So the doctor had done a ultrasound on me on my first appointment seeing him and informed me that "it looks like my uterus lining is thick" so he prescribed me with 200mg progesterone for 10 days to thin out the lining and have my menstrual regulated. He mentioned that it should regulate my period which i havent had since age 22 and i am 33 right now. So i was excited thinking im about have my menstrual regulated again and have a chance to conceive which ive been trying the last 13 years with… read more
Hi! I would first like to comment that it's odd he took what you said during your virtual meeting as a positive sign. If you took 200mg of progesterone for 10 days, you should have bled 1-3 days… read more
My pcos causes cravings weight gain and weight loss issues and docs claim I’m overweight for family planning
I just started it a few days ago and so far so good. I will say that I have had tummy issues 2/3 days but it hasn’t been too much to handle!
I had some stomach pain and nausea, mostly at night, but it only lasted about 2 weeks! My most recent labs showed it has helped my hormones after 6 months on it so far. They're not perfect, but it's… read more
I sometimes feel nauseous and get really hot and then it goes away.
I do too, but I don't know if it's related to my PCOS, which I doubt or if it's because of either my type 2 diabetes or something else.
It started 4 months ago, it was my normal 5 day period with all my normal mood swings, cramps, etc; then 10 days later, I start spotting. It's typically old blood (brown, stringy clots, rarely heavier than needing a size 1 pad or panty liner). This happened for 3 months. This month I had my period like normal but I haven't stopped bleeding. No break in between. It's no longer period blood but the old stuff. I'm on day 17 straight of bleeding. I'm taking my meds (metformin, spironolactone… read more
I am sad to say that I understand this problem. I have been bleeding every day since December 8, 2022. From my experience, it is important to talk to your doctors about it and push for tests. I… read more
On the heavy days I lose clots that range to tiny all the way to 1/3 the size of my palm. I’m gay so there’s no way I’m miscarrying.
I understand this problem. I have been bleeding every day since December 8, 2022. I similarly have clots that are varying sizes, similar to yours. It is scary, and I am so sorry you are going… read more
I sought help from neuroscientists at various hospitals. However, they seemed skeptical, implying that I'm too young to be facing such memory problems. I'm starting to wonder if there's a relationship between PCOS and cognitive function, especially since hormonal imbalances, like those caused by testosterone, are known to affect memory.
Oh and the studies I’ve read do mention the correlation of hyperandrogenism/elevated testosterone with cognitive issues so I think your assumption is completely accurate
Just wondering if there are any supplements that some would recommend over others cause it seems promising? I’d love to hear opinions on what works! Thank you!
Thank you @A myPCOSteam Member ! Good to know! Is there any particular inositol supplement you recommend? I take magnesium too, used to take l-theanine but ran out and been meaning to get more haha
Hi Ladies. So I got diagnosed today. My doctor wasn't very helpful. I don't know what type of PCOS I have and wasn't aware that there were other types of PCOS. I do a lot of research into things and had questions to ask. But when I got in there today and he told me the news I froze. I still don't really understand this Insulin thing. I have excessive hair growth on my face. Does anyone have any tips for that? That is my main concern at the moment.
Yeah that’s true I heard that helps
Did you experience it?
How bad was it?
Did it affect your daily life?
How do you know it was because of your PCOS?
Did it get better with treatment?
And to what extent did it get better?
Hahaha well I’m glad I made a little sense. And that also makes a lot of sense for stress to be causing/worsening cognitive difficulties as well. Oogly boogly life in general seems stressful! lol. And… read more
