PCOS??

Question

Okay. So me and my SO have been trying for about 9 months. I weight about 220, I’m starting to think I have pcos due to some symptoms; unwanted hair growth (back, butt and little on my face) mild acne, and being a tad overweight. My periods are always regular, if not it’s only a day or 2 late. I go to the doctor on May 29th. I was just wanting to get some info from some ladies that have this SAME problem. What to ask the Dr., what medicines I can look into being put on (speaking this my first app. About infertility) and just to hear some success stories. I also try to eat clean for the most part, and try to exercise everyday!! Need some help ladies!!!💕💕💕

Answer

Your doctor will want to confirm a PCOS diagnosis before they will set up a plan of attack for managing it. That being said- most doctors want to put you on birth control or Metformin or a medication similar to those. 
DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. I say that boldly not in a jerk way but in a way to let you know how absolutely crucial it is for you to do so- because it’s been my experience that most doctors have a general thing they do for any woman with PCOS and when you do the research it might not be the best for you specifically. 
Research Vitex, Myinositol, Natural progesterone cream, fiber, and other natural remedies and see what you think about those. 1) most natural remedies do not come with the risks of the meds that a doctor will try and prescribe you 2) they are way more gentle and yet can be just as effective on the body. 
Example- I was put on birth control and had a stroke last year at the age of 23 due to it. (I am in NO way saying that this happens to everyone- I am just saying that it was a possibility that my doctor never spoke to me about and looking back and knowing what I do now- I would have never chosen that path for myself). What I am saying is I have had more success with managing my PCOS with diet, exercise, and natural supplements than I have with the typical meds that a doctor prescribes. 
PCOS is one of those things where you have to take the reins and take control of managing it and what things you are willing to try to do so. It’s a lot of work and a lot of research- but it’s the only way to find what works best for you. 👍🏼
