Any woman with PCOS knows how difficult it can be to conceive and or lose weight and keep it off. This is a thread I started a while back and am just trying to continue the thread:) It's here for support and of course the ability to VENT! So vent away my darlings. We are all cysters together in this battle!

Dear PCOS,
I despise the fact that you have "blessed" me with this pregnant looking belly that...because of YOU, cannot actually BE a REAL pregnant belly! ugh.............IRONIC isn't it. You will not win. I am fighting you everyday.0 -
Agreed!!!! Oh how I would love a real pregnant belly and fertility drugs just don't work! :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :huh: :sad:0

I'm not trying to conceive, but I've been really frustrated with losing weight because of my PCOS. I went off the pill a year ago, and in the past year, I've been gaining and losing the same 10 lbs. over and over again. I can't seem to get below my lowest (which is 15 lbs. from my goal weight, the top of the "normal" BMI range for my height). I've been able to keep the weight off, for the most part, other than those 10 lbs., which is good I guess, but i still have a ways to go and would really like to see some progress again. It is really frustrating and depressing when things bounce around so much and there are no real losses. :grumble:0

I hated all the extra hair growth, the fact it took me so long to get pregnant with baby 2 and acne. It's all finally calmed down, but it was hell for many years!0

I have PCOS, but I have a baby (that I conceived after losing weight in 2010 with the help of myfitnesspal) I know this is a vent place, but I do want to also encourage you. It is possible to lose enough to conceive!
Getting the baby weight off though....that's an even harder battle!
Dear PCOS, I hate how you mock us with these foul features. Why do you make it too easy to gain weight, but to lose it may mean losing our sanity and confidence in ourselves? I just pray that my daughter never has to understand the torment you put women through. Stay away from her you evil...you know.0 -
PCOS GET'S ON MY NERVES! I will beat it though. I am tired of the irregular periods, weight gain, acne and the list goes on! I am tired of my body acting like it is pregnant when it's not. I am not worried though. I will just continue to work harder and I WILL beat this nasty thing. Good luck ladies!0

I have PCOS and I took fertility pills to achieve both of my pregnancies. Thankfully the lowest dose worked for me. I'm done having kids now and I'm glad I can't conceive without the fertility drugs lol0

I have PCOS too and at the ripe old age of 44 (ha), I've had enough. The weight that I've put on around my middle is just ridiculous. I joined MFP at the start of January and have managed to lose 10 lbs, but that seems to have slowed down to a crawl. I read yesterday that now I have to cut WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back on my carbs because of the whole insulin resistance crap. AAACCK! :grumble:
Combining that with Fibromyalgia, frankly, I think someone should just take me out and have me shot.
It's like fighting a never ending battle - I WANT to get rid of the weight (I have 100 lbs to lose) - and I'm really gung ho, but after reading all of the depressing literature on how PCOS affects that process...well, it just makes me want to give up and eat my body weight in KFC. :sad:
But - I will persevere to the very best of my abilities...and to the rest of you - keep your chin up and your ovaries down.0 -
Dear PCOS,
I loathe you. I hate that you're making conception for baby #2 so damn difficult. I hate the hair and acne you leave all over my face, and the fact that you make it so hard for me to lose weight. You are such a nuisance in my life, but you will NEVER win. I will fight you for as long as I have to. I will make it impossible for you to rule my life.
Worst wishes and good riddance,
Another Cyster

I pluck and all under my chin is one big dark area from it. I am always trying to hide it and never tilt my head up very far because of it. It's one of the most embarrassing things I've ever had to deal with.0 -

I started using cover up and a epilator for 2 months daily and I'm showing good progress it stings and you do get minor side effects like pimples that are gone the next day but I'm loving it so far. worth the pain to look normal.0 -
Epilators are awesome!!!I hate having a beard the most.

Ask your RE or OB about Femara it got me preggo and less side effects. I miscarried but it wasn't because of the Femara.0 -

I need to invest in one. The hair just grows so fast!
I know a lot of women who decided to not take Clomid every monh as well. Are you also taking Metformin? A few were able to still get preggo on a Clomid free month because they were on Metformin still. I didn't need fertility drugs so I am not all too knowledgable on them...0 -
i think I might re up my script after the weightloss my type 2s sugars fairly low so I stopped.0
-
I hate the very resistant to leave muffin top. The acne...but it does go away once I get into the 160's. But its always an uphill battle to get there even with metformin er:(0
-
The hardest thing is that I can eat GREAT and exercise and still lose hardly anything.
The hair on my face is the worst part about it.
Wait, no, I take that back. Not being able to get pregnant because of it is the worst part about it. I always thought I had it, but until my doctor told me I did was when it really hit me. That's why I joined MFP! 0 -
PCOS, I hate that I'm going to be fighting with you again this year to have a second baby. If you don't help, then in December I'm going to try Clomid for the first time. Alexander deserves a sibling you evil thing.0

GAH! I
this thread! Being a “Newbie” with PCOS I want to SCREAM! It so frustrating going to the gym with my friends doing the same thing, and basically eating the same thing just to see I have only lost 3lbs vs their 10 :-x 0 -
I hate you PCOS! I hate what you have done to my body. I hate the fact that you stop me from being able to have a child!
I hate the fact that because of you, I work out and watch everything I eat, and still there is no weight loss. I hate the extra hair that you just think I need, I hate what you do to my hormones. I just can't stand you. :mad: 0 -
HI,
I have a few questions if any one can answer them. About two weeks ago i got admitted to hospital for suspected appendicitus but they could not find anything on the ultra sound. They did however find my left ovary had cysts. I am still waiting to hear back from my doctor about what to do next.
What are your experiences of it?
Any tips or advice?
All i can think is will i get pregnant because if i can't I will be devastated.
I agree weight loss is a pain but i am 35pounds down. 46 to go :S
If you dony want to discuss on here I would really appreciate a messge.
Thanks

Dear PCOS,
I despise the fact that you have "blessed" me with this pregnant looking belly that...because of YOU, cannot actually BE a REAL pregnant belly! ugh.............IRONIC isn't it. You will not win. I am fighting you everyday.
I hear ya 100% We are still trying after 10 years! I have found a new supplement studied specifically for PCOS and I actually got a normal period after 1 month. I finally feel like I have some hope now. Such a lonely and discouraging place to be

PCOS:
You have brought me nothing but heart ache. You made me push away my husband because I didn't understand what was going on with my body the doctor tell me that I won''t concieve with out added help. The mood swings and the sadness that cripples me and of course those lovely skin tags and extra hair. The horrible periods that seem never ending and the pain! Oh and the tiredness..
I don't know how to beat you but I do know how to put up a good fight.0 -
Dear PCOS,
I loathe you & the things you put my body through. You assist in my poor self image and depression I wish there was a simple way to get rid of you. I pray that my daughter will never know you & the negative things you do to me & all of the other women you have attached yourself to!0 -
