PCOS (Thread 6)

[piatos]

November 1st take ko ng althea pinababalik ako ng OB sa april .  Umiinom ako ng althea natake ko na yung 21 pills for february dapat february 28 ako magkakaroon ulit.  Wala pang 7 days nagkaroon na.  Iba yung kulay black siya nung unang take ko ganito parang nilalabas niya yung dati hindi niya maailabas pero pag sakto ng 28 days nagiging red na yung mens ko.  Normal ba yun? Until now wala pa rin kakainis gusto ko na gumaling.  Myoma and pcos sakin.

I was diagnosed with PCOS last 2010, hindi naman ako mataba, at wala akong acne, pero super abnormal ang period ko, minsan umaabot nang 9 months wala akong mens, at pag nag karon ako umaabot ng 1month bago mawala at sobrang lakas, bata pa daw ako nung nag pa check up ako kaya di ako niresetahan ng doktor, sabi niya bumalik nalang daw ako pag ready na ko mag ka baby kasi medyo mahal daw ang gamot. Last February 14, 2013 nag pa-check up ako kasi palagay ko kailangan ko na mag gamot dahil nahihirapan ako sa mens ko, pero nakita sa ultrasound ko na buntis ako, 1month na siya. Sobrang natuwa ako kasi sabi nang doktor ko dati mahihirapan daw ako mag kaanak kasi hindi nangingitlog ang ovary ko, so doble ingat ako, pinabalik ako ng doctor ko after 2 weeks, pero napaaga ang balik ko sa OB ko kasi dinudugo ako, vaginal bleeding daw, andun pa ang baby pero hindi alam ng doktor ko kung bakit walang development ang baby ko, binigyan nya ko ng duphaston, at pinababalik ako next week, sabi nya sakin pag next week at dinudugo pa rin ako at wala pa rin development ang baby ko hindi daw magtutuloy ang pag bubuntis ko, pero 3 araw bago ako bumalik dun, sobrang sakit ng puson ko at ang lakas ng bleeding ko, Dinala na nila ko sa ospital, at nung inultrasound ako wala na daw ang baby ko kailangan akong raspahin, March 1, 2013 ako naraspa, sobrang sakit hindi lang ako nagastusan ng malaki nawalan pa ako ng anak.

Kaya ako nag post dito dahil gusto kong humingi ng advice, tumigil na ang pag dudugo ko dulot ng D&C pero March 25, 2013 dinudugo na naman ako, parang mens kasi red talaga siya, normal ba na mag ka mens kagad ako kahit wala pang 1month nung naraspa ako?

Sana masagot niyo kasi nag aalala talaga ko, thanks.

i was diagnosed with pcos last december. na surprise pa ko kasi super biglaan yung konsulta ko sa OB.  i was only accompanying my grannie that time, and nasingit lang ako when i mentioned na ang heavy ng mens ko at first time ko maka experience ng twice a month na mens.

and then yun nga, i got ultrasound, may nilagay na something sa vajayjay ko and my ob said na i have pcos sa left ovary. thats why ang dami daw ng acne ko along the jawline. ive got no problems when it comes to my weight (hindi pa naman ovrweight), but pansin ko ang hirap mag lose ng weight. and it seems like nadadagdagan nalang ng nadagdagan thru the years at hindi nababawasan. i was kinda worried tuloy na kung ganto sistema eh baka matuluyan nako ma-overweight. hay

anyway, my ob prescribed me pills, at first it was duphaston and then pinalitan niya to diane 35. naubos na pills ko and hindi p ko nakakabalik. wala padin akong mens buong month na march.

[lengda]

Hi I was also diagnosed with PCOS last May 2012. My OB prescribed me the diane 35 but after 4mos of taking it i had always a stomach aches, like ulcer. So I visited again and she advised to shift with Yasmin. Okay naman ang effect sa akin when it comes to my stomach though sa skin ko not at all, bumalik yun pimples ko. I was advised to take it for 6mos. and have to come back to another TVS para to check if no more PCOS but still meron pa daw. So have to continue until 3mos. so I continued until 4mos pa nga, but decided to stop lang last March. Me and my fiance decided to at least nag-babakasakali na makabuo. I stop taking the pill last March 17, had my period at the 22nd, we had contact last 28th (unprotected), and had it again last Apr. 6.

Now what I am thinking would it be possible na makabuo kami? I have PCOS and wala pang at least 1 month after ko mag-stop ng pills?

I just want to know.. if you have ideas.. I'm kind of excited and scared na rin if kasi meron baka not good kasi kaka-stop ko lang..

Thanks mga sis!

baby dust to you sis! God bless..

[lengda]

^kaya nga sis malapit na mag2weeks since first try namin ni partner may mild crampings na ako sa left side lang sya sis..
ang aga naman ng signs ko if eber ano? Hehe nag aassume lang talaga sis..
and minsan din nafifeel ko medyo mabigat na boobs ko parang papalit na mens. Expect ko pa naman by 20th to 27th this month  too early pa ba to have PT?

