PCOS? polycystic ovarian syndrome

Question

Anyone else have PCOS and what treatments do you use that work? I am nervous about starting birth control as a possible treatment and was wondering what else could help. Thanks ❤️

Answer

Me 🙋🏼 I take metformin to help me break down carbs since my body doesn't do that properly and birth control to help regulate my periods. When I first was diagnosed and had an ultrasound, I had the string of pearls on my ovaries. But last week when I went back and had another ultrasound, they were gone! My ovaries are normal 😁 This is because taking the birth control and metformin reversed the effects of my PCOS. Exercise and a good diet are also key in making this condition better.

Answer

I've heard women say that diet and exercise has worked miracles for them.

Answer

Just wondering for symptoms like acne and weight fluctuation. I'm currently an 18 year old

Answer

It depends on what your symptoms are. I have PCOS. My main symptoms were infertility and insulin resistance. So I was put on metformin. It helped with both symptoms. I now have a 19 month old. I'm no longer taking metformin now that I'm losing weight. My doctor believes my PCOS is caused by a hormone imbalance because of my weight. As soon as I'm back to a healthy weight, my insulin resistance should reverse itself. And if not? Well, I've lost weight! So at least I look good? 😂
