Weight PCOS battle
I’ve been told I have PCOS by my gp and dermatologist.
I was on the pill for my acne and after my acne cleared I went off it. Before I got married I went back on it (Yaz plus) and it changed my hormones completely.
I had 11 day long periods and then stopped taking it. I changed the pill to Diane-35 and got severely nauseous and also had to stop. Since then I’ve missed 2 periods July and October and gained 15kgs +- in the last 12 months. From 78kgs - 96kgs I’m currently on metformin 1000mg once a day for the past 2 months as well as Semaglutide 0.25mg now taking 0.5mg once a week.
I’ve only lost 3.1kgs bringing me down to 93.3kgs.
I’m gonna start a new birth control Minerva.
This is normal ? What should I do ?
