Really was expecting weightloss, even a few lb. I've been taking 2000mg daily for nearly 8 months. 1000mg aftee breakfast, 1000mg after dinner. I'm considered obese according to BMI at 5'4, 218lb, in case this info matters. I also eat under 2000 calories daily, most days about 1800. No reatrictions yet on dairy, sugar, gluten... though I don't go crazy with them.
I am struggling too with losing weight. I just started taking my metformin again 500mg on top of going with a low to zero carb diet (Keto diet). Will see if I have any progress.
I started my birth control September 16 and am not supposed to start my period until October 7th but started today... is this normal? I know PCOS affects cycles but I thought my birth control was supposed to regulate my cycle? I just want to know if anyone else has experienced this.
I found it took 6 to 12 month to regulate things but it's now that I have gorn off the pill 8 years ago I am still fairly regular

How do I know whether I’m tired during the day because of fatigue due to PCOS or because of bad sleeping habits?
If you take a probiotic and or prebiotic supplement, what is the supplement name?
Was diagnosed with hypothyroid and PCOS. Periods are not heavy but have lasted for 2 months at a time for the last 3 times. Ultrasound didn't find anything, and Doctor's say my levels are "normal" now after being on thyroid medicine and metformin for 6 months but my period won't regulate. Anyone else have something similar?
Thank you so much! It helps to hear other people have experienced it too!
I hate the side effects of the birth control pills especially now that it's warming up, my veins swell horribly! I would really appreciate the advice
I couldn't agree more!!
At my next doctors appointment I'm definitely going to talk to her about going natural
What products or methods have worked best for clearing your skin? My husband and I are trying to conceive, so birth control, spironolactone, etc aren’t options for me right now and I’d like to try to avoid a medication approach anyway. What’s worked for you?
Also in the market for new foundation and moisturizer refommendations!
I try to avoid anything with fragrance and I found this naturally scented face wash called Avalon Organics face wash with lavender and prebiotics. It's the best thing for my skin!
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.
