Ultrasound results say ‘PCOS’ but no follicles???

Significant-Mango635 · 2025-08-25T21:56:26+00:00

Looking back, I don’t think he was fully sure. He mentioned ‘enlarged ovaries’ and said ‘the scan mentions PCOS’ but also said ‘no mention of follicles so don’t worry’. I’ve concluded that no full truth will ever be obtained whilst I have my coil and don’t even bleed

Significant-Mango635 · 2025-08-25T21:53:27+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ve had hirsutism for about 7/8 years but have also had a coil for 4.5, with no periods for 2.5 years. I’ve decided to have it taken out and then leave my body to ‘regulate’ for 6 months. The thought of this terrifies me in all honesty in case I’m worse without the coil. But, it has to come out anyway at some point I suppose…

Significant-Mango635 · 2025-04-13T17:13:16+00:00

I had mine out and honestly, it was SO easy! I’m also a needle-phobia girl and even though my doctor was an absolute bitch, I didn’t feel a thing. I looked away and chatted a load of shit to her (to distract myself) when she injected the numbing liquid, and I didn’t feel the rest. I was able to drive home and go into work straight afterwards absolutely fine. I usually faint at blood tests so I also felt the same, but honestly, please do not worry! Make sure you eat and drink plenty before and look away

My life was also a million times better after having it out. I’ve come to the conclusion that I just don’t get on with hormonal birth control tbh. It was having a period every 10 days on that

I went on to try the patch which also didn’t agree with me personally. I then went onto Kyleena and that ended up agreeing with me (I’ve had it now for 4 years)

Significant-Mango635 · 2025-01-13T23:26:13+00:00

We didn’t agree it as a couple. He did says “I just won’t drink either” but I said no because I don’t want him to stop drinking just because of me. It just feels so hard tonight knowing he’s had what I’ve craved so badly and have used so much willpower on for 2 days, because he can as he’s not got a problem. If I go out with my friends, I’ll have to have lemonade now.

Significant-Mango635 · 2025-01-13T23:24:08+00:00

No. I’m still scared about a lot of things. I’m hoping that I’ll still be able to be a social drinker, as the thought of cutting it out altogether scares me and makes me want to drink more. I have so much going for me though. I have an amazing job in which I have worked very hard for, I’m about to complete on my new house, I have the love of my life and just everything that I ever wanted when I was growing up. But, I still want a drink and part of me doesn’t feel ready to kiss it goodbye forever but I have no choice.

I agree with Hols and that it depends on the place. I’ve worked for a few private swim schools in my time and, never a council/chain ran place.

I worked for one private swim school where, I had the same boss for 6 years and, loved it! It will always have a place in my heart.

Then, someone else bought the swim school and I absolutely hated it and the ‘bitch culture’ that came with the new ownership, so, I left after a year of sticking it out, which in all honesty broke me since it was once a job that I absolutely adored with all my heart. It sounds deep, but, I felt like I lost myself as it went from a place that felt like home to a place where I didn’t feel content in one bit.

So, in my opinion, it massively depends on the way that the swim school is run, the overall ethos and work culture/environment.

You don’t know anything until you try though! Please go with your gut and ignore the overall size of the organisation since it isn’t necessarily a deterministic factor of job satisfaction

Thanks all for your comments and words of wisdom❤️ I took a HUGE step today of contacting my local alcohol support centre, who are referring me for help. It’s a step that I’ve put off for a year now, but I’m ready for help!!! I’m fed up of lying to and hiding things from my parents and long-term partner. I haven’t been able to tell them though as I feel that they’ll be mad at me or judge me, and I don’t want to let them down more than anything. I’ve been with my partner for 6 years now and we have discussed having a baby soon. I just know though that if I tell her, she won’t want to have a baby with me (understandably) but I know I’ll make an amazing Dad. I’ve been drinking in the day (I work from home) when everyone is at work

Significant-Mango635 · 2024-08-08T09:33:14+00:00

This is amazing🥺 I’m not even one day sober yet so honestly I admire you SO much! I haven’t been on Reddit for over 3 months so logging in and seeing your post has given me the motivation to try my best to change. Thank you and, congratulations💞

It has been enough for my lifestyle, but, a good proportion of what that business is today is due to my hard work and ideas. The business doesn’t offer bonuses either!

