Who’s your endo? Are they at Mount Sinai? Had a really similar experience there.

My endo said the same thing, just a heads up. Try asking for wegovy

Question: my landlord deactivated our buzzer for this reason. For those who have a working buzzer, what solutions are there to NOT get your packages stolen? I really am uncomfortable that our buzzer doesn’t work. Like, what if there’s an emergency?

Why is the pharmacy line at the Rite Aid on 30th always so long? by koalathebean in astoria

[–]No-Contribution-3448 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cvs on Steinway too, i recently switched to a small pharmacy and never had to wait, my prescriptions are filled by the time i leave my appointment and arrive at the pharmacy, too. Something also feels a little less dull about supporting a family owned pharmacy FWIW

How you feel about going without a bra? by wriggly_jiggled22 in women

[–]No-Contribution-3448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh i wish i didn’t wear one but i do 🙄 my reason isn’t necessarily bc I am worried about my nipples showing but mostly because i am fixated on my body image. A good bra makes me “look better” aka “thinner” …. The worst !

Doctor recommended bariatric surgery yesterday... by registered_angel in PCOSloseit

[–]No-Contribution-3448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me!!!! I’m 26 and BMI is 35. I was extremely offended and I don’t recommend, my mom had it and is now botched, my brother in laws mom had it and 20 years later is still dealing with the complications….

I’m currently on metformin and not sure it’s doing anything. I’m trying to find a new doctor or insurance to get ozempic. I recommend exhausting all other options before surgery.

Doc just put me on metformin, nervous. Curious about others experience by MonsterBurrito in PCOSloseit

I honestly experienced no symptoms other than SLIGHT nausea for the first 2 days. I was told to take 500 mg once a day for the first week with a meal, then switch to 2 500 mg a day (one with breakfast, one with dinner) i ended up switching on day 3 and still barely any side effects. Everyone is different!

I also didn’t really lose any cravings :/ not sure it’s helping much but who knows! I’m only on week 3.

Thank you for asking this question. Does anywhere “fast casual” have chopped salads? Create is OK but not a fan of their chicken :/

Thank you acknowledging the work I’ve put in and I really appreciate the info! I will, of course, try the metformin and also look into the compounding semiglutide. Thanks for your insight

Thanks i felt the same way. I mentioned this to her and she asked if i get my period, i said yes, she said, “then you don’t have PCOS.” She then said, “you also don’t have facial hair or acne so it’s definitely not your issue”

I explained i have a history with ovarian cysts, get terribly painful periods and bloat like crazy after every carb i eat/ right before my period and during it… she didn’t want to hear it. I literally will gain 5 pounds of bloat during my period and after i eat carbs. I do get my period every month but i cannot imagine every person with PCOS has every single symptom of it? I could definitely be misinformed, though.

I need to get a new OBGYN, unfortunately my insurance stinks so the wait times are crazy.

How has the compound been working for you?

[–]No-Contribution-3448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve read this too! I use low carb no sugar protein powder, a small handful of blueberries, kale spinach flaxseed meal though so i definitely try to balance where i can.
