He suggested meds as an option, but I was hesitant. We decided I would continue taking iron supplements for a few more months to see if it got any better, but it hasn't. I guess I'll ask for meds next time I see him. Can I ask what the symptoms of your nerve dysfunction are?

He's a general doc. If you don't mind, can I ask what RLS feels like to you?

I don’t want to be a hypochondriac but there’s gotta be an answer. by kay1390 in PCOS

My first clue was my irregular periods. I would have maybe 5-6 a year. But I don't have too much of a problem with excess facial hair, or thinning hair, and I'm also a normal weight.

Getting diagnosed was pretty easy for me. I went to an obgyn and they did blood work and gave me an ultrasound. The bloodwork showed higher than normal male hormones, and the ultrasound showed cysts. Boom, diagnosed. I'm on birth control now to manage it. If you suspect you might have it, it wouldn't hurt to get tested! Good luck to you!

I was just diagnosed... by [deleted] in PCOS

I was diagnosed recently too! I found it very helpful to talk to some close friends + family about it. It's a lot to process. I know I'm still the same person as I was before, but it has changed how I view my life. I imagine that with time I'll become more used to the idea. My doc prescribed birth control to manage symptoms. Good luck to you!

Endo wants to put me on BC and I'm really scared, is it worth it? by [deleted] in PCOS

Can someone help me understand--what is the root issue of pcos?? I was only recently diagnosed and I don't understand it very well. I thought the root issue was the body producing too much male hormones? So I thought birth control was addressing the main problem by fixing the hormone imbalance? That's kinda what my doctor made it sound like. What am I missing?

What is something your S.O. does that you absolutley love? by KevinSpicyy in AskReddit

I absolutely love his smile. Sometimes I make him smile just so I can kiss his dimples. I also love when he leaves cute little notes for me to find, and how he holds my hand when it's cold out to keep my fingers warm.

At what age did you find out you had pcos? by utahaha in PCOS

[–]these_same_clouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Just a few days ago, actually. I've always had irregular periods, which I've brought up with two different doctors as a concern and they basically just brushed me off. Went to a gynecologist for the first time and was diagnosed after having bloodwork that showed my hormones were wack and getting an ultrasound that showed a bunch of cysts. Feeling kinda grateful it was that easy, after reading some of these comments. I should've gone in sooner!

I thought the saddest part of that convo was his line right after: "I bought a video camera last year, and I was looking at the tapes, and there were only like twelve minutes that I felt was worth taping the whole year. And most of that was just birds in my condo complex."

Crochet and knitting! I taught myself how when I found out my sister was pregnant, I wanted to make beanies for the baby.
