I seem to bloat up after eating. It doesn't always happends, but it seems to appear when I'm more stressed out. It can get quite intense... I can lose up to one pant size in 24h and then gain it back in a couple days time. I tried keeping a food vs bloating journal, but it just happens whenever. I even started recording the days event to try figure what was going on, bUT still no clue... I was wondering if it happened to anyone else, and what they had done to deal with this, as I am getting… read more

I've spotted for 3 weeks now

Hi Ladies. So I got diagnosed today. My doctor wasn't very helpful. I don't know what type of PCOS I have and wasn't aware that there were other types of PCOS. I do a lot of research into things and had questions to ask. But when I got in there today and he told me the news I froze. I still don't really understand this Insulin thing. I have excessive hair growth on my face. Does anyone have any tips for that? That is my main concern at the moment.

I have been seeing my doctor for about a year now. So far, I feel like my treatment plan is not working. I don’t feel like all of my symptoms are being addressed, and I feel like I’m getting the standard ( metformin & birth control) treatment. I don’t feel like my testoerone levels are under control because my acne, body odor, and weight are out of control. I feel sick when I take the metformin & sick when I dont. Over all, I feel like this plan isnt working. What are some other treatment… read more

I gained a lot of weight and he made me get a blood test... I told my dad he said it's bad unless.... and my dad said no that's impossible stop eating dominos... my parents think I'm infertile but I just got yelled at by my obgyn she said it's not!!! I'm confused it depends on the doctor I talk too one says I would have to see a reproductive endocrinologist and even then it would be near impossible and one says it's harder not impossible.... I'm on the pill I just was throwing it up from… read more

I get plenty of sleep, but just feel exhausted. Wondering if it could be related to PCOS or if it's related to something else. I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and am on medication so it could maybe be that as well.
Thanks!

My Gyno only gave me option of birth control, but my main conern is the weight gain I have been having. I do not have regular periods, but tend to get one every two months right now. The pill increases your insulin levels correct? Not sure where to go from here. My doctor didn't seem to responsive to my questions and basically told me BC was my only option.

My symptoms are ever changing, this round of tests everything came back normal but im insulin resistant.. (it is apparently hard to track) the only symptoms invade this round of tests was high testosterone and cysts in my ovaires.
