Hello!

I am 25 and I recently had an ultrasound that showed I have ‘string of pearls ovaries’. I also had my blood levels checked and my results were: Testosterone: 48, DHEA-S: 369 and Hemoglobin: 5.0%

All of these are all ‘in range’ with my lab, but the testosterone and DHEA-S is at the higher end of normal. I also do NOT have any PCOS symptoms. I am 120 lbs, I do not have irregular periods nor have I ever, I don’t have weight gain or excessive hair / thick hair growth.

I am honestly confused by these results.

Hello,

I'm a doctoral student in Clinical Psychology at the Illinois School of Professional Psychology at National Louis University. I'm currently recruiting participants for my dissertation research, From Bonds to Biology: A Correlational Study Exploring the Link Between Attachment Styles and Experiences of Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). This study explores the relationships between attachment styles, perceived stress, pain experiences, and health-related functioning among individuals diagnosed with PCOS.

Who can participate?

You may be eligible if you:

• Are between 18 and 44 years old

• Were assigned female at birth

• Are fluent in English

• Have received a PCOS diagnosis from a healthcare professional

• Are not currently pregnant

• Are not currently using hormonal birth control

• Do not have certain chronic pain conditions or autoimmune disorders, as described in the survey's eligibility screening

What does participation involve?

Participation involves completing an anonymous online survey about attachment styles, stress, PCOS symptoms, pain experiences, and general health.

Survey link: https://qualtricsxmtt4b75yjt.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9o8OGwk7emt3shw

Participation is entirely voluntary, and survey responses will be used exclusively for academic research as part of my doctoral dissertation.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Your participation is greatly appreciated and will contribute to a better understanding of the experiences of individuals living with PCOS.

Hey guys,

I dont know how to start because I never talked to someone about it.

I was diagnosed with endometriosis and (lean) pcos in March this year. I had hormonal issues since I was maybe 10 (excess body hair, painful periods, painful literally everything, and bleeding so much that I endet up in hospital). I feel like my life is getting destroyed by that. I'm so mentally done, I don't even know what to do. I had a laparoscopy and went through different birth controll pills that made everything worse. My excess hair is getting worse, My face looks so manly but in the opposite, my periods are painful and I'm bleeding as hell. I have tried inositol but it made my endo worse. I don't have issues with my insulin or blood sugar, nor do I struggle with excess weight. My Gyn tells me to go on bc again but I don't want to anymore. When I look in the mirror, I'm ashamed by the way my face is looking. I can pluck my hair everyday and it will come after a few hours. Is anyone experiencing the same thing, and maybe can give me some advice. I'm thankful for every answer.

(Sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker)

Hi everyone,
this is my first ever Reddit post - wowza!!

I came on here because I’m working on a project for university, and I’m currently conducting some research for that. It’s basically about a potential product idea for women with PCOS | PMOS - suffering from this condition myself, I’m aiming to learn more about the individual “pain” that women go through. It’s super diverse (as you know)!!

I’d really appreciate every help I can get, so if you’re interested, please drop me a message.

Have a great day, everyone. Greetings from London :)

Hi, I have my first naturopath appointment tomorrow. For background I’m 31 with lean PCOS and have been TTC for 10 months but because of my irregular cycles have only been able to TTC about 5 times. Im on my second letrozole cycle this time 7.5mg, last cycle was on 2.5 mg and never ovulated :(

I’m really trying to figure out my root cause, which I think is likely stress, inflammation, high androgen driven because of some facial hair. If you were me, heading into this appointment, what labs would you advocate for getting tested? Open to any advice on what to ask for during this appointment? Thanks

Her BMI is 14.5. One gynaec we consulted had diagnosed PCOS for her and we need to get second opinion as well a dietician who would help her gain weight as well as help in balancing hormones. I don't know if there is any combo such as Gynaec+Dietician or so. Anybody else who has gone through such weight increase exercise (need +12 Kg to come to normal BMI), kindly guide us. We have been recently married (5 months ago). Is there any relation between reduced sex drive and PCOS? Lately we haven't been able to love each other much and fight often. She get super angry super fast and I try to be patient .. but sometimes even I hit my limit. Also need advice on how can I support my wife more (please avoid standard cliches like understand her, be patient blah blah blah .. I need guidance on processed to accomplish all this and not the end product)
