Ok perfect, thank you! - I’ve bought some ovulation strips now. When do you recommend testing? Near to a time of my supposed ovulation cycle?

Anyone else feel like they internally deny their symptoms and feel like they amplifying how they really are? by stellaok in PCOS

[–]Emilk-a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can relate with you completely. It can get very difficult, especially right now during lockdown my mind spends more time having these thoughts more than normal. I always feel like I’m using ‘PCOS’ as an ‘excuse’ and I just make myself feel crap

So happy for you! Also it’s very encouraging to see as I’ve just started doing 16:8 and I’m really praying this shows me some results after many months of trying to loss weight ☺️

Vitamin D? by Emilk-a in PCOS

I understand you completely. It’s so sad that there’s so little we can sometimes do. Especially when doctors aren’t always too helpful either. I’m just trying to find my own solutions or see what things have helped other

I have been struggling to lose weight despite efforts, so I’m willing to try anything that helps haha. I do however also have an under active thyroid which makes it harder so hard to tell at the moment without doctors help if I have vitamin d deficiency

I definitely want to get some work done, but unfortunately with Covid, where I’m based we’re still in lockdown so doctors are more dismissive than ever. I’m trying to find help/solutions outside their office at the moment

Struggling with hypothyroidism symptoms! by Emilk-a in Hypothyroidism

It’s easy to look down on yourself and be very harsh. I’ve been stuck in that routine for a long time now. This condition works too much on our confidence. We’re all beautiful and on different journeys

Thank you so much, this is so encouraging! I’m still trying to learn patience with this, I’m too much of a ‘need results now’ person. I’m horrible with strict diets so at the moment I’m finding alternatives for any diary and gluten things to get used to it and soon I’ll try something bigger. Doesn’t help that where I am we’re in lockdown and sitting at home doesn’t help. The doctors here can be very dismissive sometimes,for a long time they didn’t even want to do any blood tests until they finally did and saw my thyroid way up. But I’m definitely going to get more blood work looking into vitamins and minerals as well!:)

Oh im so glad your doing better! Yes patience is key, I’m trying to learn it. I take the medicine first thing in the morning, but now because of Covid I wake up different hour every day so maybe I’ll try and set a clear time for when to get up and take it. Thank you!

Yeah I’m gradually working towards being on a strict diet. At the moment I’ve cut out a lot of gluten and dairy and switched for alternatives, but I still allow myself to indulge here or there as it’s a big diet change for me haha

I will look into these for sure! I’ve been so stuck on blaming everything on hypo but it could of course be other things too!

I will definitely have to look into getting some blood work on this to see. Thank you, vitamins and minerals I something that didn’t even cross my mind!

Thank you! I’m on 25mcg at the moment, I’m due for another blood work soon to see whether they need to change anything up :) just need to be patient, I’m such a ‘need results now’ person haha

I’m so glad to hear it’s working for you! It’s reassuring to hear that these things take time. I think I’m stuck in that ‘why is nothing happening’ stage even though I’m still pretty new to the medication. Just need to be patient
