Hello, I have PCOS and I'm doing a research paper on PCOS for my English Class and was wondering if there's anyone on the medical staff that could answer some questions? I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 21 years old and I'm now 40 years old. It's hard to lose weight, become pregnant (given up on that), the missed periods, insulin resistance and my list go on. So when we were given the option to write a research paper on an issue that means the most to us, I picked PCOS. Not many people out… read more

I have had PCOS for approximately 3 years. In between these 3 years I've have maybe 2 periods (random spotting inbetween the count of this is unknown but a lot). I just started a period 2 weeks ago. My last period was May of 2018 and it was normal and lasted about 7-9 days or so and wast super heavy, just normal. However, this period IS SO HEAVY and I have been clotting a lot. Its to the point i cannot wear tampons because the clots stop from my flow and im having to change my Tampon almost… read more

So when I read that metformin causes gas/upset stomach/diarrhea they weren't kidding. It's been about a month now and I want to know...am I going to be plagued with diarrhea forever???? It doesn't seem worth it. I'm scared to eat because I don't know what's going to make my upset stomach and diarrhea even worse than it already is.

My weight gain has gotten out of control! I gained almost 50 pounds in less then six months. I’m exercising trying to eat better but no matter what I try the weight won’t go away! Anyone have any good tools they used to get the weight off??

I was diagnosed PCOS 4 yrs ago. I am 70 kgs and doctor advised to bring down to 60 kgs. I have tried some diet plans but didn't yield any result. Lost heart and stopped practising. Now that I am married i want to make myself fit before i plan for pregnancy. Badly need help in this. Any effective weight loss suggestions friends?

Mine is pushing for one to controll the bleeding but wont say how we will control the cysts and pain. Im 47 so no worries about not having kids (dont have any either)

Went to a gynecologist tonight due to fibroids in uterus. Did the internal ultrasound to check on my pcos but apparently they are gone. I have bigger issues and currently freaking out as one fibroid needs investigating but the doc said my pcos is a thing of the past. I’m confused can pcos ever go away and why is my body not showing signs of it. I know it sounds stupid I should be happy right but I feel like there is information missing here

When does the weight gain stop? I am insulin resistant and take metformin. I don’t think its working because i keep feeling bigger as the days go on. Should i take supplements? How do you know what else you need? I dont even want to eat anymore its so bad.

Have gained weight dr wants to put me on low dose bc worried it will cause more weight gain.
