What’s your PCOS like?

Question

Okay so I Have a period every month, or at least every 6 weeks. My face breaks out just a little , but not to noticeable. When I’m on my menstrual they go away. I don’t really experience pain when I’m on my period, but slight cramping before. My breast never hurt. I don’t grow excessive amount hair on my face and I’m also a good weight being I’m 5’4  135lb. Doctors don’t know if I’m ovulating but I’m pretty sure I am. Just want to learn the difference in everyone’s PCOS because I know most people experience different things. Feel free to share.😁

Answer

I’m a gym rat, so pretty muscular at 5’2 142lbs, my period causes me fairly bad cramping, thin blonde facial hair...not bad, YET

Answer

Well, I’m one of the unlucky ones. I have excess body hair; have to take care of that daily.😞 I’m very overweight, but it’s practically impossible to lose weight, even with a healthy diet and exercise. I rarely get my period, as in haven’t had it naturally for two years. My doctor put me on progesterone pills in January to help regulate and AF came, but it was like the Red Sea for 10 days. It was awful, but thank the Lord for tolerable pain. Haven’t had my period since.

Answer

I am thin, don't suffer from excess body hair,  and have normal blood sugar levels, but I have super irregular periods and high testosterone. They were regular for a few months after getting off birth control, but then I had a 60 day cycle followed by a 137 day cycle, and am currently around CD 45 (I don't look everyday because it annoys me). I have been on Ovasitol for a little over a month and am hoping it will regulate my cycle. I've felt awful the last few weeks... dramatic mood swings, cramps, super sore breasts, nausea, and lots of discharge with some EWCM, so I think my body is trying to ovulate.

Answer

I just have been diagnosed with PCOS after   TTC since January with no luck. After getting off the pill and my period not coming back in 3 months, my GYN put me on provera and my period came back in April. Since then I have only had two periods and have not confirmed ovulation when testing with strips. I do get cramping before and at the beginning. I am going to be starting fertility and hope that I can get my cycle and ovulation on track so that my husband and I can start a beautiful family.

Answer

I also am 5’7” and 140 pounds, exercise daily, eat healthy, no hair growth, and a type 1 diabetic.

Answer
