I miss Columbus! :sad: I miss Ohio! Just thought I'd share lol O-H! :happy:

Not all people with PCOS have high testosterone. In fact, there are no hard and fast rules for the syndrome which can be difficult when trying to diagnose and treat it. I don't have high testosterone, but over the past few years it has increased. I do however have black chin hair (started as one and now it's so many :sad:…

Thanks for all the advice. All of these things make sense, it's just getting my body to listen to my brain lol. I have no energy but I'm determined to make it this time! Alana, I love Core Rhythms! It is fun and the quick workout video is only 20 minutes. It's Latin dance but it's easy enough I even do it. I've tried the…

I don't know how thorough your doctor is but the first doctor to prescribe Met to me told me to start with 500mg once a day, add a second one a week later then a third until I finally reached 2000mg total per day. What she didn't tell me is that my body would hate me for it lol. I had diarrhea, nausea, dizziness and one…

Ladies we are all living identical lives! lol At least on the anger and lack of motivation... I was doing so well and now I am getting back into old habits. I find myself justifying this snack or that large meal or whatever I feel like shoving in my face at that particular moment. I was seeing inches falling off, pounds…

As the other posters said, KUDOS for caring my friend! Could you talk to my husband? lol Anyway, hormones are an issue with PCOS especially since your wife is on the hormone pills. By the way, sounds like she was on Progesterone (Provera) for 10 days which is what my doctors usually give me to kick start or stop my period.…

I don't take D-Chiro-Inositol, but my multi-vitamin has plain Inositol in it. I don't know if it's helping my PCOS symptoms, but it makes my hair and nails stronger and grow faster lol. It's one of those things that won't hurt you to try, as long as you don't take too much as with any vitamin...

I personally like Dream Matte Mousse. It covers well and isn't oily or cakey. I used it for my wedding :) I also recommend bleaching facial hair. I like Sally Hansen Cream Bleach. Or my personal favorite because it lasts longer, I wax my chin with Sally Hansen Facial Wax Strips :) I should be a spokes person lol. But they…

Welcome to the group! I hadn't posted anything because I didn't know if people would actually join lol. I'm glad to see fellow smokers out there trying to get healthy in other ways :) I have been smoking for 13 years and have adamantly said I won't quit until I get pregnant. My doctors want me to quit smoking, lose weight…

Hi all! My name is Stephanie and I'm from Ohio but live in Junction City, KS because my hubby is stationed here (Army). I have been fat my entire life and my heaviest has been 363. I'm down to 326 and I am determined to keep this going for once. I'm 28 and I've gotten used to the bulk but the older I get the more I'm…

LoyalAngel16, unfortunately I started with 1000mg (500mg morning, 500mg evening) and now I have to increase I would've loved to stay at that dose because i felt fine after a couple weeks but alas my last A1C wasn't where it needed to be :( mamosh81 I'm glad we don't all have horrible side effects at least lol :) And thank…

If you don't mind watching shows online, I definitely recommend this site for all shows but they have The Walking Dead :) http://www.tvmuse.eu/ Yes there are a lot of pop ups, but no commercials and you don't have to wait! If you don't like those, AMC usually does a marathon between the seasons so stay tuned for that.…

Thanks ladies! It's so aggravating having to plan my life around the bathroom. I think I may have IBS any way so when I upped my Met dose, it got crazy :( I suppose I'll give it a couple more months before I talk to my doc. I'm trying to avoid THAT convo lol. Thanks again and good luck to you as well :)

Ft Riley, KS and live in Grandview Plaza. Any ladies in the area, feel free to message me... I need friends lol.

I'm 28 so my clock is ticking! We have been TTC for 7 years now (minus 2 deployments and training things) and my stupidity prevented me from going to the doctor sooner and really working hard to lose the weight. I figured I'd just let things happen and now here I am, facing an endometrial biopsy next week to see if I have…

I'm getting a pelvic ultrasound on the 16th then my doc wants to do a biopsy. She drew labs last week and I'll get the results when I go back for the hormones. My flow varies from day to day. Light some days, only really needing a liner to super heavy like a normal period for a few days (like the past 3 days which has…
