PCOS (Thread 6)

[rtmanaloto]

I was diagnosed with PCoS nung 2001 pa. I was 19 then

My gyne prescribed me with provera for 10 days (after confirming that i was not a preggo) and althea that time kase wala akong mens for 4 months and i always had dysmenorrhea everytime na nagkakamens ako... Sa ultrasound, nakita na puro cysts both ovaries ko... I took the drug for almost a year and stopped using it kase bigla akong naghypertension.

Then hindi nako bumalik sa obgyn na yun kase lumipat ako ng tirahan...

Nang hindi nako nakakapagpills, lalong naging irregular ang mens ko, sometimes umaabot ng 90 days ang cycle ko...

starting 2011, nagdiet ako with exercise... I was weighing 182lbs that time... And in just 6 months i lost 45 lbs... Napansin ko umiksi nang umiksi cycle ko hangang sa naging 35 days na lang... And then last year April, we found out that i was pregnant.... Ultrasound showed na nabawasan cysts ko sa ovaries... I thought i will not get pregnant bec of PCOS... And im thankful, i have my 6-month old son right now... i need to lose weight lang pala

I was also diagnosed with PCOS last month. My OB prescribed me Duphaston for 5 days until I had menstruation then Liza pills. Also, she asked me to take Metformin 3 times a day. Need to lose weight too and stay away from carbs and sugar as much as possible.

I was diagnosed with PCOs last May... Matagal na irregular ang period ko but I was afraid na magpa-consult sa OB-Gyne... I have symptoms like pimples and facial hair...

So, I went to an OB-Gyne and had an ultrasound... Found out na meron ako PCOs both ovaries... Hindi pa ko binigyan ng pills kasi ang dami pang tests na gusto nya gawin (nakakainis sya kasi may pagkamasungit!...) Unfortunately hindi na ko nakabalik sa kanya kasi next day na flight ko to SG for work. Pinainom lang nya ako ng provera for 5 days... Then after a week I had my menstruation na.

This month, delay na ako ng 7 days... Gusto ko magpaconsult again kaya lang naghahanap pa ko ng OB-Gyne dito... Anyone here in SG na meron mare-recommend na female OB-Gyne?

Thanks!

I have polycystic ovaries too.. My last menstruation was on the last week of March 2013.... Di na ako nagmens until this week. Kung hindi pa ako nag-gym, di pa ako magmemens. Therefore, icocommit ko na ang sarili ko sa regular diet and exercise...

PCOS din ako even if I have a daughter na. sabi ng doc namin dito sa opis once PCOS, always a PCOS na daw.

baligtad naman prob ko sa inyo. ako naman nagsspotting due to hormonal imbalance din. Need to lose weight. Gusto ko pa-second opinion sa dati kong OB kaya lang nahihiya ako dahil di ako sa kanya nanganak.

I think that's not true. A lot of our sisses here from femalenetwork can attest that they got "cured" for PCOS. I too, was diagnosed. but now, Im PCOS free

I was diagnosed also before. since mino-monitor ng OB ko yung case ko thorugh regular TVS, minsan hinde ako PCOS. explanation niya, ganun daw talaga yun. regular period din naman ako. last February, nagpa inject ako. then mula March nagkakaroon na ako ng spotting. and until now wala pa ako mens. nagpaconsult ako, and nagpa TVS, no more PCOS pero I have cyst naman sa left ovary. sa september pa schedule ko sa OB for check up talaga. I've tried searching sa internet, I'm not sure kung PCOS ba yung nakita sa akin or ibang cyst naman. hayy.. 

sorry mga sis, kung medyo OT ako.

Hi Sis. Im sorry to hear your problem. But what I can suggest is that probably seek for a second opinion or change doctors muna. That cyst can be an ovarian cyst which will probably equate to ovarian cancer. Or have it monitored first, if sa bawat TVS mo, lumalaki sya in size, kailangan na talaga magpacheck up. Have it check na sis Hoping that it's nothing serious.

I had PCOS din kaya nag decide na din ako mag ka baby before ako mag 30 natatandaan ko noon 1 per year lang ako mag ka mens kaya nag pi pills din ako dati wala naman ako masyado naramdaman epekto ng PCOS sa akin hindi ako pini pimple medyo masakit lang sa puson pag meron ako menstration. Up to now ngayon buntis ako may PCOS pa din kasi noong nag pa ultz ako nakita ng ob na madami pa rin ako cyst sabi niya Im lucky kasi hindi ako nahirapan mag buntis. Ako dinn suprise kasi yung 1st baby namin it took us 2 yrs para mag buntis yung 2nd baby ko wala pa ata 3 months buntis na wala pa masyado effort yun.

hi sis, alam mo yan din kinakatakot ng h2b ko. may possibility na ovarian cancer or kaya naman tanggalin ang ovary ko at mahihirapan ako magbuntis. we're getting married next year and 31 na ako nun. kaya sobrang nakakadepressed nung nalaman ko [textspeak!] result.

