PCOS Weight Loss Journey

vamlltrm asked:


www.vamlltrm.blogspot.com Hello Everyone! I began my new life in March of 2007. By August of 2007 I had lost 80 lbs, and after 4 years of trying with no success, I finally became pregnant, but unfortunately suffered a loss. I got right back on my regimen. And, by March 2008 I was down 102 lbs. By September of 2008 I had reached a total weight loss of 115 pounds when my husband and I found out we were pregnant again COMPLETELY naturally! Our little guy arrived on May 15, 2009! I am so emotional, fired up and passionate about what i did for myself. I decided i was FED UP with being overweight, tired, hairy, childless, bitter and utterly miserable! I want to share this with you all. I want you guys to feel how wonderful i feel now, about myself and my life and even my PCOS! If you’re ready to make the change. The change to happiness and hope, contact me. I am always more than happy to share with other women with this, and similar disorders b/ci truly want to bring everyone with PCOS to the same place of hope and acceptance that i was FINALLY able to achieve. You may have PCOS…but PCOS does NOT have you!!

What is the most effective medication to take with PCOS?

Courtney J asked:


I was recently diagnosed with PCOS, and as I know it is manageable it’s been really hard for me to deal with since we want a baby badly. My doctor put me on the pill, Desogen, to help me get my period regulated to being with. I’ve never heard of this “brand” and I didn’t know if anyone else had any info on it?

Also can anyone tell me what they were put on when diagnosed? And what they did to increase their fertility? Thank you.

Is it possible to have polycystic overian syndrome and fibroids at the same time?

fibroids
crischinn asked:


i am confused, as i thought fibroids were caused by too much estrogen, and PCOS caused by too little estrogen and too much testosterone.

Can you have PCOS and still get a cycle and LH surge every month?

pcos
Pluckiducki asked:


Just wondering if it is possible to to have PCOS if you have a cycle everymonth. My cycle comes every month but usually any where between 1-4 days off (cycle is usually 31-34 days). I do OPKs and i have a surge every month, but don’t really see any changes in my CM.

I started taking royal jelly and now I am considering evening primrose. But if it might be PCOS, my doctor may consider something else.

lolly25 asked:


Just wondered because i’ve just found out that i’ve got PCOS
I haven’t had a period since i came off the pill in January. My testosterone level was 5.6 but for someone without PCOS it should only be around 2. The doctor seemed to think that my level was high even for someone with PCOS

pcos
Scarlett J asked:


My so called “friend” (not to my face… but still what a bi*ch) called me a fat **** to my friend and said PCOS is a pathetic excuse for being overweight. It really upset me especially as i eat healthier than her and exercise more often… i DO try but its really hard.
