Do Some Of You Have Weird Nails?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

Yesterday i discovered that my toenails are doing some weird thing. The new part of the nail is very hard, has ridges and is higher than the rest of the nail. I read it could have multiple things it could come from, like thyroid, diabetes and a heartattack. As those sometimes come in pcos, not the heartattack, but you know blood pressure from stress and all. Pictue is in the next bit, so i dont shock people.

Will The Nurse At The Doctors Still Do My Smear Test Even Though My Periods Have Arrived Today?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

Hi ladies, I went to the loo before I got in the shower and when I wiped I discovered that my periods have started. They're light at the moment but they are also very unpredictable as we all know
The only thing is my doctors surgery is open today, but for pre-booked appointments only, so I don't think there's a receptionist in the surgery. I'm still going to my appointment so that I can speak to the nurse (who is female as only the female nurses can do the smear tests at my doctors, which I… read more

I think that’s similar to what they said would happen to me too, so they advised against it too. Glad you got rebooked though, do you suffer with prolonged periods at all? Are they quite regular? I’m… read more

Has Anyone Ever Been Sent To The Branch Surgery That's What's We Call Them In The Part Of Your Doctor's Surgery For An Ultrasound Scan?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

Every time I have been sent for an ultrasound scan, my doctors always sends me to the branch surgery even though I have told them that it's easier and nearer to the local hospital than the branch surgery, but they always say that it's because the company they use for ultrasound scans are only based at the branch surgery and I am fed up of them sending me to the branch surgery. I am also getting fed up with being told that I haven't turned up for appointments and not given a reason for not going… read more

I Am Getting An Ovarian Wedge Resection On Both Ovaries In A Few Days. Has Anyone Had Experience With This Surgery?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

My doctor recommend a laparoscopic ovarian wedge resection on both ovaries. As well as looking for and possibly excising endometriosis. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2017 but have had symptoms since my first period at 10 years old. So, this has been a loooooooong journey for me. I am 26 now and finally feel like I am being listened to by my doctor about the pain, discomfort, and overall poor quality of life.

Has anyone had this procedure done? What should I expect? How was your experience? Any… read more

Has Anyone Had A D&C? Any Kind Words Or Advice To Help Prepare Me For It?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

Before I go back on birth control, the doctor wants to do a D&C to check on my built-up lining. I am nervous for this surgery. It will be my first surgery, and I am scared of anesthesia due to PTSD.

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.
