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
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 had a thermal ablation in my early 30s had 2 children and a tubal ligation after the 2nd one the ablation helped amazingly.
Now just started victoza for pcos weight loss insulin resistance
So far my tests don’t show insulin resistance that I know of but the doctor was talking about putting me on metformin anyways. Anybody else benefitted from that? Did metformin regulate your cycle even if you didn’t have insulin problems?
Totally agree with you, its always best to ask those who are dealing with these things on a daily basis, than health care professionals who may not be going through any of this themselves! I always… read more
My partner and I are currently TTC and started our first round of fertility treatment, but unfortunately, it was unsuccessful. I know patience is key, but going through something like this isn't easy. I'm looking for a provider and team who are compassionate, sensitive, and patient-centered.
@A myPCOSteam Member Thank you for the prayers girl! On my TWW right now after my second cycle with the trigger shot. I have been really focusing on clean eating and limiting any processed foods… read more
I recently started using Nuvaring and i have found that my emotions are all over the place. This os the first birth control i have used in about 15 years so i dont remember how i did the first time around. I have been way more sensitive and crying like crazy. It is driving me insane. Please advise...
Yes, the hightened hormones really can effect someone emotionally. Think of a pregnant woman - she can easily be emotional in any direction.
For context I am a 27yr old female with long history of anxiety and depression, tried many different antidepressants over the years. Always been told since I was diagnosed at age 6 that I must just have a chemical imbalance in my brain. Fast forward to age 26, I got an IUD placed by my gyno who informed me I had PCOS. I have always been very active, I am lean and struggle to gain weight.
I have been on Spirolactone for about 7 months now and am seeing no difference, I haven't made any changes… read more
I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression since I was 13 it seems like I’d be in actual pain while I was dealing with emotional stress people say I’m overacting or somethings really wrong and it’s… read more
Anyone else NEVER get a period?
I only do when I take Provera.
I have already tried Metformin, Vitex, weight loss, exercise, clean eating. Still have never had a cycle on my own.
I just started taking inositol, so I'll give that a shot for a few months to see if that helps at all. Any other ideas? Is there anything you have been able to do to naturally get a period?
I’m the same.,.I haven’t had a period in so long and I’m trying to regulate my hormones so I can get one..I know of a YouTuber who had pcos and she didn’t have her period for 6 years die to pcos
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.
Website doesn’t work
Yes it working well for my sister. She is able to afford Ozempic as she has type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
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
