Questions & Answers

I have seen all kinds of different diet recommendations but these two seem like the most often recommended. Anyone have experience with either or both?

So the doctor had done a ultrasound on me on my first appointment seeing him and informed me that "it looks like my uterus lining is thick" so he prescribed me with 200mg progesterone for 10 days to thin out the lining and have my menstrual regulated. He mentioned that it should regulate my period which i havent had since age 22 and i am 33 right now. So i was excited thinking im about have my menstrual regulated again and have a chance to conceive which ive been trying the last 13 years with… read more

I’ve been feeling like I want to ask my doctor for a while, but I thought I’d ask her and see if anyone else has ever asked this question, but does anyone ever wonder if the hormone blockers that people use to transition from male to female whatever be an option for us with high testosterone levels, why don’t we have options like this?

I feel like I’ve fallen so far into the PCOS hole that I don’t know how to scratch my way out of it, doctors don’t want to talk to me about it until I lose weight which feels next to impossible. I’ve tried Metformin, It makes me so sick even after 2 months on it and I can’t use birth control Because it’s not safe medically for me so I feel like I’ve just been written off and don’t know where to start and some days I just feel so hopeless and like I’m just stuck like this. I also have doctors… read more

Hello,

so this is my first time with mirena and i was given it to help ease my PCOS/adenomyosis/fibroid symptoms. I'd have spotting sometimes but it would normally go away that day.

But i'm at like, the 10 month mark, and this week i've had a very light bleed on and off for about 7 days with some mild cramps (either normal mild or based on what i used to get) and i'm wondering if that's normal?

My "cycle" before this was like 2 months non stop then like 6 months off. no real consistency… read more

For my research, I intend to observe the eating patterns and physical activity of women with pcos in UK. I need participants for my data that I will collect through online questionnaires. If anyone is willing to become a part of my research anonymously, please hit me up.

Looking forward to your kind responses.

Thank you.

I hate it when I see that this female celebrity or that female celebrity is pregnant as it annoys the hell out of me as I'm like thinking "can't u keep ur pregnancy news to urself?" or "just share it with with your family and friends" as its not nice for ladies who are struggling to get pregnant due to medical conditions they have like us ladies on here as we have PCOS and we (well I for one) don't want to know about them becoming pregnant because u never or very rarely find out if a female… read more

Its the second time as far as I can remember that it's happened to me as both times when my periods have started I've swapped my sensitive bladder pads for my period pads like I always do and every time I've gone to the toilet there's nothing on the pad, but there's blood on the tissue and it makes me think that my periods have somehow gotten "stuck" inside me. It's the only way I can think of to explain it.

I just got diagnosed with PCOS. We have been TTC for over 3 years now. My doctor wants to put me on letrozole and metformin together to try and induce ovulation. Was wondering if anybody had any success stories, tips, bad side affects. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
