Dr has diagnosed me with polycystic ovarian syndrome. any stories or advice?

Answer 1

*if you are trying to conceive don't bother with the pill to regulate cos that doesnt' help.

*Research 'Metformin' - and make up your own mind.

*its important to eat Low GI foods and avoid white bread, potatoes, watermelon etc. - also should research this.

* Exercise is also important.

* Maybe try to make an appointment with a gyno or a endocrinologist.

I was diagnosed with PCOS a few months back and it was really daunting. But the most important thing to remember is that everyone is different and their symptoms and the ways they manage this will be different too.

I was diagnois with pcos a few months ago after ttc for 4 years, the symptoms haven't change at all its just getting worst, from missing periods to no periods, from no facail hair to looking like a bear, from pretty cute gorgeous face, to and ugly bumpy acne face, pcos can ruin a women life and make her suffer from not reproducing, I would trade in all I have just to conceive a child, I went from being on birth control to help with the sympotms but it only seems to cover it up whiles I was on it, after being of the pill it went back to acne, ireguler periods, facial hair etc.

Try getting on metfomin, I started metformin and started to get a reguler cycle by just being on metformin 1000mg but 2 months later I stop getting my period, you should try asking your dr about metformin its really good for some then ask him to give you clomid if your ttc

Answer 3

I can understand what you are going thru, because once i was also diagnosed with pcos but my experience with this was very horrible, as I was given some contraceptive pills for six months to cure pcos and also i was overweight and having problem of irregular menses. and when after completing my first cycle of taking pills, I started mensurating continued for alomost a month with very heavy bleeding and pain. But overall after completing my course of six months when my sonography reports came, the results was normal. But don't worry everything will be fine. Try to reduce your weight if you are overweight. because being overweight is the root cause of our all problems. I am still overweight and now having a problem of thyriod and irregular menses.
