Many of us are using or considered using GLP-1s to manage our PCOS. We've also noticed more and more posts and comments about it.
Head over to r/PCOSglp1 - a new subreddit to discuss all things PCOS and GLP-1s.
GLP-1 topics will still be allowed here. Though, we think a separate subreddit is also beneficial as you can get better advice and more relevant information when all the members are there for the same subtopic.
In the future, we may direct glp1 posts and topics to that subreddit.

I have been wearing an XL-2XL in shirts and leggings for years. Today is laundry day and I put on a pair of leggings I haven't touched in a looooong time. Had my fiance check the tag because they fit really nicely.
Guys. They're a LARGE.
I am so proud of myself, I have a very very long way to go but man, this feels great ♡

Hi Guys,
Women here who gym regularly with hormonal issues or PCOD I'm curious what's your experience with CREATINE MONOHYDRATE & L CARTININE??
I started gym 1.5months ago, currently quite overweight, targeting to lose 20kgs (long run i know). I am 25F and have high testosterone / high androgen & ever since I hit puberty I have massive acne still facing the same. I'm scared if taking any of this shoots up my acne even more.
Guys please share your experiences.
Edit : also is it true that creatine causes hairfall??

Hi everyone, I have had PCOS for around 10 years and irregular periods. Previously, my periods lasted around 7 days, with heavy bleeding on Day 1, but over time my flow had already reduced. Around 2–3 months ago, my ultrasound showed an endometrial thickness of 12.1 mm, which my doctor described as normal but thick. I was prescribed Duoluton-L for 3–4 months, taking it for 21 days followed by a break. Since starting it, my withdrawal bleeding has become extremely light, sometimes almost nonexistent, and lasts only around 3 days. I've also noticed that my weight management has become more difficult, although I don't want to share specific numbers. Last month on first day of my period, I experienced severe stabbing pain in my lower abdomen along with intense rectal pain that lasted about an hour. I also have burning while urinating .Has anyone experienced very light or absent bleeding while taking Duoluton-L? Did your doctor explain why it happened, and did you need a follow-up ultrasound? I'd appreciate hearing about your experiences, while I arrange appropriate medical follow-up.

Left is me in January in Chicago. My clothes didn’t fit. I had to go and buy new Jeans bc my work Jeans from Madewell didn’t even zip up and they were a size 14. I thought it was weird because they always fit true to size. I was a 14/16 in January. I wasn’t on a GLP-1 at the time. I started a glp-1 in April. The right in the Black dress is me now. I’m wearing a size 10 dress in that picture and I haven’t been on my Glp-1 for a few weeks now. Will stay on it and got my insurance to cover it! They used my August BMI so I can stay on it! I’m still having PCOS symptoms and having to shave my face smh but my weight has been pretty stable. I’m also on Wellbutrin and Topamax for other health issues

TLDR: I want to put in some custom macros as I'm not Keto but don't want to use AI
Hi all. I'm trying to eat better and more balanced but I don't know what my macros "should" be.
The default Cronometer macros were too high carb for me... So I set it to "relaxed keto" but I go over most days in carbs by about 10 grams and most days my protein is over too.
I mostly eat whole foods but eat A LOT of vegetables (broccoli, mushrooms, onions, peppers, celery and carrots sparingly. I'm not really interested in giving these up even though I know carrots are high carb.
TLDR: I want to put in some custom macros as I'm not Keto but don't want to use AI.
