Wegovy Or Ozempic?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

Hi, is anyone taking either of these for weight loss? My doctor wants to get me down in weight as I am obese now. At least 50lbs by next year. She suggested wegovy. I am waiting to decide to go on this until I see an endocronologist again. I am 45 right now and all methods of weight loss have been harder than before. I had a baby at 41. I started taking a low dose of inositol for the insulin resistance and have cut back on eating and watching the carbs and haven't lost anything. However… read more

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

My doctor recommend a laparoscopic ovarian wedge resection on both ovaries. As well as looking for and possibly excising endometriosis. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2017 but have had symptoms since my first period at 10 years old. So, this has been a loooooooong journey for me. I am 26 now and finally feel like I am being listened to by my doctor about the pain, discomfort, and overall poor quality of life.

Mirena And PCOS. Bleeding Suddenly
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

Hello,

so this is my first time with mirena and i was given it to help ease my PCOS/adenomyosis/fibroid symptoms. I'd have spotting sometimes but it would normally go away that day.

But i'm at like, the 10 month mark, and this week i've had a very light bleed on and off for about 7 days with some mild cramps (either normal mild or based on what i used to get) and i'm wondering if that's normal?

My "cycle" before this was like 2 months non stop then like 6 months off. no real consistency… read more

Anybody Notice Emotional Changes When Starting A New Birth Control?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

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...

A myPCOSteam Member

Yes, the hightened hormones really can effect someone emotionally. Think of a pregnant woman - she can easily be emotional in any direction.
