P C O S

If you have PCOS , please join this group so we can support each other & discuss our struggles & triumphs with our diagnosis. We can give each other recipes, fitness tips & most importantly motivate each other on a daily basis. I think having a group of gals who can relate to one and another would be beneficial to us all. We can talk about all the things that come along with PCOS & just have a place to vent because as we all know, it's not easy having PCOS & our hormones deserve to be heard.

Thanks Ladies!

Gluten Free & Dairy Free
Tomorrow will be 1 week since I have gone totally gluten free & dairy free. It's been a hell of a week! I want normal food! LOL! I bought all kinds of gluten free items & I have to say EVERYTHING SUCKED! I don't like the texture or the taste. I also tried vegan cheese to try & replace regular & it was awful. The only…
Orlando PCOS Awareness Weekend
September is PCOS Awareness Month! So break out the teal & show your support to raise awareness. As we know from our own personal experiences, there are so many other women who are unaware of this diagnosis. Let's get the information out there & show our unity. Orlando is hosting the PCOS Awareness Weekend. September…
Cysters
If anyone is interested in posting discussions in our group just feel free to let me know. I want us to be able to share our feelings & talk about whatever comes to our minds. I think it's important to have a place where we can communicate with each other since we are all cysters.

PCOS Diet
Well Sunday I began my PCOS diet. Gluten free, dairy free & sticking with eating fruits, veggies & meats. I definately have to say it has already been a little hard but I'm proud of myself for not giving in to the temptations. And let me tell you the temptations were definately hitting me in the face when we had a BBQ for…
Perimenopause
I was told that I have perimenopause. I am 32 years old. Yes, 32. I thought this started for most women in their 40's. Hearing the words "You can no longer carry a baby" just hit me hard. Even though, I do have 2 children & had a tubal ligation due to my high risk pregnancies; it was still hard to hear. The news is still…
Symptoms
Other than weight being my main culprit of PCOS, what other things tend to bother you? For me, it's my skin. I say all the time that I wish I could get a skin transplant. I hate having such sensitive skin & then to top it off my hormone issues don't make it easier thanks to the lovely & dearest PCOS. I also have issues…
Periods
Well, I finally started my period today after not having one since March! I am so happy! Yes, I said happy. I know that's not the emotion most women feel about getting their periods. But for me I am because my doctor said if I still didn't start by my next appointment that we need to discuss using hormones to jumpstart it.…
Metformin
Does anyone take Metformin for their PCOS? I started taking Metformin in 2015-2017. I stopped taking my meds for a year and now I'm back on it. I'm still trying to get use to taking it everyday. I can already see my skin getting clearer but I'm still waiting to get my period. I don't like relying on meds but if it helps my…
Testosterone
I had a doctor's appointment last week. My doctor went over my blood work and said that my testosterone is high and that my B12 is low. So, now I am taking a B12 supplement. My doctor wants to repeat my labs in a few months to check my testosterone levels again because even though I have PCOS she wants to make sure that I…
