothing.

May time na inasar kaming dalawa pero nag-act ako na huh??? and I must have played it so well kasi naniwala lahat sa patay malisya ko 😭 Di nila alam di ko man lang matignan reaction niya kasi di ko kaya. Patay malisya din ako sa isang friend sa circle namin na nag popoke around trying to see kung may something nga samin 😭

But I don’t know, I guess just want to hear some opinions how you could tell it was romantic or friendly. I know that there’s no other way to know for certain but to directly ask but, the friendship is good GOOD and even if I know he’s the kind of person who would stay friends, I think I’m the one who would just not know how to act if I got it wrong 🄲 so I want to be careful.

So far here are the things that makes me think maybe it’s way past friendship (but maybe it’s just the crush goggles)
1. People tell me he was complimenting my abilities while I was away
2. He would text me separately to get food even if we have a gc with other friends
3. He starts to have the same vocab as me 😭
4. He also starts to have the same habits as I do (giving tissue to people before every meal šŸ˜‚)
5. Alam niya na kung di ko maubos yung pagkain, sakanya na šŸ™ƒ
6. If sa lunch break makakita kami ng bookstore, alam niya na titigil muna kami para icheck if may interesting na display!
7. He would remember little anecdotes I tell him and connect it to things we talk about (but he also does that for other people)
8. Always looking at me even when I’m talking to other people
9. Offering to help me with stuff (bare minimum tbh pero hindi kasi as warm yung culture nila talaga as Filipinos)

Idk, I feel like I’m overthinking it because of crush goggles but sometimes I really feel like it’s Something and I just need to stop my brain for always thinking about it.

So yeah, how could you tell it was not just friendly?

I've 26F been with my boyfriend 29M for a year and 5 months now. He's lovely, sweet, serious, and consistently puts in effort for the future. Getting married was mentioned before and our families are already asking when we'll marry.

I don't know how to begin a conversation about this. I don't know what to ask. Help. He's the first ever man I've introduced to my family and first long term boyfriend.

WOMEN ONLY: Family & Parenting Bakit 'yung mga nanay pa sisira ng confidence natin?

11 Upvotes

I got fat throughout the years, symptom ng PCOS ko. I admit napapabayaan ko naman talaga 'yung pagtaba ko. But in my mind, I feel neutral about what I see in the mirror. Minsan nga I feel sexy pa rin. Ang concern ko lang is my quality of life, kaya nag-eexercise naman ako. Pero hindi ko goal pumayat.

My mom brings it up often. Then I'll tell her I don't really care. Tapos bigla niyang sasabihin, "Pa'no kapag pinagpalit ka ni *BF*? Nakakita ng mas sexy? Mas maganda?"

Usually I just laugh, and say, "Edi break. Konsensiya niya na 'yon kung gagawin niya 'yun sa'kin." Or "He'll never do that to me."

Tapos she'll insist on that. So I'll just either change the topic or find an excuse to leave. Just this morning, binring-up niya ulit so tumayo na lang ako to get ready for work.

I know my self-worth. Alam kong whatever my BF does, it's gonna be on him. Never kong magiging kasalanan kung mag-cheat siya sa akin.

Hindi ko maintindihan sa nanay ko bakit pilit pine-place 'yung blame sa akin kung gawin 'man 'yon ng BF ko. Hindi ba siya masaya na she raised a confident, secure daughter? Pino-project niya ba sa'kin 'yung insecurities niya? Bakit? Hindi naman cheater ang tatay ko, ni wala ngang bisyo. Hindi ko alam saan nanggagaling 'yung mga sinasabi niya.

It's like she's trying to chip away at my self-worth and self-confidence. Eh sa secure nga ako sa sarili ko??

3 Upvotes

I kinda regret adding my women friends on FB. I didnt know that a ton of them post daily selfie pics in facebook stories until I added them. Some even accidental friend request sent and then they accepted.

Feels creepy for me to check it out when were actually not that close. I'm thinking of unfriending them for my peace of mind when checking out FB. For context, I'm closeted person by nature, if I can help it, I'd rather leave them alone and not disturb their peace.

WOMEN ONLY: Question Do you ever feel pressured to be beautiful/pretty? How do/did you overcome this?

16 Upvotes

I’ve come to a point where I’m stuck between not really wanting to dress up to the nines or sometimes I do but then feel like its never truly enough, bcs I feel like I’m just pretending or having to do so much just to look (a bit more) decent šŸ’€

Doing minimal is good until you see other people just look beautiful and wonder if its either your genes that are wrong or you just lack effort. And at the same time, dressing up is great until you feel like a pig with lipstick on šŸ’€

Everyone’s just always about the aesthetics these days, social media bleeding into reality which kinda makes it feel like you just have to follow the status quo. I don’t blame ā€˜em but even making friends these days parang need mo rin maging same nila - chasing after aesthetics.

Then I met her sa isang cafe, grabe super pretty niya in person like gandang ganda ako sa kanya (maputi, flawless, poreless, artista-like). Medyo nacompare ko sa self ko na kapit din sa filter para di magmukhang dugyot sa social media kase di naman ako kagandahan in real life hahaha kaya I got curious para san pa kaya yung filter niya e super pretty niya naman na.

idk if this is just a me thing, but i personally get turned off when a guy doesn’t know how to compose a message properly 😭 HAHAHAHA. like, i’m not expecting perfect grammar or anything, pero sana marunong naman makipag-converse nang maayos?

i find it attractive when a guy is articulate, knows how to express himself, and can actually hold a conversation. idk, maybe it’s because i’m a sucker for intelligence and good communication, but the way a guy constructs his sentences really does something for me 😭

am i being too picky or does anyone else feel the same way? HAHAHAHA

5 Upvotes

went out with my friends then bigla silang nag decide mag cr so kami ng other friend ko na medyo nakaka-something ko (landian pero no label and walang nakaalam sa circle namin) naiwan kaming dalawa. hindi naman akward pero ang tahimik namjn both, hindi kami nag uusap, I want to initiate a conversation pero hindi ko alam paano mag initiate like ano ba dapat sabihin or kapag were in the middle of our conversation, ano isasagot ko.

this is my problem sa sarili ko actually, I can’t hold conversation, kagaya kanina when may nakasalubong ako na kakilala ko sa mall nag ask s’ya ā€œdito pa talaga tayo magkikita, sino kasama moā€ and I just said ā€œoo nga po eh, friends ko lang poā€ tapos awkward laugh 😭
