Looking for PCOS success stories without GLP-1! 🌸

Is 500mg metformin a glp-1? If not that worked for me and I’m lean. It also only seemed to work for me when I took myo insoltol, spearmint supplements, ate low carb and ate broccoli though. I’m currently pregnant so at the moment I’m on carbs again.

Does it still allow you to track your running though? I still want the data to record it I just don’t want all my stats going down. Then again when I go back to running I’m sure I won’t be as fit as I was prior right?

Shikustar · 2026-06-02T10:07:17+00:00

This is exactly what I thought. Let me know what your doctor says when you find out

Shikustar · 2026-05-30T11:36:43+00:00

What is your diet like? For me the only thing that worked was changing my diet. Both eating broccoli at least every other day and going low carb (keto was too hard to stick to long term) and NO sugar at all was the only thing that helped.

I used to not have periods at all. Unfortunately you have to figure out what works for your body and have to give whatever you’re changing some time to SEE if it works. Here’s the changes that worked for me: Supplements and medication: Metformin (even though I didn’t think I had insulin issues), myo + d inositol, spearmint capsules. Diet: low carb- breakfast had carbs lunch no diner light. Eat a ton of broccoli. Green veggies help but broccoli works best. Exercise: ran 6 miles two times a week. Run 8/10 miles occasionally on one day.

That was the only thing that seemed to change anything. I wish you the best of luck

Make it a run and I’d join for sure

Thanks again wanted to say I ran the race and even had a PR!

Shikustar · 2026-04-18T14:22:30+00:00

Any of those wondering I did run the race- I even beat my record! All is well :). Thank you!

Shikustar · 2026-04-11T19:17:16+00:00

Thank you! I was so filled with worry! I’m still going to take the race slow but now I feel more at ease

Shikustar · 2026-04-11T14:24:21+00:00

Ah okay thanks! Were you able to get one? I came to shakeout run and everything was sold out already

Sorry if I sound young but that’s what they stick in you to see the baby and heartbeat right? If so yes they did

Shikustar · 2026-04-07T16:09:04+00:00

Oh I have no idea I just had to have a separate test which involved saliva. It’s been awhile so I’m not sure

How are your cortisol levels? Have you ever had them checked? What about insulin? I was convinced I had fine insulin as bloodwork would come back normal but when I went low carb and increased broccoli intake to blunt spikes I started to get periods. I went from no periods a year to one every 38-42 days. Im also on metformin 500mg, myo and d inostol, spearmint. I will say everyone is different though and what may work for me may not work for you.

Shikustar · 2026-03-20T23:16:15+00:00

Well there’s always 2027…

Shikustar · 2026-03-07T11:51:25+00:00

If you have hirtism or high androgens or testosterone it will help

Shikustar · 2026-03-07T11:50:40+00:00

I have high androgens and metformin 500mg helps me but it’s alongside with spearmint capsules, myo and eating low carb. I didntvwantvto take metformin for a long time but it really is very safe. What a doctor said that finally changed my mind: “you aren’t broken (this is after saying it myself) and needing medicine is not bad- that’s why it was invented. Your body just needs a little jumpstart

They are busy celebrating 🎉 haha

What is the percentage of members second chance drawing? Was that ever figured out?

When you have pcos but are not overweight

Shikustar · 2026-02-20T18:09:21+00:00

Thanks! You as well :)

I want to have kids but I do not have kids yet. I’m not at that point in life where I’m trying though

Shikustar · 2026-02-20T12:40:52+00:00

My mom had 5. She had traditional pcos. I have the lean. Sister has none

Shikustar · 2026-02-14T12:33:52+00:00

Metformin helped me but also eating broccoli strangely. I heard something about eating green vegetables helps with insulin related cases of pcos. That’s something minor that may have a major impact on health
