It has varied from EXTREMELY HEAVY to normal, then back to heavy. It's really odd. I have relatively high iron and have been drinking fluids, so I'm not terribly worried, just again, irritated by it. I had a cycle that lasted almost 2 months back in April (different doctor then)... Sigh. The pleasures of PCOS. ;)

I'm not feeling sick at all from it (making sure to stay very hydrated!), it's just getting to the point where I'm like "Okay, this is pretty annoying to deal with every day." Sunday starts my round of sugar pills on my first set of BC (Doctor advised me to start them the Sunday after bleeding starts). I had hoped each…

Some women are advised to eat less than 1200 cal/day, too, if they are shorter than average. Don't judge - certainly if you don't know the circumstance! We all have our own battles to fight.

This is a very good point on blood work. I did get a copy, didn't really assess how close I was on some of these factors. I will review again. :)

Hi hun, Based on what you said, it sounds to me as if you are taking to your regular physician? If so, this is likely part of the problem. A LOT of medical professional are undereducated about PCOS.

I've had issues with mine as well. One stopped charging, the 2nd the skin on it stretched out so that it completely covered the button. Instead of replacing it yet again at the end of its warranty, I gave up. I waited for a sale to upgrade to the UP24 and I will be much more diligent about replacing it if it fails this…

I always use the stopwatch function (tap, then press and hold to start/end) and go in later to log the actual activity.

Makes sense! As I don't do a lot of running yet I'll probably just log as normal. Thanks!

Hi Doll, This may or may not be helpful, but I would recommend trying to eat low carb for a week or two. Many women with PCOS are carb sensitive, and I know I am. I looked at your food diary and some days you eat a lot of carbs (200+), so if you tried to cut back/limit them I think it could really help.
