I'm 22 yrs old, not trying to have a baby now but was told a fertility doctor is better to go to for diagnosis and treatment for PCOS and endometriosis. Any doctors and information would be greatly appreciated.
Just wanted to say, not sure if you’re still looking for a doctor but I finally went to go see the doctor that I posted the name/website. And she really cares…she’s literally the first doctor to look… read more
I have been off my birth control for 9 months now and I would still go months without a period. After months of no period I would have one light for a month or two. In most cases I've read about people don't have them at all. i have never hear of anyone having longer periods. Is there anyone else like this? Also, have you found that other women in your family struggled with PCOS.
in that case im not a doctor im just sharing experiences we are all different we all get different symptoms but i do get freaked out when i dont get my period being on birth control even though that… read more
Does anyone else get cold like symptoms before their period comes? I noticed this the first cycle I had since being on metformin, and I'm wondering if that means this is about to happen again...
Its like a stuffy nose, headache, head cold. I feel sick (not nauseous, but like i'm coming down with something), and sooo tired. This happened right before I got my first period on metformin (for like a week). I'm hoping this isn't going to happen every time...
Hey Bell.. it's harsh.. I used to bloat like I'm 6 months Preg.. and the fatigue and headaches .. but the pms symtoms have become more manageable recently since taking inosital...hope you feel better… read more
And acutane is such an intense option I’d more likely recommend spironolactone if you’re looking for a medication option! I’ve never taken it myself though but my friend is someone that really hates… read more
I know this is a delicate question since so many women are struggling with infertility. I'm certainly not trying to diminish or undermine the pain and difficulty that goes along with that.
I'm 33, been married for 5 years, and I just don't feel that draw. On top of the weight, depression, facial hair, it just makes me feel like something is irretrievably broken.
For many years I was not treating my PCOS and actually felt ambivalence about having kids or being around them. I had a friend that would stop everything at stores to talk to babies. It was so absurd… read more
Ive been told electrolysis is the only way to remove permnetley unwanted body hair, esp on the face, as laser is not long term and for people with pcos ive seem to see alot of failed laser stories, but ive seen alot of positive on electrolysis , anyone have advice?
I had electrolysis for years... no, decades! The removal was permanent for my few chest hairs, but my chin hairs always grew back. The worst part of that was I couldn't shave because the… read more
My hormones are balanced but I still deal with hirsutism on a daily basis. So much so that I shave (my face) every day, if not twice a day.

I've been reading about inositol, and the benefits for women with PCOS or severe Anxiety. I'm wondering who takes inositol and how it has worked or not worked for you. I'm also wondering if you did or didn't talk to your doctors about it first?
I’ve been taking Ovasital which has helped so much!!! It’s myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol. The research and study group had the best response to the combination and 40:1 ratio this supplement has.

Ever since ive gained weight from pcos I have the worst acid reflux. I take Omeprazole for the pain but i know i shouldnt be on it for long its very dangerous but man that pain is no joke. What do some of you ladies do about it naturally?
You can drink Alkaline powder (A Vogel make one in South Africa) not sure who would make it where you are.
Reduce caffeine, gluten, dairy and acidic foods in your diet.
How do you deal with hirsutism? I have hair all over my body and face, it really gets me down. Any advice on treatments or supplements to try?
I use to shave chin and neck everyday. I dont have 2 shave at all now. I use a natural serum and mask from Vie Line Cosmetics. Its not expensive either...I get it from www.vielinecosmetics.com
