So turns out I do have Poly cystic ovarian syndrome. My doctor was very nice about telling me im fat lol. She told me she wants me to loose 10 lbs within the next 3 months and really keep track of my calories.. Im on meds now to regulate my periods i guess and she said that it SHOULD help me lose weight too as long as I watch what i eat.. And on top of that she wants me to go to the gym 5 nights a week for an hour at a time.. lol Should be fun.. Wish me luck!
I feel you're pain I have PCOS as well. It's not as horrible as it's hyped up to be but sometimes it makes losing weight really difficult. I wish you luck. Hope it all works out well With that amount of exercise you'll definitely see results!
Ya ive known for a while i had it, ever since i had a cyst rupture when i was pregnant but they never officially diagnosed me lol.. Sucks but oh well, hopefully ill loose this darn weight! I just need to find the time to get to the gym...
I recently found out I have the same thing too...well it sucks a lot!! I don't yet know what I am going to do for it but...we will have to see...but good luck...I am hoping if I lose weight this will help itself...keep in touch and let me know how every thing is going on your end...I would love to hear from somebody who's doctor actually cares right away...lol
gotta say tho, im kinda gonna miss only having my period like 2x a year! haha My drs wont put me on birth control because of the type of migraines i get.. i dunno something about a higher chance of stroke..
wow yeah...I don't have that problem...I never only had my period only 2xs...lol it sucks a lot..I have been on the pill since I got my period at 15...and it sucks...
Ya if im not on the pill I dont ovulate, and if i do its very light only for a couple days. But now these pills im on are supposed to help regulate my hormones.. :-( I guess its a good thing haha..
Yeah I know about those hormones...they make me more of a uber b****...Yeah I always have my period...I just got off having it for 2 months straight...yeah...sucks...but its gone now and i'm not questioning it...lol
not sure if you found it already, but we have a special pcos group in dieting with obstacles.
what kind of medication did your doc put you on? starting on metformin in october totally screwed up my digestive system, but it also made it possible for me to lose weight. so i guess it's a tradeoff...
I just got diagnosed with PCOS too. And I am on metformin as well. Its crazy how many of us are dealing with the same things. My Dr didn't put me on the pill cause DH and I are trying to have kids, and well that would just mess things up.
I hate met. Made me so sick. the only reason I lost weight on it is because I couldn't eat! I was on it for about 6 months and my symptoms didn't go away. I'm going to ask about met XR which is released into your system slowly so the side effects are supposed to be easier.
I wanted to go on the pill as well but the doc explained that if you're on the pill when you're over weight you're more at risk for blood clots and like you guys said a stroke.
My trip to the doctor..
With that amount of exercise you'll definitely see results!