Excited lang talaga ako sis eh. :-))

Thanks so much!

[pinkswirls12]

nagcramps at masakit din boobs ko before ko nalaman na preggy ako. ganun kasi ako before magmens kaya for 2 weeks never ako nawalan ng napkin sa bag yun pala baby na. sobrang blessed kaming magina kasi iniwas ako ni Lord sa derma meds. naka1 night na akong apply. one of the creams was tretinoin na sobrang bawal sa pregnant. the next day, bigla akong napapreg test. ayun, positive! 1 week rin akong nagbedrest because of cramps. as far as i know, kahit 2 wks pa lang si baby sa uterus natin, madedetect na sa pt kit, much better kung serum. pero para reliable, at least a month..

Hello!

I was diagnosed with PCOS last 2005 when I was in college after irregular periods. So medyo matagal na din and i've solved some problems associated with it like acne and irregular periods. I've gone through all like different BCP,  appetite suppressant etc. The key really is to have a regular visit with your ob-endo who will tell you everything about it. I also do my own extensive research and read books about it.

To those who are prescribed to take metformin and stopped, please continue. Metformin is a wonder drug and has helped many people worldwide. It's mainly used to lower the secretion of glucose by our liver so it will help us maintain our blood sugar and cholesterol level down which then will help us with our metabolism and weight loss. There's no major major side effect in taking it for long so don't be afraid. Minor disturbances like diarrhea are common but your body will adjust and get used to it. The trick is to take your metformin right after your meal to avoid diarrhea. Oh metformin also helped me regulate my period!

I still take it now and on a low carb diet. After talking to my cardiologist and endo, they suggested a low carb (specifically starchy ones like rice, pasta, bread, potatoes and cereals) diet since PCOS and weight gain is related to insulin resistance and this is a carbohydrate metabolic syndrome meaning our insulin doesn't work well to turn the starchy carbs into glucose so it floods our bloodstream leading to weight gain, diabetes and other diseases.

So in summary, lifestyle modification talaga and medicine for PCOS maintenance. A 10% weight loss for heavier pcos patients will dramatically improve your condition. Pinaka naging problem ko talaga yung weight gain na kahit na diet and exercise is mahirap pa din at parang no effect. Buti na lang i found out that i really need to reduce starchy carbs or it will be nothing.

Take care to all! Regular visit with your doc and you can easily manage PCOS and live a normal life.

girls, I need your opinion. 7 days na akong delayed. One month na akong nag tetake ng metformin. Since april 4,ang sakit ng boobs ko pero until now wala pa din akong period. Dati pag malapit na period ko, sumasakit din boobs ko plus dami ko pimples pero now, wala namana kong pimples. Sobrang tumakaw ako ulit sa food plus parang laging mataas yung temperature ko at ang bigat ng katawan ko. sign na ba ito na pregnant ako? Parang ayaw ko mag preg test kasi baka negative na naman, 

[jhem31]

girls, ask ko lang, ano ba tinake nyo na gamot para mabilis mabuntis kahit may PCOS? effective ba ang duphaston? kelan ba dapat itake yun? pwede na kaya ako mag gamot kahit kakaraspa ko lang?

[pinkswirls12]

^ako sis walang tinake pero nabuntis naman. regarding duphaston hindi ko alam kung kailan yun iinumin kapag hindi pa preggy. ininom ko kasi yun mga 6weeks pregnant ako dahil nagcramps ako baka maabort ang baby. 2 weeks din akong nagduphaston. visit your OB sis. wala ka bang follow up after maraspa?

Parang lumalabas na lalo sa akin symptoms ng PCOS. Ever since nagkaroon ako, hindi na naging regular ang period ko. 12 or 13 ata ako noon. Siguro sa isang taon 2-3 times lang ako nagkakaron. I'm turning 23 na ngayon. May time last year na naging regular ang period ko. Siguro mga almost 6 months din ata 'yun. Around 30-35 days. Late 2011 to 2012, naglose ako talaga ng weight kaya siguro nagnormalize din my period. Pero early this year, nag gain na naman ako kaya sa tingin ko hindi na naman ako nagkakaron. Plus nagkaron ako ng mga nodular-cystic acne. 'Yung pimples na bumps lang na cystic. Akala ko dahil sa makeup na ginagamit ko. I've been trying to change my makeups pero andun pa din. Akala ko din dahil sa kutkot habits ko, pero wala pa din, may acne pa din. Nagpacheck na ako with my derma and sabi niya baka daw gusto ko magparefer sa OB kasi baka may underlying cause daw ang acne ko. Obese talaga ako before. Pagkagraduate ko ng college, nagstart na ako maglose ng weight and gained weight again early this year then losing again ngayon. Overweight na lang ako sa BMI ngayon. I'm not yet diagnosed with PCOS pero really, ang hirap magpapayat talaga! 'Yung tipong wala na mashado kinakain, pero bagal ng weight loss! Hay!

