No but I think I have a friend who is undiagnosed. What are the main symptoms? I think Bipolar disorder is characterized more so by long periods of mania, followed by a depressive state (weeks at a time). I think BPD is more so an extreme swing in moods, but at shorter intervals and probably not as severe. I would assume Bipolar 2 is similar to BPD, but I’m not sure. Lithium is used for Bipolar. What are they putting your sister on? Any meds?

She's mainly on kolonopin (if that's how you spell it) and off & on Lexapro. She can be really depressed for a few days, then manic a few days with unrealistic goals and expectations the next.

Hey hoping she is in dbt

Any women here with lean PCOS? I do not ovulate on my own (metformin regulated my periods but I still don’t ovulate) and am moving from three cycles of Clomid/IUI to IVF soon. No other issues have been found other than my PCOS (HSG shows tubes open). Curious about your experiences. And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.

My typical cycle length is 23-24 days. We have been TTC for almost 2 years and I am wondering if my cycle length has got to do anything with this.

Was just wondering if cycle length has gotten anything to do with fertility. Any stories of success with short cycles?

So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused.

I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.
