I Have Pcos

I've just been diagnosed today 🙁 I'm all over the place emotionally. We have one child we managed to conceive easily so the doctor said that was a good sign and I start metformin tomorrow. Makes sense why I'm not losing weight now so hopefully I can start shifting it soon. Just ugh 🙁🙁 not what I need.

I was diagnosed almost 50 years ago and because it was quite popular back then, had a hysterectomy at 34 after my daughter was born.

It's manageable and while it's a literal and figurative pain, there are many worse things.

Glad you have the information, and that there's much more information now.

@Mamapolo2016 I am trying to tell myself that there are worse things for sure! I'm just mostly worried about the higher risk of diabetes, but also relieved that I'm not not really losing weight because I'm greedy or overeating anything. It's definitely a mixed bag!

@Starsandfire It's never fun to get diagnosed with anything, and I do sympathize. I urge you to connect with a nutritionist/dietician who knows their stuff.

Just manage the symptoms. Read and educate yourself about it. You will be fine. You will lead a normal healthy life just be strong.

It's good at least, they have a diagnosis. Now you can begin treatment and get it under control 😔🤗🤗💞🙏

i've heard the heard vitex can help balance your hormones with PCOS. what ive read though is not clear so I'd suggest researching it further if you are interested in any herbs to help.

@Penny I'm going to be doing a lot of research in the next few days so thank you, I will look into it.
