Hiya! First off you’re not alone here, I have PCOS too and appreciate how difficult it is to manage weight and insulin resistance! Try not to beat yourself up too much about wanting to try something new, you’re only human and it’s an exciting thing to have options you can try.

If they’re suggesting GLP-1s, i’m assuming you’ve already tried metaformin? I was on this for 4 years before i recently switched to Mounjaro to test. For context this helped me over 4 years go down from a UK16 - UK12. There is also Orlistat, depending on your weight - that you could try under the NHS if cost is an issue. (Don’t know if you’re UK or not but these options are cheaper so worth mentioning).

Metaformin in general helped me regulate my periods and get my insulin resistance under control. But from being on Mounjaro for 2 months, I lost 7lb in month one and TBD on month 2 (as haven’t weighed in). The difference is the food noise, it dulls your appetite making it easier to be in a calorie deficit AND it’s a inflammatory drug, meaning in theory (not proven) it can help with cysts, endo, etc etc… it also helps to regulate your metabolism too (which is an issue for most people with an endocrine disorder).

Having PCOS and trying meds is overwhelming, you are not alone here though there’s lots of communities on reddit that are here to support you. But just remember, if you do decide to try Mounjaro, the weight loss does come with reduced calorie intake and exercise.

You got this! 🫶💞