So I think nasa diet and exercise lang mostly 'yung management ng PCOS. Shempre I plan to have babies din naman. Planning to have myself checked by an OB sa 2014 kapag regular na ako sa work ko Hindi ko pa kasi maasikaso ngayon so diet and exercise muna.

[blackgreen]

Since HS irregular menstruation ko, every other month ako magkaroon. Tapos year 2008, 7 months ako di nagkaroon, akala ko stress lang, pinainom ako ng provera tapos pinapapayat ako ni dra. Sabi niya kung di ko pa naman daw gusto magka-anak, magpapayat na lang muna ako para ma-regular yun period ko. Tapos ngayun 2013, nagpacheck up na ako ulit kasi one month naman ako nagbbleed. And ang diagnose din ni dra eh may PCOS din ako. Yun right ovary ko daw PCO, pero yun left normal naman. Natatakot ako na baka di ako mabuntis. Di pa naman ako married pero nung pinagusapan namin ito ni boyfie after check-up siya din gusto niya magka-baby. 3 years before before ako dumating kela Mama, so sa mga nababasa ko mukhang genetic yun sa akin. I'll keep on praying na sana di maging hadlang yun pagkakaroon ko ng PCO sa pagbubuntis.

Ngayun pinapainom ako ni dra ng yaz tsaka metform, tapos magdiet daw ako.

Ask ko lang s amga nagtetake ng bcp if nag-age ba skin niyo while or after taking bcp? Ako kasi napapansin ko everytime na maubos ko na 1 pack of bcp nagsasag skin ko sa face. Una yung first time ko uminom ng yasmin, after ay parang nagsag skin under ng mata ko parang may eye bags tuloy ako then matagal na ako di uminom kasi nagnormal na mens ko then nagtake ulit ako a couple of months ago, tapos after ko maubos yung 1 pack, yung skin naman sa pisngi ko ang nagsag. Di naman sobrang sag pero nahchange talaga siya.

[gummy bear]

^^Sis Blackgreen, PCOS din ako before. And depress din ako before kasi akala ko hindi na ako magkakaanak ulit. 1 boy lang kasi anak ko, and hindi na ako nabuntis for 7yrs. Been taking metformin nun and pills as treatment. Kaso super stress sa work kaya hindi matanggal PCOS ko. Nung magresign ako sa work, stress-free na, stop ko na yung treatment. Ayun nabuntis ako after 7 months. Now I have a 1yr old baby girl na.  Para hindi bumalik PCOS ko, I go to the gym regularly. Normal na mens ko up to now.

I was diagnosed with PCOS today and I'm only a teen. I was given a contraceptive pill (Yasmin) for a month and then I'll have to go back to Makati Med to have it checked. Could you guys give ideas of what food to eat? I'm trying so hard to lose weight and can't seem to budge from 150 pounds.

Im also a teen, & was prescribed yasmin for my pills. You should do physical activities & watch what you are eating. There's really no food recommended to be able to lose weight, but all you have to do is watch it & make sure that it's a HEALTHY & Well balanced meal.

Hello sisters!

Share share!

Ever since I was 12y/o, my period is irregular. There are times that even for 2yrs I don't have my period. Sometimes sobrang lakas ng bleeding to the point I used a small baby diaper. I know that time it's not normal. So, after I graduated from college and got a job.. I went to an OB-Gyne clinic for consultation and that was year 2008 and the OB said that I have PCOS. She prescribed Micropil where I gain weight. When my bf and I broke up last 2009. I stopped taking it. Regular period after couple of months. Then after 1 year I don't have my menstrual period again.

Then 2010.. Me and my boyfriend that time practiced unprotected sex but hindi ako nabubuntis.

Then 2011, I decided to seek for a medication with a different OB na.. Dra. Marisol Gorospe diagnosed that I still have PCOS. She gave me Povera. After taking one cycle - I have my period but I asked her if I can switch back to Micropil because its expensive, gaining weight with skin dryness. Even if I apply a moisturizer or lotion, my skin is still dry. She said that's fine. So after taking Micropil for a year and a half - regular period, skin is not dry anymore and this time I didn't gain weight. Also every after 6months, nag-TVS ako and still I have PCOS.

She asked me if I wanted to have a baby na ba coz she'll give me a pill pra magbuntis. Kze may PCOS patients si Dra. Gorospe na umiinon ng pills na un pra mabuntis (forgot the what's the term). Sabi ko not yet. Even if I have PCOS, sexual desire didn't lessen.

Tapos last Feb 2013, I decided to stop taking Micropil na then that's my last period. Since March up to now - I still don't have my period. Tapos last Feb as well, ngpa-check ko for possible STD - negative. Ngpa-pap smear din  - no infection.

Since I stopped taking Micropil last Feb, I've been experiencing abnormal feminine discharge - white mens or yellowish. There were days it will come out with unnecessary smell. So, I'm planning to visit my OB tomorrow or Thursday.
