Has Anyone Used Depo-Provera For Birth Control Before PCOS DIAGNOSIS
I read that there are studies that have tried to link PCOS to Depo-Provera users. I took depo for 5 years in my 20’s. After seeing numerous drs and specialist I was diagnosed with PCOS at 35 (now 43). Just wondering how many of you also used depo.
i was on depo-provera for 5 years until September 2017 and was diagnosed with PCOS this month. I had no idea there was a correlation, very interesting indeed
Does Anyone Else Feel Toxic When They Dont Get A Period?? Does All The 'lining' Just Stick Around Until We Do Have A Period??
No. I've been on the Depo Shot and haven't had a period in a long while. Once it was explained to me, I've had no worries concerning not having a period.
Losing Weight
Ive done really well in the past with weight loss. It’ll go really well for some time and then stop completely. I hate that PCOS had made me gaib abdominal weight and makes it harder to lose. Does anyone have any suggestions who is consistently losing weight?

Abnormal Bleeding !
Hello Everyone!
Has anyone else experienced prolonged bleeding while having PCOS?? I’ve had this “period” since December 2017 and was recently put on birth control to stop the bleeding due to becoming anemic. I’ve had a Pap smear and it came back “normal”. Is there something out there (besides birth control) I can take to stop this issue?
Thank you,
Monica

No Periods
Anyone else NEVER get a period?
I only do when I take Provera.
I have already tried Metformin, Vitex, weight loss, exercise, clean eating. Still have never had a cycle on my own.
I just started taking inositol, so I'll give that a shot for a few months to see if that helps at all. Any other ideas? Is there anything you have been able to do to naturally get a period?
I’m the same.,.I haven’t had a period in so long and I’m trying to regulate my hormones so I can get one..I know of a YouTuber who had pcos and she didn’t have her period for 6 years die to pcos
Birth Control
Has anyone got on the pill to see if it helps get your hormones or track ? Or should i avoid them ?
I never felt right on any type of birth control, eventually I ended up finding a doctor that treats my hormones individually. I take progesterone to raise mine, which in turn forces testosterone down… read more

Would Taking Inositol Work Even If Only Looking To Regulate My Cycle And Not To Get Pregnant?
Provera makes you have a period. You take it for 7 days and then once you stop taking them your period usually starts 1-5 days after. So it is like a birth control pill, but doesn’t prevent pregnancy… read more
