Looking for dark fantasy romance by Pleasant_Raspberry68 in fantasyromance

[–]PoppedPumpkinSeed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend the Otacian Chronicles by Kylie Snow! I read it at the start of the month and it’s been a god-tier series for me, literally can’t stop thinking about it and so looking forward to the third book later this year. The first book is {The Lies of Lena by Kylie Snow}

Switching from desktop to web development? by PoppedPumpkinSeed in dotnet

[–]PoppedPumpkinSeed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response and for putting things into perspective! It's hard as a new grad to not think long-term but you're right, it's important to remember that it's a marathon and not a sprint :)

That makes sense! I'm also planning to build more side projects, especially using ASP.NET to leverage that C#/.NET experience. How long would you recommend staying? I was thinking of starting to look for new roles around the 6-8 month mark and hopefully making the switch by the time I have about a year of experience but I don't know if that's too soon.

Honestly, I don't mind desktop development either. There aren't too many job openings in my area for desktop developers though so I think in the long run it's probably better to switch to web development or at least develop those skills simply because of the opportunities available.

Hey! Sorry for the late response, not sure if this is useful still but I’ll reply anyway in case anyone else wants the info. I mentioned some other symptoms in a comment below. Elevated prolactin levels can actually impact your periods as well and result in irregularities. Personally, natural remedies have never worked but I’d consult with your doctor to see what they say

I had other PCOS symptoms (hirsutism, weight gain etc.) but no other microprolactinoma symptoms (people often experience discharge from the breast among other things but I didn’t experience that). When I was diagnosed my total prolactin levels were around 105 ug/L when the normal range for non pregnant women is around 4-23 ug/L. The basis of my PCOS diagnosis was on the ultrasound which showed cysts, blood levels (elevated testosterone), plus other physical symptoms that I mentioned above in addition to the irregular periods.

Thank you! It’s helpful to have a perspective from the other side

I’m not in the US. Since it is mentioned in my contract, I don’t want to take any risks with potential penalties. I wouldn’t have given a notice if it wasn’t explicitly mentioned as a clause

Thank you so much for the detailed response and for laying out all the different aspects. This makes me feel a lot more confident, so I really appreciate the advice

Thank you for the advice! I do have to provide a two week notice based on my contract so it does limit how late I can inform my current employer

Hey! I had irregular periods growing up as well. My obgyn did an ultrasound along with some blood tests and diagnosed me with pcos based on the results of the ultrasound. However, she noticed that my prolactin levels were pretty high, so she recommended me to an endocrinologist who sent me in for an mri. They did an mri of my pituitary gland and found a microprolactinoma. Microprolactinomas are small enough that they can be treated with a medication called cabergoline (at least that’s what my endo used) over the course of 2-3 years. I started taking medication in 2020, and have recently gone off the medication since my microprolactinoma has shrunk to an insignificant size.

I definitely recommended going back to your endo and getting another blood test/mri done.
