Why Is The Doctor Percribing Me Spironolactone?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

So the doctor had done a ultrasound on me on my first appointment seeing him and informed me that "it looks like my uterus lining is thick" so he prescribed me with 200mg progesterone for 10 days to thin out the lining and have my menstrual regulated. He mentioned that it should regulate my period which i havent had since age 22 and i am 33 right now.

Hi! I would first like to comment that it's odd he took what you said during your virtual meeting as a positive sign. If you took 200mg of progesterone for 10 days, you should have bled 1-3 days… read more

What Do Your Periods Look Like Every Month?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I’ve had 2 periods, 10 days apart. My first period started on the first and only lasted 3 days. It was only heavy for one day out of the 3. 10 days later on the 15 I was having cramps which I thought were ovulation cramps just to use the restroom and find blood in my underwear :(. This period lasted 4 days ended on the 18 and was fairly heavy. Yesterday I had some cramps and brown spotting. I’m just so confused! I haven’t had a normal cycle since before starting birthcontrol so I never know if… read more

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

TTC With PCOS
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

Trying to conceive with PCOS I had regular periods up until November and now need progesterone. I'm on clomid cycle 1, but I'm not sure when/ if my fertile window is. I have taken OPK tests but there always positive. Anyone have recommendations on how to know?! I love my husband but I'm tired having sex ALOT. It is exhausting, to say the least 🙈. Any and all recommendations on conceiving and tracking please!
