    Thought of more links

    I tried many recipes from Ashley Thomas's blog - https://myheartbeets.com/ham-lentil-soup/

    My dd made this for all her cousins https://myheartbeets.com/baked-spaghetti-casserole/.

    Look at the category list on the left side.

    The hive is a wealth of information, please give me your thoughts.

    22 y/o female on hormonal birth control pills is not having periods at all. Ultrasound of ovaries came back normal. Blood tests gave normal thyroid levels.  The only thing that ever came up in any tests is that her triglycerides are elevated and not budging. The woman is of healthy weight that has been stable for years. She is physically active, vegetarian/mostly vegan with a very clean diet cooked almost completely from scratch. (Nutritionist friend suggested addressing the triglycerides by increasing healthy fats to increase HDL and improve ratio).  She supplements vitamins and extra B12. No other medications.

    GYN suggested seeing an endocrinologist to rule out PCOS. This seems unlikely to me because ovaries look fine on U/S, weight is healthy, no family history, no other symptoms of any kind. What would the endo check? What would the consequence of a diagnosis be?

    What other reasons could there be for lack of periods? What tests would you recommend? 

    Thanks

     

    I know you are focusing on pcos but I would also look at the bcp. Some of them do change formulations,Can you ask your pharmacy if anything changed with it? 

    Don't discount the small stuff.There are certain Bcp's that can do that-can you try changing that and seeing if that helps?If you have specific questions feel free to pm.My dd is younger but we have been down that road. I agree with what white hawk said up thread. GL

    Who was the mom here from years ago...5 kids...oldest was a DD...She loved goats so they moved to an area for the DD to have goats. DD started a goat's milk soap business, and maybe pure goat's milk, too.

    But the DD had originally NOT been planning on college and then ended up going. So she had her goat business as well as started college...

    Anyone remember?

    I know who you are talking about unfortunately cannot remember her name.She was from Texas.Will check my old bookmarks for the website!

    Have you ever been to a yarn festival? There are a few coming up in the next couple of months - Interweave Yarnfest in Loveland CO ; DFW Fiber Fest in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area ; Stitches West in Santa Clara CA

    I've never been but have always wanted to!! It looks like it would be so easy to enjoy myself and yet not have to talk to anyone (although talking about knitting would be fun!). 

    If this is your thing ,look into the yarn fests.I live 5 minutes from the Dfw Fiber fest,It is a wonderful event.DD and I go every year.Its absolutely the best if you work or want to learn to work with yarn.

    DD is a crocheter and she is always the youngest there.The classes are really very well organised and there are 2 hotels right across the convention center.Lots of places to eat as well.You can be alone and enjoy the whole experience. GL

    Need gift ideas!
