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

Victoza
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone know of a Nashville, TN doctor that will prescribe victoza for PCOS? So far, every doctor has told me they won't prescribe it because it is not indicated for PCOS. My friend had a lot of success with victoza but her dr is not taking any new patients. Please help!

Any Experience With Victoza?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

So I work out like crazy but wasn't losing any weight so my endo put me on Victoza once a day. Not seeing much improvements here. Any of you used or are using it? Have you seen any results? This med is expensive!! I don't want to keep buying it if it's just another weight loss aid that's not going to work.

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

Had Anyone Tried PRP For PCOS Hair Loss?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I have seen a doctor who performs PRP (platelet rich plasma) for hair loss and asked if it would work for me since my hair loss I think is mostly due to my PCOS. She told me that I would be a good candidate for PRP. I would require a few treatments with continued maintenance. She also mentioned that i have probably lost above 50% of my hair at this point. The treatment/procedure is costly and have been on meds for PCOS (metformin, victors) for over 9 months and no hair regrowth. I am so very… read more
