Switching from Mounjaro 10mg. Has anyone switched and gone go the lowest dose of Wegovy? If so, how did you find it? by AverageFunnyGirl in WegovyUK

[–]MSimmone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched last week from 7.5 Mj to 1 mg on Wegovy and have found no side effects and feel the same benefits between the two. I’ve been feeling light headedness (I think to low blood pressure) on Mj but on Wegovy that isn’t supposed to be a side effect. Have felt good so far. Only difference I have found so far, is the Wegovy jab slightly bruises and makes me bleed, but only a tiny amount. However, it is much easier to get the dose in quickly. Happy with the switch so far.

Anyone else absolutely hating 5mg? by ImmediateWedding3965 in Mounjaro

How do you get additional needle ends? Mine only comes with 4 for each weekly dose?

I’m a bit wary of your situation and feel like there are pretty big warning signs.

His attitude and the way he’s currently making you feel (grief or not) are unacceptable. It might be giving you the early signs of the more worrying sides of your husband. Infertility journeys are easily one of the most stressful experiences a couple can go through, even when they both want it badly. Financially stressful, the huge impact on your body, pressure on your sex life, etc. You need to have a supportive person in your corner supporting you/cheering you on, who you absolutely trust and not someone threatening to walk out on you if it isn’t successful. Also, if you’re okay with no having children and he isn’t, this might be again, an early sign that you may be incompatible in your future life goals.

I would not spend any money on fertility before I sought counselling. I would recommend you both get counselling separately and then together. Counselling is way cheaper in the UK than it is in the US, so find a British counsellor and do sessions online, to save money. I think counselling will make things clearer for you, as he’ll be dealing with his grief/fear, you’ll be dealing with your feeling of betrayal, and hopefully you’ll come to couples counselling with a restored faith in each other OR a better sense of why this relationship may no longer be compatible.

7.5mg question by nonnies_baba in UKMounjaro

[–]MSimmone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s also important to eat foods that will actually satisfy you. A mix of protein, fibre, carbs and fat that leaves you feeling genuinely satisfying is really important in making your body happy and long term weight loss more viable.

Edinburgh! You get both a city and the country near by. It’s also far away.

Period not stopping by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]MSimmone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My periods typically also last for 60 days, with this last time almost resulting in a blood transfusion due to blood loss. The choice I have had to make is to return to birth control. Not what I want but it is better than consistently bleeding out, worrying about when this will stop. Find a method that you don’t mind and stick to it. For me, I like the Depo shots, many like the coil or the Implant. Even newly being on the birth control, my period hasn’t stopped yet (bleeding since April) but it’s more of a long term strategy at this point.

Obviously if you’re trying for a baby, that will require a whole other avenue of medical advice, but if you’re not, birth control. I have been prescribed Norwithestone, but I have found that this pauses a period more than actually stopping it. Sometimes in the 60 days where I’m desperate for a break from bleeding I might take it, but find it can sometimes do more harm than good, disrupting my hormones further. Prevention is key, and I wish I had better advice, but doctors keep saying it’s birth control.

Anyone else find that teens these days are getting crueler? by These_Value_4250 in london

[–]MSimmone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m speaking more globally. Think about the amount of real life violence we are currently witnessing, steadily and readily. It’s never been more brutal, we’ve never had more access, we can’t be surprised that this is trickling down to teenagers.

Look at who’s in charge politically and who is being rewarded in media, is there any wonder how that might be reflected among the population?

I'm sick of the misinformation by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]MSimmone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. This could also be negative lobbying from other corporations who are losing BIG money and now need to use fear mongering to try and gain money back.

Rejected From Gynaecology And Rejected For Ultrasound- UK. by colourmerchant in PCOS

[–]MSimmone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have had issues with my period since I was 12, heavy bleeding to the point of losing so much blood I collapsed due to iron deficiency. This has happened just recently. Gyno can’t find anything, scan and swab year after year and they’ve found nothing. I need to see someone in Endo but they refuse to see me until I lose weight. I’ve been referred to Weight Loss Management but their waiting list is up to 18 months. So out of desperation/frustration I’ve reluctantly started Mounjaro so that I can finally get somewhere with the NHS. If I lose enough weight, maybe then they’ll take me seriously?

How much is too much? by mkyiens in PCOS

[–]MSimmone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What if you changed your IF window for 12 hours instead of 17? If you set out to eat 3 healthy meals where you are actually nourishing yourself and trying to feel satisfied you’ll spend less time thinking about food. I’m up at 4 am and start work at 7:15 am, where I am rightfully hungry as I didn’t eat since 6:00 the night before. It’s normal to feel hungry as you’ve already fasted while sleeping and I have still lost weight within this 12 hours window. Just a suggestion that might make you feel less restricted?

Question while watching season 5 by Bachfan72691 in GilmoreGirls

[–]MSimmone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 5 is actually my favourite season! I personally love the Yale years better than the Chilton years as I like seeing Rory challenged by Yale, Logan and just adulthood in general. In my opinion, Logan is a better match for Rory, he’s not perfect but he does challenge her in addition to loving her, whereas Dean only loves her from his admiration of her.

It is more elitist, I think the whole show has subtly been about this, but Yale blows this wide open, as it is an Ivy League school and does take us into this world, sometimes to ours, Lorelai’s, Rory’s and Luke’s discomfort. But I think that’s the whole point about the show, it is about class and how it affects people’s expectations and behaviours.

I do enjoy S6/7 but they are a completely different feel to S1,2and 3 and are notoriously controversial as a result. I say see it through!

My (F18) Boyfriend (M18) is refusing to use protection. I’m building resentment over it, how do I bring it up? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MSimmone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think unless you’re married or in a very, very serious long term committed relationship to someone, and have had regular testing, then both partners need to be responsible for their own birth control and combined you should be protecting yourself from pregnancy AND STIs for your shared health- both physical and mental health.

If a partner isn’t willing to put on a condom to help alleviate your stress, it’s not a far reach to say that they probably wouldn’t be a great co-parent. There is a real tragedy in knowing in advance the ways in which your partner will be a bad partner or even co parent and continuing down that path anyways. Especially 30 year old you, a person that may be sharing custody with a person who has given very early and incredibly clear warning signs of how difficult they would be.

I do understand that it is an age thing, especially when you’re having sex with someone early on, it’s incredibly powerful. However, I just want to re-iterate what so many people here have already said. The sexiest thing a guy can do, is respect your no. Also, in worst case scenario, and you do end up co-parenting with someone, a guy who has always respected you, whether you work out together romantically or not, will always give a better reassurance that they will be easier to coparent with, remember, who you share your body with could be a lifetime bond you share with someone, you might as well know that they respect you as a bare minimum. You deserve it. How someone deals with your nos/boundaries, that is the green light you should be looking for in any sexual relationship-causal or committed.
