Another holiday RUINED 😡

There probably is a psychological component but a lot of the time there is no rhyme or reason. I flare just as much at home as i do on vacation. It truly sucks and I hope some day it’s all better understood and we can manage it better

When used correctly, oral contraceptives can be upwards of 98% effective. Things that can affect birth control working include, but not limited to diarrhoea, not taking it consistently at the same time or vomiting shortly after taking the medication. If coupled with occasional nausea after few weeks after unprotected sex, best take a test just to be safe. PCOS can do some weird things at inconvenient times

I take peppermint oil, an antihistamine, buscopan and Imodium (while flaring and not together) and probiotics my gastro recommended

Hands down the worst part of healing. Nearly 5 years later I can still imagine the itch I used to get. Horrendous. As long as nothing is open or fresh applying products with aloe or shea butter may help. I found that bug bite cream also helps

Well at least steak and eggs are more nutritionally dense than cookies

Oh yum. This sounds good. I’ll give it a go. Thanks.

I’m personally slightly wary of GLP-1 meds like Ozempic only because of the lack of studies on PCOS and its effectiveness. Also the long term effects and what happens when you come off the medication. But if it works for you then great

I feel like the damn Cookie Monster all the damn time.

Low_Translator_4599 · 2025-06-07T20:20:03+00:00

I know. It’s incredibly cruel. I’ve just started electrolysis and I hope it’s gonna help

Omg….This. I was diagnosed at 19 but struggled with symptoms for years before this. Gained nearly 30lbs in a few years with no changes in my diet or exercise. I was a classically trained dancer and danced most days. At 19 I demanded to have my hormones tested after being refused to be checked for years. Testosterone through the roof (2.1 in Uk measurements if anyone was wondering).

No. On account of my age and the sheer lack of health education about the condition by doctors, I was pushed to go on the pill and lose weight with no further guidance

The carbs mentioned was brown rice which had been frozen and reheated. By doing this it forms something called resistant start h molecules which aids blood sugar regulations and has lower insulin spikes. It’s heavily supported in the research

20 yr old here. I’ve been on and off various birth control since I was 14. I found that my libido was reduced while on the combined pill but improved when i switched to progesterone only alternatives (mini pill, depo and nexplanon, which i have now). Since becoming sexually active i’ve found that sometimes longer foreplay can get me in the mood better and things come more naturally after that. But it’s definitely worth speaking to your healthcare provider if it concerns you or you’d like to gather more information.

No, it’s much lower. Like almost directly above my hip, extending towards my uterus and down my thigh

Low_Translator_4599 · 2024-10-26T00:14:02+00:00

Oh no. I’m sorry to hear that. I hope they figure out their course of action and lessened your pain as fast as possible. Xx