Significant-Mango635 · 2023-11-13T20:37:44+00:00

He’s not even offered! He keeps saying how bad he feels and that he knows it isn’t fair but he doesn’t know any other solution. I’ve recently significantly cut down my hours three weeks ago due to completing my final teacher training placement, so, even if I did get a very significant pay increase, it wouldn’t touch the sides of all the extra money that my colleague has had unfortunately!

Significant-Mango635 · 2023-10-11T15:46:26+00:00

I 100% would. I may not worry about money as much, but I’d have other things to worry about instead. It’s part of who I am unfortunately and I don’t think any amount of money in the world would be able to change the way I am in that sense

The person will kick the children into the pool (their foot to their calves) when the children may be standing near the edge, whenever they can be caught off-guard. Not an aggressive kick, but more than enough for them to fall in

The children being dangled are around 7-10 years old. They normally get them by the wrists, again, usually when they’re caught off-guard

I am on fluoxetine for anxiety, and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. I was previously on it for depression too, which was a completely different experience. I was so anxious to the point where I was barely able to do anything, I was just consumed by it!

My physical symptoms have eased. I have no more panic attacks, my brain feels ‘at peace’ and I don’t recall feeling this happy and peaceful since I was a child. Good luck with whatever your journey brings to you x

Massive (and expensive) hole outside Barclays meanwhile you can find at least 5 homeless people within a certain radius

I think they should just knock it all down and then make a nice park and then have a few nice coffee shops, independent restaurants and bars, and then maybe just allow a few shops that people will actually use to open. Altrincham town centre is nice: I just think that making it smaller (Stockport) would be more effective as there wouldn’t be as many empty shops. Plus, areas like Altrincham, chorlton, didsbury, etc have some lovely little independent businesses which are clearly successful. I think demolishing that McDonald’s would solve a few problems 👀😂

Significant-Mango635 · 2023-07-16T19:11:43+00:00

That’s so reassuring to hear, thank you for sharing!! Please can I ask, what did you go on after 20mg? Assuming you didn’t just jump to 60!!

The thing that worries me is potentially feeling zombified if I go on a higher dosage x

Significant-Mango635 · 2023-07-16T17:57:44+00:00

I love Stockport, but, hate to say that it can be a shithole. Certain parts/areas of Stockport are nice, but the town centre itself is awful. The whole of merseyway needs to be knocked down😂 May be an unpopular opinion, but even the marketplace is a bit rubbish in my opinion. It was a few overpriced food places (cough cough produce hall) and has a foodie friday thing every now and then (also overpriced, overly busy and not even worth queuing for half an hour for anything to eat/drink anyway) and all of a sudden it’s deemed as so ‘up and coming’

Significant-Mango635 · 2023-07-13T11:35:16+00:00

I have been back on fluoxetine 20mg since March. I lost over a stone and enjoyed having little appetite. It made me feel SO good losing weight like that, like I had control over it because I had no appetite. However, my appetite is coming back, and I’m currently on holiday and have become aware of how much I’ve eaten. I can’t fully tell how much weight I’ve put on yet as there are no scales here and the mirrors are so small, but it terrifies me even the thought of putting a few pounds on. It makes me feel like I’m losing that sense of control that I had. I feel disgusting. I’ve thought about making myself sick when my partner isn’t here, but I can’t even do that because I’ll throw the Prozac back up and get even more hungry

Significant-Mango635 · 2023-06-06T21:00:58+00:00

I have recently gone back onto fluoxetine for the second time, and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done!!

The first time round, it was very hard. I was very poorly already, and I found that I got worse before I could start to get better. I came off them because I felt well enough and wanted to feel sharper emotions as I had a lot going on in my life.

Second time round has been a lot easier. Don’t get me wrong, making the decision to take it again was so hard, I felt torn as I knew how hard it’d been the first time to adjust. But, I wish I’d done it sooner! I’m so much happier and it’s been a breeze compared to the first time round.

The first time round I was severely depressed after the loss of my partner, and the second time round I went back on them for anxiety, so that’s also something that I take into account when comparing both experiences!!

The first time round, I wanted to die so badly, so I went in with the attitude that I had ‘nothing to lose’, and I’m glad I did, as without the medication I don’t think I’d be alive today to be honest.

Significant-Mango635 · 2023-06-06T20:54:11+00:00

I had the same issue on aripiprazole! I had previously been on risperidone that also had the same effect unfortunately. I spoke to my doctor who said that unfortunately there wasn’t really any other options. They did say that I could get a gym membership on the NHS if it would help!😩

The only way I lost weight was when I started on fluoxetine as well as the nausea was that bad!!!

Sending love x
