Hi Everyone,
I am feeling rather dejected at the moment and would appreciate your advice/support.
My only symptom is VERY infrequent periods (approx. once a year) and I am at a loss to treat it. My doctors have no idea and refuse to do anymore testing because they are convinced it’s PCOS. All hormone levels are normal, I have no cysts on my ovaries and no other symptoms. I’m taking inositol, omega-3, vitamin d, zinc and magnesium. I eat a balanced low-carb diet and no sugar/processed grains. Nothing is working. Any recommendations??
Edit: I’m aware of the dangers associated with infrequent periods so please no need to tell me about it. Thanks!! Also I'm not TTC.
I just want to share my experience here. Before I supplement with vitamin D my cycle was irregular, like 8-9 times a year. I did not consistently take it this year but I notice if I go though the bottle, my cycle is around 30 days (last for 2 cycles). Now my supply has finished and I'm at day 20 now and have not ovulated yet but approaching.
Additional info: I had ultrasound scan 2 years ago and right ovary is slightly enlarged. There was no pain but mainly discomfort (dull ache) that come and go. As of now there is no discomfort.
I was wondering if anyone else suffers from oligomenorrhea in addition to adenomyosis? I was diagnosed with endo and adeno by a Nook surgeon this past August, and was only getting my period about 8 times a year. It used to be only 4. Now that I've had surgery, every other period I have is just spotting for 2 weeks, not a full bleed. A GP I saw thinks these might just be breakthrough bleeding, not true periods.
The problem is, because my cycle is 3 months long, PMS lasts for a month and a half, not 2 weeks. Most of the symptoms are manageable and are even getting better since the surgery. However, the constipation and mood swings are not. :/
I guess I just wanted to know if anyone else suffers from extended PMS because of long cycles. For a while, I thought I couldn't have endo or adeno because my cycles weren't short.
Note: I have been tested for PCOS and the results were inconclusive. But my cycles are predictable (almost to the day), just very long, which I don't think is typical for PCOS?
I don't know WHY. I just know that I'm not bleeding when I'm supposed to. (At first I was overjoyed, ahahahah.) Also apparently this is why I'm fat and hairy and disgusting. I don't know.
But the way my doctor described it to me, I... I'm just very terrified. There's cysts on my ovaries or something... I don't know. Should I be worried? I don't want to ever have kids so that's not an issue... but I'm scared of surgeries... and I don't want to take hormone pills, because I'm naturally very gender-fluid and I don't WANT to become more feminine... nothing wrong with being feminine, I just DON'T...
Are they going to give me shots? Because I'm shit-all scared of needles too. I just wish it would be something I could ignore, because hahahah, I don't WANT periods. It's so unfair that not getting them is suddenly detrimental to my health... I don't know, ladies. Is there anybody else out there with experience on this thing? I feel so alone and scared.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

Heard they've been doing some shady business.
Put it on my bill
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
