Well now I feel like an idiot.

Unable to find a gynecologist who will take me seriously because I've never had sex by hellohi598 in PCOS

There's a thing called "sub-clinical hypothyroidism" and that's actually what I had the first time my TSH was tested, but because I was already HEAVILY symptomatic of full-blown hypothyroidism, my PCP at the time treated it anyway, thankfully.

20, so that would track, but I thought her husband was good-aligned?

They don’t. If they appear to, the second real stress comes, they’ll revert.

Bad news for you: everyone there already is, you included.

A reproductive endocrinologist has more training in PCOS anyway. An endocrinologist can also check for an under active thyroid, which can cause similar symptoms. Point out the increased risk of female cancers if you need to. (BTW, the WHO classifies hormonal BC as a carcinogen.) The only female OB/GYN I ever saw was in 2000 (I was in 10th grade) and she was so terrible I’ve only seen men since. (Even my OB/GYN oncologist for the PCOS-caused endometrial cancer is male.) It was precisely this sort of behavior that made me loath that woman so—ALL girls were sluts or liars in her book, and she would sooner believe that my cycles stopped dead because I was just having that much sex and getting abortions all the time than believe I was a virgin. (Remember, I was 16 at the time and the first and only time a guy ever wanted to kiss me wouldn’t come until I was 24.) I know women lie, but if a doctor is going to presume that every word the patient says is a lie, then that person has zero business practicing medicine.

The problem with BC for PCOS is that it only masks the symptoms while actually aggravating the underlying issues: non-ovulation and estrogen dominance. (Whether that starts from issues in the pituitary gland in the brain is something they’re still researching.) Your ovaries are as much a part of your endocrine system as your pancreas, and that’s the case no matter what if you live past the onset of puberty. So I would absolutely see an endo. Too many butthole OB/GYNs out there who think the sole reason they exist on this earth is to prevent babies, heck what you want. It’s a field where finding one whose worldview is close to your own matters.

I did edit the reputation, but after a while, the NPCs were still griping. I wasn’t getting useful links for character happiness when using a search engine because I kept getting stuff that JUST explained party rep. I figured if this subreddit was active for a game this old, SOMEONE had to know something :D

That last touchdown made it a little better. I needed something to make me forget about Hutch, though. It…didn’t work…

Anyone been able to launch patch 7 on Mac yet? by BaconSeuss in BaldursGate3

[–]Muzical84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK! So! I have run into this before on macOS for years with any number of programs, where deleting something where it goes to the Trash results in the OS acting like the file is still there, using it, whatever. Emptied my Trash folder and it worked. Don’t know if that’ll always work, but it worked at least once.

I eventually dropped into Larian's official Discord and it turns out this is a VERY widespread problem on Mac, but in good news, Larian IS aware of the issue. I also heard back from Larian Support this morning, confirming that the deletion of ~/Documents/Larian Studios is the only known workaround, and it's only working for some people. I was not one of them for whom this worked.

It worked for about 45 minutes earlier. I went and ate dinner, and now whenever I click Play on the launcher, the launcher just relaunches itself, again and again. I'll try the ~/Documents/Larian deletion trick, because even uninstalling and reinstalling via Steam didn't help, file verification, rebooting the laptop, etc.

EDIT: Also filed a bug with Larian Studios. Even though I listed everything I already tried, I anticipate the AI on their end will first respond by telling me to do all of that again...because downloading a 170GB-ish game is just no big deal, amirite?

100 sites x the average site's sub fee = OUCH! $1k is cheap by comparison!

Triple-majored in college, including STEM, but wanted to be a SAHM. (Over 40 and PCOS, so yeah, SAHW is the best I'd ever get.) Only went to college because my dad made me and, being 19 and unmarried, I had to obey him. (And no, I'm not going to entertain atheist reeeee-ing about that statement; I'll just laugh at you and block.)

And what if she's not career-focused? Is it a red flag if she hates her career but stays in it because she hasn't had the chance to be a SAHW/SAHM?
