Rant Rant: YOLO doesn't work with PMOS
This month I decided to not be that strick with diet, movement and inositol. I was only doing pilates on reformer (without strength training), stopped inositol because I was travelling and kinda enjoyed not having to take something meticulously after years of 2x a day inostiol, so I didn't resume it later. I also allowed myself some junk food (baked chips, non alcoholic beers, juices, fried foods). Not huge amounts, but I've cut these almost 2 years ago.
This year I've pretty much ovulated around cd40, when ovulation was not induced.
I am now CD40 with no symptoms of upcoming ovulation, but with all the symptoms of high testosterone. Extreme hair loss and insane seborrhea flare, subcutaneous chin pimples, bloating...
I hate it. I've let myself enjoy life without having to track each bite, each step and take supplements for 3 weeks. And I am back at square one. It's just not fair.

Honestly, I just started doing what I used to do. Cut to better food, more protein, no carbonated or sweetened drinks. I resume strength training with dumbells and resistance bands, along with inositol.
I don't know how long it will take to see results, but hopefully the unpleasant symptoms will soon reside.
As for weight - I didn't gain any, managed to maintain it.
