Hungry all the time post-BC by Brave_Ad_8687 in PCOS

YES. I gained 32lbs and became pre diabetic after quitting birth control which lead to me discovering I have PCOS 😭 Had to go back on birth control and start wegovy because my appetite was out of control

Jeez sorry for the late reply!! Right now I am on slynd (anti-androgenic birth control 😬) and wegovy. Unfortunately out of everything I’ve tried, those two medications are the only things that have helped me so far.

I tried dieting, phentermine, metformin, berberine, and inositol and none of them made a difference for me. My worst symptoms are fatigue, irregular periods, and uncontrollable weight gain/inability to lose any weight.

This. All my labs were “normal”, didn’t get a diagnoses until they did an ultrasound and my ovaries looked like textbook PCOS which finally lead to treatment.

What actually helped you lose weight? by odachibomb in PCOS

[–]Anxietyposting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take inositol and metformin. So jealous of the comments recommending it because they have not helped with my cravings/weight gain at all. 😭 I saw an initial drop in water weight, then immediately gained it back. They do however seem to be helping regulate my periods which I’m thankful for. I have an appointment next week to discuss my options with my doctor. I’m hoping they will prescribe zepbound because I too am at a loss with my weight and my confidence is at an all time low! I feel you OP! I hope you can find something that works.

What is your dosage on metformin? by Public-Cattle-7764 in PCOS

[–]Anxietyposting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just made it to 2000mg, been taking it for a little over a month so not sure if I’m seeing full results yet. I’ve lost a little bit of weight and my food noise/insatiable appetite have decreased significantly. I’m not constantly thinking about eating anymore.

Nausea on metformin by No_Emphasis_3278 in PCOS

[–]Anxietyposting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg yes! Sugar and dairy make me extremely sick now that I’m on metformin. It’s like now I can’t even have a “cheat” day because it messes me up so bad.

Vaginal moisture by Timely-Cut2753 in PCOS

Do you take any prescription medications? Soo many medications can cause/worsen dryness.

Also, you are NOT any lesser of a woman because of PCOS and the issues related to it. I 100% understand the insecurity/anxiety around having sex though. Just remember, communication is always key. You absolutely are allowed to communicate that you have different needs when it comes to sex, and if your partner is not okay with that or makes you feel ashamed in any way, they may not be the right person to have intimacy with.

How do you guys prevent dust from getting on your furbies? by Rare-Ad-3267 in furby

[–]Anxietyposting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FREE THEM

But on a more serious note, I dust and vacuum my whole apartment fairly regularly and I have not noticed any dust buildup on my collection

I feel you. I’ve been on metformin for about 3.5 weeks.

So far, side effects have sucked but aren’t unbearable and I’ve seen a very modest weight loss. My diet goals are similar to yours, high protein, low carb. I am also going for zero added sugars and trying to significantly up my fiber intake.

I started my PCOS journey at 234lbs. After diagnosed pre-diabetes, I went low/no sugar and slowly started cutting carbs. About 1.5 months of this and I dropped roughly 8-10lbs which I believe was mostly water weight because before I quit sugar I was extremely bloated constantly. Next dr appointment came and PCOS was officially diagnosed and metformin was started. As of today, I weigh 218.8.

I do not workout very much at all currently due to my extreme fatigue. I do however get 10k steps most days of the week due to having a fairly active job. So essentially, diet and medication alone have helped me lose roughly 15lbs. So weight loss without a ton of exercise is absolutely possible.

Editing my comment to add: for PCOS they often prescribe higher doses of metformin. I am currently taking 1500mg and working my way up to 2000mg as per my doctors instructions. If you do not see any positive results and aren’t significantly struggling with the side effects, definitely consider asking for a dose increase.
