So, I Finally Went To A New Gyno And Was Told It's Not PCOS, But Just The Generic Umbrella Term That It Falls Under. What Do I Do Now?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Fate, TX

I still have the weight gain and not able to lose it, I have been diagnosed with non alcoholic fatty liver, the cysts hurt so much, the dark rough ring around my neck is embarrassing it's also in my underarms and between my thighs, and I'm almost bald on the top of my head. It's frustrating to not have an actual answer for all of these issues. What would you do in my situation?

A myPCOSteam Member

Yeah. I get that. I think the thing she was mainly talking about was the cysts themselves. At least I have answers to most of my issues.

I Am Wondering On Average After Diet/health Changes, How Long Did It Take For Yall To Get Pregnant/have Labs Improve.

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Corbin, KY

I am 3.5 months into health eating and regular exercise. I've lost almost 20% of my body weight (35 lbs). I believe I am still not releasing eggs because my LH levels still never go above 1.5 or so during ovulation. Im trying to decide how long to wait before going back to redo labs and potentially ask for something medicated to stimulate my eggs to be released.

NOTE: I am not insulin resistant.

A myPCOSteam Member

Hi Quinne, have you looked into diets specifically for fertility? It's not the same as a regular healthy eating diet. And also cycle-syncing.
