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
I know I recommend this to alot of people but it’s only because I’ve only ever heard positive feedback from trying this diet and I’ve experienced tremendous relief from this diet as well
It almost… read more
Hi everyone! It’s apparently very common to be slightly over weight when suffering with PCOS, unfortunately I’ve battled anorexia but I’ve managed to get my weight to 6St12 , I’m 24 and I’m 5Ft4 . I can’t be the only woman with PCOS that’s suffered with GAINING weight, I NEED help and I was wondering what has worked for people to get into a healthy weight range to get their periods back on track and manage to ovulate and hopefully conceive ?? Love to hear from anyone!! Xxxxx
I hope you are feeling better!!! Best of luck in your journey and don't hesitate to reach out here if you need support! xx
And acutane is such an intense option I’d more likely recommend spironolactone if you’re looking for a medication option! I’ve never taken it myself though but my friend is someone that really hates… read more
YES! Was diagnosed with PCOS (kind of off-hand/casually years ago) I didn’t pay much attention because after adjusting my diet my period returned to regular timing for many years until I had a period… read more
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
Yes…this is what I’ve been struggling with most of all for the past 6 months…I can’t seem to escape the bloating. The diet I follow HELPS but does not totally fix it. Sometimes it just hits me out of… read more
Has anyone ever experienced overwhelming anxiety and depression with PCOS? For the last couple months my ability to handle stress and anxiety is nada...I just feel overwhelmed with everything. I've also noticed in the past couple weeks I have uncontrollable crying episodes.
yes, I do have some crying episodes & most of the time reasons are so minor.
I wake up at 6 am naturally and feel very energetic then 2 hours later I feel so tired, just wondering if it’s a hormone thing.
That totally happens to me too!! Had no clue it was a hormone thing…but of course it is…what isn’t a hormone thing?! My goodness.
I used to have semi-regular periods every 4-6 weeks. Took Nexplanon, gained 60 pounds in a year, and didn't get but one period while I was on it. Now no period in over a year and a half since I had Nexplanon taken out. Diagnosed with PCOS when I went to the OBGYN trying to get my period back to have babies. No success yet, trying vitamins and supplements. Has anyone gotten their cycle back after weight loss or procedures or taking supplements? I know there are success stories with having babies… read more
So I had very irregular periods when I was young and then I went on an allergen free diet and within about 45-60days was having regular periods and got pregnant within another 30days (unfortunately by… read more
Hi, is anyone taking either of these for weight loss? My doctor wants to get me down in weight as I am obese now. At least 50lbs by next year. She suggested wegovy. I am waiting to decide to go on this until I see an endocronologist again. I am 45 right now and all methods of weight loss have been harder than before. I had a baby at 41. I started taking a low dose of inositol for the insulin resistance and have cut back on eating and watching the carbs and haven't lost anything. However… read more
I highly recommend trying an allergen free diet if you don’t already! I started one about 10yrs ago around the first time I was diagnosed and that helped me drop weight (without counting calories or… read more
