What Treatments Are There To Help With Weight
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I struggle with my weight so badly. It's frustrating I eat small portions, exercise, and eat mostly non- processed food, I don't know what else to do I lost a bunch and then gained it all back and then some and I didn't do anything differently. I've also had 6 miscarriages. I'm so frustrated with my body and even with antidepressants I feel suicidal. People are so mean to me because of my weight and try as I might I just keep going up. I was on metformin and it made my depression and anxiety go… read more

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

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.

Femara Success?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

My husband and I have been TTC for 6 yrs. After finally finding a good dr and getting my PCOS diagnosis I have been on Metformin 1000mg twice a day. I had an HSG done, labs and US. Everything is now looking normal. I finished my Femara 2.5mg twice a day for 5 days last week and I have my ultrasound to look at follicles tomorrow. I’m so so anxious and hoping this is it. Does anyone have any Femara success stories?

Femara worked for me! It's my miracle drug 😍! I did many failed rounds of clomid this year and last until I switched to Femara. I've got Femara online (a way cheaper). My friend said just search on… read more

Femara
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone tried this after not having success on Clomid?

A myPCOSteam Member

Yes. I ovulated earlier with Femara and conceived twins on my second round. With Clomid, I had many unsuccessful rounds, even at high doses, and had terrible side effects. No side effects with Femara!

Hysterosalpingogram
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I have been officially TTC since July 2016. I started Clomid in May 2018 and just finished my 3rd cycle of it... and hoping for a BFP in a couple weeks!!! My obgyn referred me to a Reproductive endocrinologist who ordered a sperm count for my S.O., bloodwork and an HSG test for myself. Has anyone had an HSG test? I'm just wondering what all it entails and if it's super painful. She is also switching me to Femara next month d/t the horrendous side effects of the Clomid (severe abdominal pain… read more

I also preferred femara. I had a horrible case of the clomid crazies. I experienced bloating and pain with both pills but Clomid made me cry like an idot.

The HSG wasn't too bad. I had a very… read more

What Type Of Medicines Are Out There For PCOS?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I’m looking for different ways to help my PCOS.
I’ve taken metformin in the past with no luck. Im currently trying out inositol. I’m having issues with weight gain and infertility. I’ve tried metformin paired with several rounds of clomid. Still no luck. I’m trying to maintain healthy eating with exercise along with trying out metformin again. Still no luck.

Does Anyone Else Get Annoyed When They See Famous Woman Or Other Announces That She's Pregnant?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I hate it when I see that this female celebrity or that female celebrity is pregnant as it annoys the hell out of me as I'm like thinking "can't u keep ur pregnancy news to urself?" or "just share it with with your family and friends" as its not nice for ladies who are struggling to get pregnant due to medical conditions they have like us ladies on here as we have PCOS and we (well I for one) don't want to know about them becoming pregnant because u never or very rarely find out if a female… read more

Does Anyone Have Any Femara Success Stories?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I was just told by my OBGYN about 2 weeks ago that my labs indicated I have PCOS so she prescribed me femara to try to help my husband and I get pregnant. Has anyone here used femara and gotten pregnant? How long did it take for it to work for you? Did you have any side effects from it?
