It's been a barrel of fun :grumble:0 -
These are mine:
Extremely heavy & painful periods
Acne
Dark skin in thighs/underarm areas
Chronic Exhaustion
Excessive hair growth on upper lips, under my chin, on my lower stomach, and on my fingers/toes (I'm hairy
)
And I have only had success with weight loss when I follow a Paleo-style diet.0 -
Constant shedding of hair, in shower, every where. Chin achne and 5-6 whiskers to pluck each day. Problems losing from stomach area, sweet cravings, slow weight loss even at 1200 cals, low energy. Sucks.0

Oh and two miscarriages and one ruptured cyst. I do have normal periods and two kids though.0

extra hair anywhere, everywhere
when on hormonal birthcontrol: dark patches of skin

Before I was diagnosed, I had gained 50+lbs in a year! Hair loss, hair growth under chin, and would go months w/o period followed by weeks of bleeding. Suffered at least one miscarriage. Then I went on BC and lost 30lbs in 3 months...hair growth slowed and 4 years later was able to get preg. Naturally right away. That was over 13 years ago, now my symptoms are suffered another miscarriage, weight gain...slower this time but unable to lose it even with BC. Hairloss, and hair growth under chin, and now I have insulin resistance... sigh ...I have a ton of other health problems that I hope are related, but not sure they are. Like fatigue, migraines,and anxiety. I guess it's different for everyone.0

Mine are:
- excessive hair in areas there shouldn't be
- weight gain and hard to loss weight
- sharp pains in right side once a month
- light or none existant period (although since my weight loss i have been regular)
- dark patches in certain areas on skin
- acne issues
Since i've been on Metformin and lost the weight many of the symptoms have subsided which is great. I was diagnosed at age 11 and didn't get much info at the time so it's been great to finally have the meds i need and have had the effects explained to me by a endo.0 -
My symptoms are:
-dark patches (neck, armpits, other places)
- a lot of dark hair (everywhere - I shave daily)
- I gained about 50-60 lbs in 18 months
- can't lose weight for anything (when I'm not on Metformin)
- acne
- heavy periods that would last for weeks (when I'm not on BC)
- cramping/sharp pains during PMS and my period
I'm also insulin resistant which just adds to the fun.0 -
my symptoms are
- hair on my chin, and upper neck (can only shave to remove it nothing else works and too many to pluck)
- anxiety
- heavy period with clots (period lasts about 7 days)
- I am pretty sure I always had anovulatory cycles before going on metformin
- fertility issues
- constant fight with my weight
- high blood pleasure0 -
-hair where it shouldn't be
-weight issues,
-VERY irregular periods
-infertility, although I was blessed with a surprise baby who is now 3!!!
and today I will take a test to see if I'm insulin resistant
One good side effect
-I've meet some pretty amazing women because of PCOS0 -
I forgot to mention that without metformin I have the extreem case of I'm either Hungry or Stuffed no satisfied. Of course that is due to the IR0