Sis, I know it's really scary. But while it's still early, you need to know already what you have. Para kung masulusyonan, masulusyonan kagad. Kasi habang pinapatagal natin, baka lalong mas lumala at mas mahuli na lahat.

thanks, sis. andito kasi ako Saudi ngayon. medyo mahirap maghanap ng magaling na OB.

Finally makakapag post na ko dito. I have been following this thread for almost a month now.

I was also diagnosed to have PCOS, when I first saw the result iyak ako ng iyak, akala ko kasi cyst Nalaman kong something is wrong kasi normal ang period ko, na delay ako ng july, naka ilang pt ako lahat negative kaya kusa na ko nagpa ultrasound.

Nag consult ako sa ob, reseta niya: myra e, metformin, folic acid and diane pills. Obese ako girls, kaya nag kusa na din ako mag enroll sa gym.

Nag pa hilot din ako kasi sabi ng friend ko baka mababa daw matres ko, yun nga daw mababa. After itass ng hilot bnigyan ako ng herbal na ugat ng makahiya.

Right now I am still hoping na after ng diane ko (12 days from today) sana magka period na ko.. haist,

Please give your opinion kung tama pa ba ginagawa ko, sa mga nabutis even may PCOS please tell me what to do. Gusto ko na din kasi mag baby

Sis, i'm a nurse kasi. Okay naman ang ginagawa mo but I dont personally like the hilot part, wala pa naman akong narinig na case na pumutok yung cyst but baka sa pagpahilot mo pumutok pa or baka magalaw pa yung position ng matres mo magkaroon ka pa uterine prolapse (fall of uterus). Yun lang naman, bat overall okay naman yan. & dapat bawasan rin yung sweets kasi our doctor used to tell na ang common cause ng pcos is too much sugar that's why its common na may diabetes ang meron nito or mataas yung blood sugar. Hope this helps!

@ella_22 Sis don't worry too much. I'm PCOS before pero nagka-baby pa naman ako. 'Yung meds ko na na-take are Provera (para magkaroon ako), Metformin, pills. Cause ng PCOS for me is stress sa work and mataba ako. Around 2 years din ako na naka-metformin and pills. And monitor sya thru transV ultrasound every 6 months. When I stopped working, nag-stop din ako ng medications. Since stress-free na ako at nagpapayat ng konti, after around 8 months nabuntis ako.

[uglygirl]

Me too i have pcos. Super sad at iyak din ako ng iyak nung nalaman ko kasi super gusto ko maging mommy in the future, anyway my hospital phobia ako kaya nagstop na ko magfollow up. Pero alam niyo nabbother parin ako at natatakot na baka hindi ako magkaanak kaso takot naman ako sa ospital. Ayoko talaga pumupunta dun

[babylover]

Same here, diagnosed PCOS din. I stopped visiting the doctor muna for awhile kasi feeling ko mas lalo ako na-stress at nakakapagod din.  Been trying to conceive for more than 6years pero wala parin.  For now, I only depend on prayers muna.  And we're planning to be worked out again sa doctor next year, hopefully. 

[janet28]

I have pcos too, both ovaries and 2 years ttc. Pag naiistress ako tinitigil ko muna magpa ob. Pag ok na naman balik na naman kay ob :-) hays sana makabuo na.

i have been looking for this thread..

to start with i've been taking Diane 35 regularly since I was 18 for safe sex but sometimes I do stop for few months para pahinga. I do have regular periods, sometimes few acne and then just last year Dec 2012 my mom's skin doctor advised me to have transrectal ultrasound coz I've been having consistent acne's considering I am already 23 then, to see if its hormonal imbalance. So ok I agreed I had the exam and then he called up his OB Gyne friend to read it and said I have PCOS, manipis daw something yung lining ko? hindi ko excatly matandaan pero parang hindi sya mature?

I was leaving for UK that time so everything was in a rush prescribing me with Diane 35. Sabe ng doctor in time magi-irregular daw mens ko and mahihirapan magdiet inwhich I find somehow true kasi matagal ang result saken ng diet and everything pero d naman ako overweight at 120lbs 5'3 24y/o right?

i took diane35 for 4 months and then switched to Yasmin 4 months pero same effect walang nangyayare sa acne ko andun padin and worst malalake sya na nagiiwan pa ng marks. nakakadepress sya kase dati wala naman ako nun... iniisip ko tuloy na immune ata katawan ko sa diane/pills..

ang hirap mag-lose weight pag may PCOS, i don't know what to do... i'm very sad...

I don't think PCOS has anything to do with your difficulty on losing weight. It only alters glucose uptake by the body and not the metabolism. We should really have discipline and perseverance in losing weight. I was 75kgs before and now I'm at 55. I really changed my lifestyle starting exercising daily and eating correctly. Consistency is key
