Hey ladies,

Thanks lovelies and have a great day

So i was told by my gyno that anyone who has pcos can develop Endometrial Cancer. Great news i thought!! She said i should go on birth control to thin the lining of the uterus which will decrease chances of getting cancer. However- there are alot of side effects with bc that scare me..i.e- blood clot as one example. Then someone said see a endocrinoligst they can regulate your hormones. Im just so confused! I want to correct the issue but i just dont know which way to go? Does anyone else have… read more

At work I am finding myself doing off phone work more than on phone work and I am trying to train myself to not eat unless it's my breaks, I am struggling with this and I have brought in fruit to snack on rather than sweets and crisps but I want to get out of this habit can anyone suggest anything I can do to help or is it just my lack of will power holding me back??
Anything would be helpful.

Mine is pushing for one to controll the bleeding but wont say how we will control the cysts and pain. Im 47 so no worries about not having kids (dont have any either)

I feel as if someone is stabbing me to death in my pelvic area with each step I take. I have been experiencing this for over a year and it's awful, I have to limit my walking distance even in my own home and sit down often.

I was just talking to family members about going out to eat for 2 of my family members birthdays and I just couldn’t deal with it so I stomped off and went to another room.

I feel so alone. No-one I know has PCOS and my doctors are useless
I was diagnosed in April 2015 and was given very little information about it and was told to lose weight to manage it, I've done various different diets/ life style changes and nothing ever happens, I lose a bit and then gain it back again. I've seen a dietitian and she's looked through a food diary and asked me how I cook my food and she can't see anything wrong with the way I eat. I walk a lot of places, I love walks, but… read more

Has anyone gotten pregnant while on birth control pills? If so, can you tell me your symptoms? Ive been on birth control for about 6 months.. but my period was like spotting. Im also very nausous, heartburn crazy, lower abdominal and pelvic pressure, headaches, & sore lower back and neck.

So I recently got diagnosed with PCOS a little shy of a week ago, and I started non-estrogen birth control to help regulate my cycles (the most recent period I was on lasted 2 months 😬) and it completely stopped the bleeding—thank goodness. I have however been feeling more emotional lately with no other symptoms. I do have depression and GAD, so maybe it’s affecting that? I’m not really sure. Has anyone else experienced this?
