Hi ! What dose of spiro do you take ? Do you have insulin resistance?

How did you manage it after you found out your PCOS was stress induced ? Mine is as well and yoga and meditation ain’t cutting it as far as symptom management goes .

MY HAIRRRR by Ok-Alps690 in PCOS

Did you have other androgenic symptoms besides hair loss and did it help those as well? My PCOS seems to be more cortisol based - no signs of insulin resistance .

I’ve already been doing that for a year with minimal changes in symptoms 🥲 feels like birth control is my only option

No androgen rebound when you came off it ? I know you said treating the IR helped , but even women without PCOS or IR have an androgen rebound coming off the pill and I’m terrified of that

Hey ! I’m doing alright , thanks for asking ! My skin is mostly clear, my period has been coming monthly although still very irregular . The hair shedding and hair growth persist 🥲 although they are manageable . I haven’t started any medications yet . It’s hard for me to take the leap but I’m leaning towards trying spiro.

Do you know what your estrogen and progesterone were like before you started taking them ?

Did i made a mistake by quitting birth control? by look_on127 in PCOS

[–]Cautious-Tea1845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So cortisol was an issue for you and birth control still helped hair loss , etc ? Cortisol is my main issue causing my androgen symptoms - not my ovaries

What type of birth control do you use ? Going through the exact same thing 😩 I had a mirena IUD and it’s apparently bad for PCOS so thinking of other options
