A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Warrington, UK

Hi ladies, I went to the loo before I got in the shower and when I wiped I discovered that my periods have started. They're light at the moment but they are also very unpredictable as we all know
The only thing is my doctors surgery is open today, but for pre-booked appointments only, so I don't think there's a receptionist in the surgery. I'm still going to my appointment so that I can speak to the nurse (who is female as only the female nurses can do the smear tests at my doctors, which I… read more

I think that’s similar to what they said would happen to me too, so they advised against it too. Glad you got rebooked though, do you suffer with prolonged periods at all? Are they quite regular? I’m… read more

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Virginia Beach, VA

So far my tests don’t show insulin resistance that I know of but the doctor was talking about putting me on metformin anyways. Anybody else benefitted from that? Did metformin regulate your cycle even if you didn’t have insulin problems?

I Have Lost So Much Hair, And It Will Not Grow. Has Anyone Found Anything To Help Their Hair Grow Again?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Aberdeen, NC

I cut my hair over a year ago hoping it would help it grow faster and appear thicker. I’ve always had super thick hair. But now my hair is so thin, stringy, and I swear I have what looks like a receding hairline. You can see my scalp in parts because my hair is so thin. I am so embarrassed. I don’t even like to look at myself in the mirror or see any pictures of myself. And since I had my hair cut short, it has barely grown at all. It’s still the same length, and I hate it. I just want my thick… read more
