Has anyone ever been on Buspirone for anxiety? Pros and Cons of it? Thanks in advance!

A myPCOSteam Member

I started at 150mg for depression and it didn’t seem to be doing the trick so I had it increased to 300 mg. It actually gave me anxiety. It’s gone away as the time has gone on but it was rough for a… read more

Try to take your mind off it, and do things that relax you.

Has Anyone Been Having More Hair Loss Then Usually?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Harvey, LA

My hair has been falling out a lot I don’t know what to do anymore. It’s making me depressed and stressed.

A myPCOSteam Member

I hope it works out great; but I’m also TTC and it’s frustrating when I don’t know when I ovulate. So that’s also making stress more.

Should I Get A Second Opinion?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Columbia, SC

My name is Katie, and I am from SC. This week, I received a diagnosis of PCOS after experiencing irregular cycles. While my doctor performed an ultrasound, no bloodwork was done, and he only mentioned that I have PCOS without discussing the full results of the ultrasound. As part of my treatment, I have been prescribed 2.5 MG of Letrozole and instructed to return in six months. However, my doctor seemed to downplay the significance of the diagnosis. Since my husband and I are eager to start a… read more

A myPCOSteam Member

I had to doctor shop for a while before I found out I had PCOS. I also have fibromyalgia so I was used to searching for a doctor. There’s no harm in a second opinion! I say do it especially if you’re… read more

Has Anyone Had A D&C? Any Kind Words Or Advice To Help Prepare Me For It?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Glassboro, NJ

Before I go back on birth control, the doctor wants to do a D&C to check on my built-up lining. I am nervous for this surgery. It will be my first surgery, and I am scared of anesthesia due to PTSD.

A myPCOSteam Member

Hi there. So, I did have a D&C during a surgery I had for parapelvic cysts. They just did the D&C at the same time because I had a cyst on my uterus so they took care of it. I was under so I didn't… read more

Pcos A Thing Of The Past?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Australia

Went to a gynecologist tonight due to fibroids in uterus. Did the internal ultrasound to check on my pcos but apparently they are gone. I have bigger issues and currently freaking out as one fibroid needs investigating but the doc said my pcos is a thing of the past. I’m confused can pcos ever go away and why is my body not showing signs of it. I know it sounds stupid I should be happy right but I feel like there is information missing here

A myPCOSteam Member

Ok so when I was 25 and trying to get pregnant, my periods were like 3 months apart, testosterone was slightly high, weight gain as soon as I got off the pill and I had cysts on my ovaries. After 2… read more
