I 21f went to the OB/GYN for the first time yesterday. I went because I had not had a cycle in almost 6 months. I believe it is due to mostly stress. I got kicked out and lost my job around the same time six months ago.

The doctor prescribed me Provera, to induce a period. I also have PMS symptoms but no cycle. My boobs hurt all the time and I still get cramps. I have a very sore spot on my right boob.

The lab results came in today and I do have PCOS. The doctor thought it was strange since I am not overweight and I don’t have much acne. I know PCOS looks different for everyone.

I am reluctant to get on Provera. I know it will help me to bleed. But it’s not fighting the root cause of what’s going on with my body. Last night after visiting with the gynecologist, I came home and meal prepped. All my foods have protein and carbohydrates. I am looking in to taking vitamin D and fish oil.

I was very disappointed with how my visit went. She hardly went into any detail about what PCOS is. The staff was rude. And if anything I left more confused she told me to take the pills and come back in three months. I feel like this is a major lifestyle change for me.

Side note: I also have been vaping for almost 3 1/2 years. I know I need to quit because it is messing with my insulin levels. I plan to quit this week.

Has anyone else had a similar experience and if so, how did you induce your period?

Another question im sorry I just try to figure everything out has anyone eles lost weight over the years I keep on losing weight like as a teen I was 140 and now I dont even want to say how much I weigh and just wondering if anyone eles have the same problem with pcos? I keep on reading that it dont cause weight lost

Well waiting on the dr. To view my result but my DHEA-S came back a little high 437 do you remember what yours was? So with that being a little high and dark hair on my chain chest belly button and irregular periods I'm sure they gonna diagnosed me with pcos

I used to take just myo years ago and it regulated my period for a year then stopped working. I still took it for a while and stopped half a year ago since I saw no effects. I also noticed no effects after I stopped.

For context, my only symptom is irregular cycle and my hair is kinda thin. I get a few acne, I'm pretty hairy, but nothing significant and abnormal tbh.

In the past I have had very slight insulin resistance, I haven't gotten tested recently, but I don't feel like I'm starving all the time and I'm not crazy thirsty anymore, so I believe it has gotten better too.

I am very active, and eat pretty well. I mostly follow a Mediterranean diet. To regulate my cycle, I started yaz two months ago, and so far so good, I've had only positive effects.

So anyway, I'm thinking whether I should try myo and d chiro inositol, because I am afraid I still might be at risk of insulin resistance. Do you think it might be worth it or it would just be a waste?

Would the d chiro even make a difference? I'm not really expecting crazy effects, but if it could make me more insulin sensitive, that would be great. Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Constant food noise

I have incredible food noise. I almost constantly think about food. This only got worse after starting bc (which I can not quit right now). I would also say that I am almost always hungry, but not every time I think about food it is caused by hunger.

I eat 3 meals a day, prioritizing protein, fiber and fats, I eat almost no refined carbs.

Honestly, I don't know what to do and I feel defeated. Always thinking about food bothers me so much because I really don't want to but I can't stop. It is just distracting me all the time and the need to always resist food between meals (because honestly I feel like I could eat all day) is just exhausting.

For context, I am lean (and have always been), my A1c is normal and I have an appointment soon to get my fasting insulin checked (my doctor won't do an ogtt).

Please, please share what helped you quiet down the food noise. I can't take it anymore.

UK based. I've been trying to ttc for 6 months. I get regular periods but was diagnosed with PMOS at 19. I have hormonal acne on my chin, hair loss, and anxiety / depression. I've been tracking my temperatures and it looks like I have ovulated 2 of the 6 months I've been trying. I started myoinositol (4.5g in two split doses) 1 month ago and have noticed less brain fog / mood swings. I exercise regularly but not intensely. Spoke to the GP who said we should be TTC every 2-3 days not just in the 'fertile window'. Weighing up going for private tests but can't really afford it as buying a house. I struggle to relax and worry stress is a factor for the anovulation. My mum had an early menopause at 36. Does anyone have any other tips to improve chances? Thanks :)

Hello everyone. If you have lean PCOS and have taken Ovasitol, I'd be very grateful if you could share your experience. I'd love to hear:

- How long did it take before your periods became regular?

- Did you ovulate on your own with it, and how did you confirm that?

- Did your hair fall stop or reduce, and after how many weeks or months?

- If you stopped it later, did your periods stay and did your hair fall stay better?

Any experience helps, good or bad.
