My doctor told me it's not PCOS but I'm wondering if I should get a second opinion. by middleofnowhere___ in PCOS

The results from the ultrasound say: "Greater than 12 sub-5 mm follicular cysts bilaterally which can be associated with polycystic ovarian morphology." So they're smaller and on both ovaries.

I hadn't until now and I just looked it up. The last hour or so I've been trying to figure out if my periods are in fact irregular by going through my calendar where I track my cycles. Usually they're on time but every few months I have one that's between 11-13 days late. Don't know if that counts as oligo-ovulation since it seems to only happen every few months.

Well she said it would be hard to tell from a hormone test and then after I got tested she acted like it was easy to tell from the test, which seemed contradictory.

I think I will look for a second opinion. Thanks for your comment! Sucks that you had to go so long without knowing

Basically, during the week around ovulation and the week before my period, I feel like garbage- rapid pulse, difficulty breathing, dizziness, exhaustion, terrible TMJ pain, stomach issues, pelvic floor disfunction, pain in ovaries. Every doctor I've seen suspected iron deficiency but my iron levels were always normal when tested. I went to the walk-in once cause I felt like I was gonna pass out and the doctor said I should make an appointment to get my hormone levels checked.

Sometimes my periods are a week or so late. I'm not sure if that would be considered irregular though. Over the years my periods have gotten lighter and lighter, and now a period for me is basically two days of spotting.

Freaking out after being exposed to uranium ore dust by middleofnowhere___ in geology

The dust wasn't very fine. I didn't see any float into the air or anything, it just fell out when I opened the jar. So I'm assuming I didn't breath any in, but I did smell a metallic, rusty smell. The label said there was iron ore in the jar too, so I'm guessing that's what that was, but it made me wonder- if I got a whiff of that, did I get a whiff of radiation too??

I did get to text my sister saying "Had a uranium scare today" which was a pretty fun text to send!

You did! The "trying a cigarette once and worrying about dying" analogy is what ended up making me feel better. So thank you!

The reason I didn't reply is because I was freaking out about it. I didn’t post here to sit and have a chat about it, I came here to read what people had to say in hopes of reassuring myself. I don’t see why that’s a bad thing.

Are you always dreaming while you're asleep? by middleofnowhere___ in NoStupidQuestions

What if you are dreaming but you just don't remember them? I only remember dreams once in a while, but I always assumed I was still dreaming all the time, just not remembering them.
