Who Else Has PCOS D With No Insulin Resistance?

Hi Ladies, Has Anyone Ever Had A Period That Makes U Feel Really Bloated And Sick Even Though You've Only Had Something Light To Eat?
I had a sandwich, snack and a drink for my lunch a couple of hours ago and I've just started feeling sick and really bloated
I'm just hoping that I ain't getting another annoying cyst as I don't fancy another laparoscopic cystectomy as after the first one I had I'd had to stay in hospital for an extra few days as I'd got an infection afterwards either after the surgery or whilst I was in recovery
