Why Is The Doctor Percribing Me Spironolactone?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

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

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.

I'm Having 2 Periods A Month, This Month It Still Hasn't Stopped. Help!
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

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

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

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've Been Experiencing Significant Memory Issues .Wonder There Is A Link Between PCOS And Cognitive Function?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

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

Recently Diagnosed
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

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.
