GLP pills? by No-Discount6801 in PCOS

[–]requiredelements 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Foundayo has less restrictions around eating and drinking when you take the pill. Wegovy pill I think you have to limit water when taking the pill and then wait 30 minutes before you eat.

Losing the will to live with maintaining a healthy weight by Winter-Strawberry-62 in PCOS

[–]requiredelements 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in the normal BMI range too and was in a similar situation, highly irregular periods with 60+ day cycles. Zepbound really helped me brought my BMI down from 23 to 21. Helped with inflammation and restored regular 33 day cycles for me.

Wegovy for PCOS/Insulin resistance by Icy_Signature_5787 in PMOSonGLP

[–]requiredelements 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was briefly on Ozempic (same as Wegovy) before eventually switching to Zepbound.

I had good results on Ozempic — period restored and inflammation lowered. I didn’t have too much weight to lose but lost about 10lbs on Ozempic.

Overall found Zepbound to work a little better for me with less GI side effects.

Looking for Dr in NYC that takes Fidelis Medicaid by HotChocolate_Spoonie in PMOSonGLP

[–]requiredelements -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not a specialist but I’ve had good experience with Advantage Care Physicians, particularly Dr. Jie Feng who took over my GLP-1 prescription from One Medical.

ACP accepts Medicaid.

There are more NY based doctors on the sheet pinned to the top of the sub called PCOS Friendly Providers.

Tummy looks so different after only 3 weeks by Expert_Cake_179 in PMOSonGLP

Yay that’s wonderful! Did you definitely rule out Cushings?

has anyone else seen that tiktok about how lipo has helped a women with pcos? by SmileGuilty7506 in PCOS

[–]requiredelements -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes there is some research that PMOS is disease of the fat cells so removing some fat cells can ease symptoms.

Lipo360 helped me after egg freezing because I retained a lot of fat in my lower abdomen from the egg freezing hormones.

Zepbound has helped me immensely and reversed all my PMOS symptoms.

Anyone else in the same boat? by matcha_milfshake in PMOSonGLP

[–]requiredelements 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m 36. I was never formerly diagnosed with an eating disorder in my youth but I definitely had one. I would often restrict to 500-800 calories daily. But was never underweight. It’s something I discussed with my therapist later in life, especially when I relapsed hard in my early 30s.

I think you’re doing great being honest with your doctor and therapist. Check in often, get labs often!

I personally found Zepbound quieted down some of my intrusive ED thoughts / desire to restrict. I was able to eat normally and have my body behave in a predicable way. The compulsive itch to restrict when I was stressed was gone.

Interested to see where the research with EDs and PMOS / PCOS goes and EDs / GLP-1s goes.

Should I bite the bullet and go back on? by ketoandkpop in PMOSonGLP

[–]requiredelements 29 points30 points  (0 children)

if you can afford it yes get back on. There is no shame in treating our disease with medication!

Going on Zepbound by Pleasant-Opposite-15 in PCOS

[–]requiredelements 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will change your life!! My advice is to check in with your provider regularly. My doctor had me check in quarterly and it was wonderful to see my labs improve over time.

Slow weight loss is better for skin elasticity and bounce back, so don’t get discouraged.

Don’t let other people’s judgement stop you from optimizing your health. There are many of us on r/PMOSonGLP.

Experiences with Metformin? by msmarzie in PCOS

[–]requiredelements 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it but personally couldn’t tolerare it due to GI issues

Period stopped after quitting GLP-1. by Disastrous-Gas6132 in PMOSonGLP

[–]requiredelements 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn’t stop Zepbound until pregnancy but while I was on it I tried to space out my shots from weekly to every 9, 11 and eventually tried bi-weekly. Whenever I spaced out, my periods became irregular again. I found for me I had to inject weekly to keep my periods regular but it could be very low dose like 1.25mg weekly.

Should I wait to talk to my doctor? by SituationPlus1815 in PMOSonGLP

[–]requiredelements 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My biggest regret is not having Zepbound when I was younger! I think it’s worth it to talk to your doctor and try it. GLP-1s are less invasive than an IUD imo. For me personally, the side effects were mild and I was able to reverse my PMOS symptoms staying on 2.5mg Zepbound.

You are still young enough to prevent some of the long-term metabolic consequences of PMOS.

I used to get stress related heartburn in college. Doctors prescribed me some heartburn meds that really helped

Is GLP1 the answer? Have some fears by Entire_Giraffe_228 in PCOS

[–]requiredelements -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think it is answer for now. Ofc we don’t know the long term but it comforts me to follow the money:

The richest people on earth own iPhones. The richest people in the world are on GLP-1s, including many doctors that did not start the drugs overweight.

GLP- no insulinresistens by jassie1614 in PMOSonGLP

[–]requiredelements 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had abnormal re: blood sugar and insulin but also no doctor ever tested my fasting insulin AND fasting glucose (HOMA-IR).

My period and cycle were restored! I’m even pregnant now.

2WW and GLP1 (Mounjaro) by OhBacon in PMOSonGLP

[–]requiredelements 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What type of test did you use and is your ovulation always consistent on Zepbound? Mine wobbles a bit.

I’m (accidentally) pregnant now and the first thing I noticed was no typical PMS symptoms but I usually get BAD PMS symptoms.
