How's your PCOS management going? - Normally I have long and irregular cycles, but do ovulate. My O has gone missing, so I'm on a quest to lose the 10 lbs I've gained since getting pregnant with my daughter and see if I can get my O back!

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

It's nice to have newcomers here!

I'm doing okay. I am up a pound from last week and I don't know if it's the weight training, the diet, or something else.

I've also ramped up my cycling, so I'm riding twice during the work week and also during the weekends. I'm preparing to do the Tour de Cure and of course, I signed up the longest mileage possible and I have to be able to do it!

Hi
 

Hi Ladies, new member here I was diagnosed a few months ago but I have thought that I've had it for a while now.

* Who's here this month? I'm Tahra brand new to this board, looking for some help & support with this stinking PCOS.

* How are you? Okay. I'm getting there, a bit frustrated.

* What are you working on? Finding a balance and being consistent. I am an expert at doing well for two weeks then falling off the wagon and coming back to it. I want to while not be perfect be mindful and work at it consistently. I also really want to find a balance because I tend to go crazy hardcore then lose interest b/c of life events.

* How was last month? Stressful, I also just recently made a big move from CT to FL to go back to school, so quit my job, moving, going back to school and still trying to keep up a healthy routine has been tough.

* How's your PCOS management going? I'm trying to self manage it, I feel undecided as to weather I want to take birthcontrol and create a dependency on it or if i want to try and just use supplements. I am very interest in Insulite however its a big investment and if it doesn't work being a college student I don't want to waste the money. Any thoughts on the system would be appreciated.

But Hello ladies! I hope you all have a fab day.

check in i have a pre op assessment and scan next week i will let you know how it goes and if i get a date fr the laparoscopy xxx

Dad is home from hospital and predictably NOT taking his meds, acting out, etc. He has a doc appt Monday and I hope he keeps it. Why he has to be the hornery guy he is... ugh.

I got TOM, and I'm working on gluten free eating. So at least my baby steps are chugging along.

((((ems81wales)))

Hi I am Kristal
How are you?

How was last month?
Put on more weight
How's your PCOS management going?
My diagnosis of PCOS was more than five years ago and I have only just started reading up on it as I had no idea how serious it was. I managed to put on 40kg in one year, I had managed to maintain my weight and stay in my healthy range up until now. I had some emotional issues and yes I probably reached for the chocolate and bread a bit more than usual but nothing to warrant 40kg in one year.

I don't want to use POCS as an excuse for weight gain, but it does make you more sensitive to the finer things in life such as carbs.

I have enjoyed reading this forum and hope to be a part of it as soon as I read more.

Welcome Efendi!!

KellieGettingFit : GL on the TTC!

ems81wales : How was the op?

Efendi: Welcome on board!

I'm doing ok. Spent Thanksgiving with my sister and go home tomorrow. It was a much welcome break from eldercare! Not esp looking forward to getting back to it but at least I got a break.

Been reading more eldercare and still trying to find the balance between Dad's chronic patient needs and my own.

I know for christmas I'm going to buy him a memory minder like I use for my PCOS symptoms and stuff. I'll post the link in case anyone is looking for a health tracker like that.

I went wheat free all week until friday and I felt all bloaty and farty (I know, TMI). This makes me want to redouble the effort in getting wheat out of my diet. It def has a congestion and a digestive effect on me I could live without.

Hi guys!

That Heath Journal looks great. This is the second time I've seen it posted here and I think I want one of my own!

As for me, I've been sticking to my 161, despite the fact that I'm no longer sick. Did I mention I had another stomach virus last week? I lost 5 lbs or so immediately (as you can imagine!) but I haven't regained it all back. My boyfriend thinks that this is permanent if I can maintain it and that it's a result of all the weight lifting we were doing. We'll see if it stays. We haven't worked out in about a week and half, because I was sick, then got a really bad cold. We're starting again on Monday.

As for PCOS itself, I think it's coming along fine! I'm trying to watch what I eat and I am still playing around with food, as usual. But I'm happy to see my weight this low, even if it came at the expense of a stomach virus!

Who's here this month?
Hi, I'm new. I was diagnosed a week ago. I've been battling hormones for the last 4 years which was/is causing irritable bowel syndrome and 36 hour migraines.

How are you?
In a pretty bad place. Today I had my IR test. I had a massive dizzy spell after the test and despite having lunch managed to get dizzy and crash my car into a pillar while trying to park it. I wasn't injured but was very very shaken by it. I am not sure what to think after being that dizzy after the test. I was nauseous as soon as I drank the solution so I'm not sure if it was related or just due to the long fasting period. Either way I am now very very emotional and wishing that I lived closer than a 7 hour plane journey from my mom!

What are you working on?
Finding out what is going on with me. I've chosen to go on the pill full time after chatting with my gynea about all the options. She feels that since I am having migraines while not on the pill from the hormonal dips and IBS intermittently that the progesterone tablets to bring on a period will make me have more episodes of migraine and IBS. As I've been having migraines in my free week while on the pill she has asked me to take it everyday and not take the week off.

How was last month?
Last month was a loooong wait for a period I thought was never going to arrive... then I got to wish it didnt when I missed two days of work in agony with pains.

How's your PCOS management going?

Come back to me next month.

I would welcome any advice from people who have had this for years! Was my episode earlier normal? How long will it take to get my results from the lab?
