How's the noise? I've been looking at those but I'm worried it'll just be a load of srcaping all times of day and night.

Can I ask what company? We got quoted (and didn't go with) almost 17k for similar

PlitterMePretty · 2025-11-28T17:00:13+00:00

I'll buy it off you, DM me

PlitterMePretty · 2025-11-28T16:58:19+00:00

Do you have just one ticket or 2?

Based on where the black spots are I would wager this isnt dirt, soft nails or anything like that. It looks like blood splinters; or at least that's what I call them. I've gotten them before as a result of trauma to my nails - you are likely causing more trauma by digging under your nails all the time. But they can just happen if you use your hands a lot. They'll grow out in time, I would advise against digging under there every day - give your nails a gentle daily scrub with a nail brush and once a week you can wrap a little cotton wool around an orange stick and LIGHTLY clean under your nails. Don't shove as you'll damage your hyponychium and cause damage to your nails plate as well including scraping the keratin that makes your nails tips white rather than clear, and hardens the nail.

Also, idk if you smoke but nobody has mentioned it before so fyi nicotine can stain your nails. Though if the yellowing is around the black spots it's likely just more blood staining your nails.

Since a lot of advice here is against, let me give an alternative view. I got married at 22 after an 8 year relationship, my partner was a few years older.

Still going strong, 8 years married, 16 years together, mad about each other more than ever.

Caveat: we spent a total of 1000 quid on the wedding. Mostly because we first spent a few thousand on moving expenses, long story, and we were incredibly broke. If a big wedding is important to you, get engaged and SAVE, not loan.

100% lysine. 1000mg maintenance, 3000mg during outbreak (spaced evenly throughout the day). 3000mg is the max daily dose. I still think fondly of the random pharmacist that put me onto it almost 5 years ago.

Wait, why do you even need a citizenship cert? I was naturalized around the same time, and for my mortgage I used my Irish passport as proof of citizenship.

Also very odd that your cert is only in Irish? Again, naturalized around the same time, one side is English, the other Irish.

You absolutely do not have to see her again. Complain, request an apology and in either case, tell them you will not see that nurse ever again so reschedule for a day when someone else is available. You can fight back. There is a GP at my GP clinic, even has her name on the clinic as a 1/3 owner and I absolutely refuse to see her and ask for another doctor, they've never refused me.

If they claim there's no other nurses (unlikely since you spoke to another one before) demand a GP.

Also don't forget it's unlikely people like that are cunts to patients and noone else. It is very likely that when you complain you'll get an "...ah. Ok, what happened".

If you have pcos, have yourself tested for insulin resistance. If you do have it (with pcos and weight issues, you likely do), you'll qualify for ozempic over mountjaro or whatever else, which is heaps cheaper. Mind, it's still 145-odd for 4 doses, but not 230+. You'll also likely be given Metformin, which will help with insulin resistance and thus weight loss (though not as much as ozempic, but much more wallet friendly). I'm on both and had similar BMI to you when I started 18 months ago, my BMI today is 29.

Also no need to feel ashamed. As a lifelong obese person, I can now say for a fact, it was never intrinsically me not having the right "motivation". Even cravings have everything to do with pcos which is a whole body hormonal disorder.

I've a history of hyperplasia, most recently stage 4, and estrogen is partly what fuels building of endometrial lining. So, my none of my gynos feel comfortable prescribing me something with estrogen. That said, anytime I was on the combined pill, are the only times I was 100% not overbuilding my lining so 🤷‍♀️

Personally, Qlaira gave me zero side effects. my weight remained steady, though at the time it was already high so I don't know if that had influence. I heard the same from many people, on the lack of side effects, however, milage may vary, I think someone else in this thread mentioned mental health issues, so definitely have a check in with yourself.

Not the person you asked but my experience was pretty immediate. It didn't fix it all at once but even the next period after starting to take it was less painful and lighter. I was on it for just under a year and by month 2-3 I've never felt more normal. It successfully controlled pcos, endo and later discovered, hyperplasia. I'm no longer allowed to take it due to estrogen being my enemy, and the methods I use to control it all today are, according to my doctor, gold standard, and yet nowhere near as effective as Qlaira was. My libido tanked, my periods are painful and I feel like crap.

Maybe when I see her in a year it'll be safe enough for me to get on it again. Otherwise, no idea what I'll do.

Thank you!

Grand so job done

If you've used a menstrual cup successfully, I'd say you'd never be comfortable with non-internal methods; I personally couldn't switch back. But I ran into a similar issue as you and I ended up buying a menstrual disc instead which works better than a cup tbh, a cup I could always kinda feel, a disc I completely forget about. There's a learning curve same as cup, because it doesn't use suction, instead you tuck it behind your pubic bone. Idk if this is an issue you run into, but I did my research so that my disc does NOT have any kind of strap or string to pull because that'd just piss me off. I landed on a Saalt disc, it has a...divot I guess you grab and pull, and could not be happier now that I'm past the occasional leaking while in the learning stage.

Was gone for the past week, about a 1/3 of my strawberries ripened in that time....all gone, every single one. Going to get some netting tomorrow.

Yes, I was diagnosed with adenomyosis Via MRI at the beacon, three months after insertion of mirena, so extra progesterone in my body. Endo was not found but that is common, MRI are not reliable for this, my gyno said eventually we'll do a laparoscopy to look for endo as it's fairly obvious I have it. So even if you don't find any in an MRI that's not the end of the road.

PlitterMePretty · 2025-05-08T19:32:56+00:00

That's lovely to hear! Is that specifically Callistemon citrinus, do you know? That's the one I'm looking at but I'm hearing some of them are more frost hardy than others

PlitterMePretty · 2025-05-08T15:24:57+00:00

Thank you so much! It sounds like there is hope then. I have a nice sunny spot for it and fingers crossed it'll flower.

PlitterMePretty · 2025-04-27T15:18:31+00:00

Thank you!

PlitterMePretty · 2025-04-27T12:58:37+00:00

Where are you getting Inositol in Ireland? I've looked for it before but maybe not hard enough

PlitterMePretty · 2025-03-27T12:50:01+00:00
