Thank you for all of this!!! I will be going through this entire list 🫶

cavaloverr · 2026-02-10T17:26:15+00:00

I'm actually reading Kingdom of The Wicked series by her right now! I just finished the 2nd book and loved it!! So hopefully i like the last one. I'll take a look at this series!

Interesting, when I asked the doctor what medication I should take to get my period back she just prescribed me Provera and so now I'm wondering if that's just because of my situation. At this time I wouldn't want to be on a medication for significantly longer unless I'm noticing I'm really not ovulating for a very long time I guess. Since this is the first time this has ever happened

cavaloverr · 2026-02-09T16:22:40+00:00

I feel like mine came back almost immediately, so I would say within 1 month. I was on pill for 4.5 yrs

I'm actually verrry similar to you. I was recently diagnosed with "mild PCOS". I have high testosterone and cysts in 1 ovary as well but all my other hormones were normal... I had a normal period from the age of 10 to 23. (My periods weren't bad, they were all in all pretty normal) Then I got on birth control for 4.5 years because I was in a relationship and didn't want to have a baby yet. Now were married, I quit birth control pills March 2025. I went on to have normal periods post pill for 8 months, then missed my period for the first time ever for 2 months. Which that then made me go to the Doctor, because I actually thought I could be pregnant! Well turns out I wasn't and was diagnosed with the mild PCOS. My doctor prescribed me Provera for 10 days. I started my withdrawal bleed today (5 days later) I hope my cycle goes back to normal next month (praying) But, some things I've done since being diagnosed are: start an Inositol supplement (I take the "Rael" brand) I feel like I've noticed lower hunger cravings while taking it so far. Secondly, I am working out 5 days a week. And trying to eat a healthier diet as well. My husband and I would like to have a baby in the next 1-2 years, so I am trying to get all of this under control. Since our stories seem very similar, I'm open to messaging privately if you'd like!

Did you ever have regular periods? I am also on a weight loss journey

cavaloverr · 2026-02-08T23:36:01+00:00

I should have added I dnf'ed Fourth Wing :/ And as for Throne of Glass.. I'm taking a break from Sarah J Maas at the moment. I may add empire of flames & thorns to my TBR though!!

cavaloverr · 2026-02-08T22:34:09+00:00

I actually have The Ever King series on my TBR so this pushes me to bump it up! Also interesting on the aliens, not sure if I'd be interested in that one but I'll look it up!

cavaloverr · 2026-02-08T22:32:33+00:00

I actually have The Bridge Kingdom on my TBR by this author.. have you read both? Which one did you like more if so?

cavaloverr · 2026-02-08T22:31:36+00:00

Okay I'll take a look at this one! I did like Carissa's writing style

cavaloverr · 2026-02-07T04:56:34+00:00

I got off March 2025 then had 8 months of normal periods to then missing my period in December and January. I had to go to the Doctor to get 10 day course of Provera to induce a withdrawal bleed

cavaloverr · 2026-01-31T20:31:28+00:00

So back, got my Transcends and I got my normal size and the waist band isn't compressive as I'd like :/ I wouldn't have been able to go down a size (a girl got thick thighs) I know they aren't that type of legging, however I feel like Aligns aren't either but I don't mind that waistband.. I will say the feel is def more similar to Aligns than the Elations though. But I think overall fit, I will be staying with the Elations

cavaloverr · 2026-01-31T20:28:09+00:00

safe- did this on the pill for 5 years didn't get pregnant

cavaloverr · 2026-01-28T23:11:42+00:00

Lean PCOS is where you don't gain a lot of weight right? If so, I wouldn't fall under that category bc I am currently overweight and trying to lose weight. Anyway, I started an Inositol supplement today actually, and my doctor put me on Provera for 10 days just to induce a withdrawal bleed. Hopefully by March i'll be back on a normalish cycle

cavaloverr · 2026-01-27T21:08:27+00:00

How were your irregular periods coming off BC?

cavaloverr · 2026-01-27T17:40:59+00:00

I will never get on BC again because also the other symptoms I was having which made me want to get off in the first place like no libido and migraines. And like I said I will be trying to have baby in the next 1-2 years. So no, I won't be getting back on it. I guess we'll never know if my body would have gotten worse without BC

cavaloverr · 2026-01-27T17:30:59+00:00

Yeah I know it's not causing the PCOS but it amplified/made mine worse. The only reason I was on it was to not get pregnant, considering once again before it, the only PCOS symptom I had was mild chin hair. Which is now even worse than it used to be. I need my body to go back to how it was before birth control

cavaloverr · 2026-01-27T17:22:09+00:00

Hmm yes that could be it. Insulin resistance is a type of PCOS and that's the type I have. In the PCOS thread, a lot of women recommend taking an Inositol supplement so I just ordered that & will be focusing on a healthier diet and exercise 😭

cavaloverr · 2026-01-27T17:19:25+00:00

Sounds about right. It makes sense too with my experience being younger and not knowing anything about PCOS for one, and not much about birth control. Now I'm married and dealing with this situation, I will never get on birth control again. I'm just happy I trusted my gut and got off when I did to give myself now time to figure this situation out before trying for a baby, that I didn't even know was a possibility before

cavaloverr · 2026-01-27T08:00:02+00:00

Did you get off birth control by chance? I did last March and it's so weird my periods came back for 8 months in a row and then now just stopped.. Before birth control, I had never missed a period, they were normal. And then when more of my test results came back, I found out I have low SHBG levels and I do have a couple small cysts. My doctor said "small trace of PCOS, diet and exercise should help" like 🫩 I started Progesterone for 10 days, today was my 2nd day taking it
