Questions & Answers

Does birth control really help regulate periods? I know that it helps regulate the shedding of your lining, but how can it help regulate your ovulation? I've always been confused about this as birth control stops ovulation. If it's not going to help me much I'd like to just get off the pill and try other methods. Any advice or insight would be helpful!!

I'm 34 and was diagnosed at 14. I've tried diet, exercise, metformin, provera, clomid and injections. I've never been able to get pregnant. It is so isolating and painful.

I hate the side effects of the birth control pills especially now that it's warming up, my veins swell horribly! I would really appreciate the advice

I have had two long cycles recently (over 60 days) and I wanted to start trying for a baby after my next cycle (which is taking its sweet time in coming) and I am worried that that means no ovulation. Or could there be ovulation and my cycle is just longer at the moment? How long did it take people to get pregnant?

Have had low cortisol show up in multiple urine, stool, and blood tests..I haven’t tried any medication intervention yet…then most recent blood test says cortisol is HIGH. What the actual heck is going on…if anybody has any insight or experience with this I’d love to know…

Pcos makes it hard to lose weight but when you’re in your 30s it’s even harder

It is rare in women under 35 however, upon receiving the diagnosis yesterday I have learned that it PCOS have much higher chance of developing it. Also women w/PCOS who develop Complex Hyperplasia w/Atypia are at a approx. 50% higher risk for developing endometrial cancer (scientific studies varied on the exact percentage). Anyway, while I wait for my appointment with the gyno oncologist I just wondered if any of you have been through this and what your journey had been like.
