Who all has been diagnosed with PCOS and have been prescribed Metformin? Has it worked as far as achieving pregnancy!?! Was an OBGYN the doctor who prescribed the medication to you? I don't have any pre diabetes or diabetes period. I'm not extremely over weight I'm 4 foot eleven inches tall and weigh 140 lbs. so I'm not extremely skinny but not obese either. My fiancé doesn't want me to take the medication however I got ahold of some and have heard that the medication has been used to treat… read more
YES! Was diagnosed with PCOS (kind of off-hand/casually years ago) I didn’t pay much attention because after adjusting my diet my period returned to regular timing for many years until I had a period… read more
Recently (finally/properly) diagnosed with PCOS. Overwhelmed to say the least but atleast I have a diagnosis and starting point. I am looking for, and desperately needing dietary suggestions that may be helpful because from what I’ve read it is a good starting point to get certain symptoms under control. I’m having trouble finding anything online. Please help! Thank you everyone 😊😊

I seem to bloat up after eating. It doesn't always happends, but it seems to appear when I'm more stressed out. It can get quite intense... I can lose up to one pant size in 24h and then gain it back in a couple days time. I tried keeping a food vs bloating journal, but it just happens whenever. I even started recording the days event to try figure what was going on, bUT still no clue... I was wondering if it happened to anyone else, and what they had done to deal with this, as I am getting… read more
Yes…this is what I’ve been struggling with most of all for the past 6 months…I can’t seem to escape the bloating. The diet I follow HELPS but does not totally fix it. Sometimes it just hits me out of… 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 is rare in women under 35 however, upon receiving the diagnosis yesterday I have learned that it PCOS have much higher chance of developing it. Also women w/PCOS who develop Complex Hyperplasia w/Atypia are at a approx. 50% higher risk for developing endometrial cancer (scientific studies varied on the exact percentage). Anyway, while I wait for my appointment with the gyno oncologist I just wondered if any of you have been through this and what your journey had been like.
And as far as sleep goes, I work nights. I try to keep my schedule on nights for the most part as it's what is best for my mental health. My body is best between 10 pm and 3 am I know super weird but… read more
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
Does anyone have any recommendations for products to clear jawline/chin acne? I'm trying to conceive and have been off birth control for almost a year now and my skin is breaking out and I get white heads and blackheads constantly now. When I treat the pimples, my skin gets red, itchy, and flaky instead so it feels like a losing battle. I need something vegan and cruelty free and safe for conception/pregnancy. Any advice?
Taking inositol powder decreased my acne. I was having a lot building up under and on my jawline and chin. Inositol got rid of most of that for me , brought my period back and decreased my cravings… read more
I struggle with my weight so badly. It's frustrating I eat small portions, exercise, and eat mostly non- processed food, I don't know what else to do I lost a bunch and then gained it all back and then some and I didn't do anything differently. I've also had 6 miscarriages. I'm so frustrated with my body and even with antidepressants I feel suicidal. People are so mean to me because of my weight and try as I might I just keep going up. I was on metformin and it made my depression and anxiety go… read more
