i suspected pcos way before i got diagnosed…but i was way too shy to talk to doc abt it…khair…i finally spoke to my doc about irregular periods…stuck weight and facial hair which caused me so much embarasment

she send me for a blood test and den another blood test and a scan…den it got diagnosed and now i have that contraceptive pill and facial hair are so much better…and my weight is also dropping and i am trying to be determined with it…down to 63/64 from 70 kg…been on pill for 6 months now and doc told me that u should atleast eat it for 8 months to 2 years…i started my official dieting shieting on 22 oct…my weight just keep getting stuck for couply of weeks then drop about a kilo-ish…

also my facial hair have gone so much better and finer and now i wax may be after 2-3 weeks…but pehle it used to be litterally 2-3 days…so i am damn happy…

i am eager to hear more stories…

I had none of the typical symptoms, had my periods regularly, no facial hair, not overweight, just started to lose my hair too much, anyways went to the DR when i was not falling pregnant, after some tests she diagnosed PCOS, gave me metphormin. which has proved that it works for ovulation on me, however has done nothing to correct my hair fall or me getting pregnant

…this is interesting. You had none of the typical symptoms!

I always had a hint that I had PCOS but then again my gynaecologist never said it was definitely that. I have been gaining weight, havent had much of a regular period in the past year. I went to a specialist for pregnancy workup and turns out I do have it. She now needs to check my insulin levels and then prescribed me metphormin incase I do have high insulin resistance, which in turn should help with the weight loss and the regular cycles.. I think they put u on for abt 2 mnths before you start seeing any major differences though.
