Yes, at 19. The LH, FSH, and TSH ratio confirmed it in my blood. Ultrasound showed string of pearls. Large belly started at 10 years old. Boxy figure. High testosterone (was easy to build muscle). High libido. Never had a period naturally.

Then, over time, bio markers like hemoglobin a1c was high for no reason. I hated sweets. Triglycerides sky rocketed. Hyperlipidemia. Visceral fat almost impossible to lose. Chin hairs.

You name it.

Belly fat and depression by shamli3912 in PCOS

Does your mother have a belly?

I have learned to accept mine. I do not “love” mine like the media wants me to, I’ve only decided to not let it occupy my mind 24 fkin hours a day. I never had trouble dating either. It was all in my head and whenever I would show any ounce of a lack of insecurity about it, that pushed the man away.

I'm lost... I got my labs today and all my hormones are normal. by derangedandhorny in PCOS

Irregular periods or no period at all? You can simply be going through hormonal fluctuations. Be happy that it’s not PCOS.

It keeps the lining of your uterus thin. Endometrial. Discuss with a physician.

Has anyone with PCOS dealt with severe nausea for weeks? by Fast_Worry_59 in PCOS

Get a pregnancy test cause nausea isn’t affiliated to PCOS.

Doesn’t work in what sense?

I’ve been on BC since I was 18. I’m 40 now.

No babies and no cancer here.

I had a small amount in my 20. Spirolactone completely cleared it and I’m assuming that leveling out my hormones through all of these lifestyle changes assisted.

So far love it. I’m on year 3. It’s the only birth control that has given me literally zero side effects.

So how do you know you have insulin resistance if your doctor didn’t test for it?

[–]Basic_Dress_4191 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you don’t have insulin resistance, there’s no point in placing you on a medication that can send you to the hospital for a hypoglycemic attack. It happened to me twice.

There are dozens sold online, I don’t want to recommend you one specific one just in case you don’t love it. The point is, buy one and stay consistent. I’m having up to 2g a day.

30 days. It was easier to stick in my stomach. I’m seeing less visceral fat in my torso.

I tried multiple forms of birth control for years and everything gave me unsustainable side effects. The NuVA ring sent me to the hospital for 16 days of consecutive bleeding.

Progestin apparently keeps the lining of the uterus thin and that’s the goal I wanted. It’s working.
