So when I read that metformin causes gas/upset stomach/diarrhea they weren't kidding. It's been about a month now and I want to know...am I going to be plagued with diarrhea forever???? It doesn't seem worth it. I'm scared to eat because I don't know what's going to make my upset stomach and diarrhea even worse than it already is.
It takes awhile but sometimes the side effects come back
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.
I tried getting an appointment with fertility specialists cause I was also told the same thing…they all kept saying “we can’t see you unless you wanna have a baby right now” but maybe you’ll have… read more
I was diagnosed PCOS 4 yrs ago. I am 70 kgs and doctor advised to bring down to 60 kgs. I have tried some diet plans but didn't yield any result. Lost heart and stopped practising. Now that I am married i want to make myself fit before i plan for pregnancy. Badly need help in this. Any effective weight loss suggestions friends?
I have found the paleo diet and it really helps. I can control my blood sugar and lose weight in a healthy sustainble way.
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
I just got diagnosed with PCOS. We have been TTC for over 3 years now. My doctor wants to put me on letrozole and metformin together to try and induce ovulation. Was wondering if anybody had any success stories, tips, bad side affects. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
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
I am going to take progesterone pills for 10 days to see if my cycle can regulate. I’m on the lowest dose.
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.
… read moreI am on minastrin and just learned some women experience depression with it and that it doesn't really help with pcos symptoms like others might. That explains so much! I want to talk to my doctor but wanted to get some ideas/opinions first.
Nothing has really helped me as far as birth control. I personally experienced a lot of anxiety and depression with copper iud.... has anyone tried the arm implant ?
Has anyone ever been on Buspirone for anxiety? Pros and Cons of it? Thanks in advance!
I started at 150mg for depression and it didn’t seem to be doing the trick so I had it increased to 300 mg. It actually gave me anxiety. It’s gone away as the time has gone on but it was rough for a… read more
