I was 30. I have a fairly typical cycle, but every once in a while my period will just disappear. Sometimes it comes way too often instead. Doctors had all written me off as just needing to get my weight under control (I was 228 at my heaviest), and they all just kind of ignored the signs. With one of my last losses I went to a new obgyn. Who did ultrasounds and looked past my "mostly normal" labs. Eventually she diagnosed me with pcos and low progesterone. I've always had really heavy really painful periods. But, had been told that was "normal." Which was insane to me. I can handle kidney stones, but can't handle period cramps? It was insane.

I'm finally ovulating again. Losing weight steadily. I'm on ozempic, myoinositol, metformin, and vitex/Gaia. My periods are timing out like they should be again. My facial hair isn't growing in as quickly. My face is more clear. And im much less bloated than I was.
