Eating Disorder Relationship With PCOS
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question đź’­

When I first was diagnosed with PCOS I was already struggling with an eating disorder from being in modeling. I now have no appetite ever it feels like and I can go days without thinking about or wanting food. When I do eat I get super nauseous. I guess what I’m wondering is does anyone else feel this way and how do they combat it?

If haven't already done so, I would also recommend that you ask you doctor for a referral for an ultrasound to make sure there is not growth on your ovaries.

I Haven't Gotten My Period On My Own In Years But I Just Spotted For 4 Days?!
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question đź’­

So, i have PCOS, diagnosed 5-6 years ago. I don't get periods regularly, and they have been brought on only when i use birth control, or do the fertility treatment with progesterone and clomid. I recently stopped to concentrate on getting better from my mental health disorder ( it is a one year program) so i decided to get on birth control. This was FIVE months ago. I used birth control the first month, stopped it and got my period as expected. i then stopped using the patch because i have… read more

Yes! That's the best thing you can do. Some say see an OB for PCOS others say see an Endocrinologist. I see both.dont be afraid to ask what you want its your treatment🙂

Birth Control Suggestions
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question đź’­

Over the past year or so, I've been spotting nonstop when I'm not full-on having Aunt Flo visiting
One doctor suggested taking 4 ibuprofen 3 times a day. I tried that and it didn't long-term help.
My doctor and I tried adding a mixed hormone pill on top of my implant. It worked but only for a month.

I took a break before going back. They gave me a different estrogen-having pill that my body did not react well to. 2/3 through the pack I had extremely depressive thoughts. I stopped taking them.

I have not.

I got my birth control implant out and I finally stopped bleeding just recently.

My only concern is if I change to an IUD. Will I start bleeding again?

Ovary Pain
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question đź’­

Hello everyone.
I have been having ovary pain for the past 4 to 5 days. It is not ovulation because i had ovulation pain on 11/8. Honestly, I thought it was possibly pregnancy at first so waited to see if my period would come and it did not. I took a pregnancy test this morning which was negative. Also, I have a severe migraine and extremely nauseous. I have had an increase of headaches over the past week or 2. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this with a possible cyst.

I did end up having a 3 cm complex cyst in my left ovary. The doctor didn't know why I was in pain since it was so small. I am wondering if it ruptured when I was in a lot of pain over that weekend.

Husband Told Me - He’s Unattracted To Me
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question đź’­

About 6 weeks ago, my husband told me that hes no longer attracted to me and he knows I was just diagnosed with pcos and have gained weight. I weigh 153 right now and am 4”11, 30 years old, have 2 kiddos.

We have been together 14 years and since he has told me this, I feel very upset, sad, confused, and lost. I asked him over and over when did he start feeling this way.

To add onto that , he wants to have sex and wants me to do sexual favors (sorry tmi : blowjobs) and I don’t want to. Not… read more

Does Anyone Else Get Really Paranoid When It's That Time Of The Month?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question đź’­

Every time my af appears, I refuse to go out as I can have really bad heavy periods which cause me to leak/flood everywhere
I don't mind (but I still feel really embarrassed when it does happen) if I flood and I'm at home as I know that I only have a short walk to the bathroom and my fiance will bring me a change of nightwear and knickers and then whilst I am sorting myself out he'll go and see if I have caught anything when I've stood up
I hate going out when I'm on my af as I get really… read more

Any Recommendations For Fertility Specialists In The Philadelphia Area?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question đź’­

My partner and I are currently TTC and started our first round of fertility treatment, but unfortunately, it was unsuccessful. I know patience is key, but going through something like this isn't easy. I'm looking for a provider and team who are compassionate, sensitive, and patient-centered.

Has Anyone Ever Had An Awful Smell Coming From Their Private Parts?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question đź’­

I've had one that started a couple of days ago and I'm not sure if it's to do with my diabetes or if it's something more serious.
I'm too nervous to contact my doctors about it.
