Appointment Thursday
Thursday i have my first appointment with a gynecologist
I asked my dietitian if he had any questions i could ask, i showed him my bloodwork. Because my testosterone is still, contantly to high, he said perhaps higher birth control. So im going to ask that. Also i want to know what kind of pcos i have. And i want to be under supervision, to do blooodwork and echo's(sonograms isnt the word right?) Because of the cysts.
Do you girls know any questions i could ask?
Im nervous and scared to go… read more
Good luck! Finding a doctor who gets you is so hard!
Here’s some sources that helped me so much. @thepcosnutritionist on Facebook (and Instagram)
@pcos.weightloss ( she’s a PCOS specific nutritionist who has PCOS herself. She’s great! Also on Instagram) and www.KarenHurd.com She’s a little trickier to get info from but that’s because she’s older. She is a biochemist/nutritionist and has a encourse in her site specifically for PCOS.
I’m learning that food plays such a huge role! I first heard about Karen when my dad sent me a podcast by Lacy Phillips #75. Her interview with Karen has made me want to commit more to understanding how foods effect our hormones.
1. ask him pinpoint exactly what type of pcos you have; ie the cause.
2. make sure you get all of the blood work and tests scheduled at the appointment so none is missed.
3. i would definitely make sure to put eostrogen and vitamin d on your labs as a deficiency or too high of a level of those can really affect you and tend to fluctuate in pcos.
hi honey! the biggest tip i have for you going to any appointments is to be your best advocate. when it comes to these kinds of conditions, we are often dismissed or misdiagnosed. have a clear picture of your development and you have been lately, i keep a journal, and you can even read it out. hope this helped!
Maybe diet advice in case she / he tells you to lose weight? Can be so easy to tell someone to lost weight but they never say how.
I will be praying for you @Imtgal2954
