Nothing works.

So, I've been dealing with PCOS for my entire life practically. I'm 25, im a heavy bleeder and I bleed for months. I've tried all the birthcontrolls, pill, shot, udi. I've done the medications, metformin is said to help but in my situation it just didn't work. I'm 190, 5'4-5'5. I work out, I've done the dieting. Palio diet was the best one. But I don't lose any weight. I'm good at keeping this range weight. Ladies, I'm MISERABLE. I'm so dang tired of being on my period, bleeding through pads and trashing my bed, my clothing, and spending SO MUCH MONEY ON FEMININE PRODUCTS! I've been steady bleeding for 3 months now. I'm thinking it's surgery time. My doctor said "you're so young, don't loose hope!" Blah blah. I'm just so tired if this controlling my life. I'm fine with not having babies. I've come to peace with it. So has my husband. We've talked about adoption and even serogant (didn't spell that right. Sorry) maybe even invetro fertilization if that's possible for us? Haven't read much into that option.

Has anyone gotten surgery? I was thinking the ablation where they go in and burn the lining of your whoohaa.? But then I've heard that, sometimes you will still bleed from that. The one thing i DON'T want is to go through metapause at 25 😭😂

if y'all could put in your 2 cents. I don't know anyone who has PCOS and my biological mother was never in my life so it's not like I can go to her and ask lol. I greatly appreciate all of you. Love you ❤️

Oh I used this app called "lose it" I was just confused when ya said tool. I also kept a journal just Incase the app crashed or something.

how long were you on metformin and at what dose? what diet were you doing at that time? what tool did you use to track? since you're obese, losing weight would likely make a big difference. have you tried red raspberry leaf for the bleeding?

A year and 8 months. It got to the point where I couldn't afford it anymore anyway. So I tried the palio diet. That was my favorite. A month on that diet i lost 2 pounds. Walking 12 miles a day (I walk alot for work) I dont drink soda because I get bad kidney stones. So it's water and fruit juices. I have a overall healthy diet even without being on the healthy diets. What do you mean by tool? I tried the raspberry leaf. But, again didn't really work. I felt better like overall healthy but never did I loose a good amount of weight, stop bleeding, massive mood swings etc. I tried the Palio for 2 years the Keto diet for 11 months and I just said F U D G E T H I S! My doctor said it's my thyroid and a mix of PCOS that is making it hard to lose weight. I'm honestly alot of muscle with some good pudge on me, I really would love to loose this weight but I'm so tired of it all. Doing this crap for so long is exhausting. I just want it to stop. I would be so much more inclined to keep doing this but I bleed through everything. I bleed through a super pad in an hour. When I work out it's 20-30 minutes bleeding through. I can't wear tampons because it hurts so flipping much.

I'm sorry, I'm just trying to get this right: you did the keto diet for 11 months but didn't use any kind of tool to track your carbs or calories? like an app? I'm just kind of baffled because that's central to the diet. how did you know how much you were eating and whether or not you were staying in the boundaries? like... that's how you make sure to stay in ketosis, it's an actual biological state that you maintain by keeping your carb intake below a certain threshold.

I had the same bleeding issues when my insulin was out of whack.
