^naman..i will..kahit gusto ko na din minsan sumuko pero hindi pwede dahil pangarap ko ito eh...salamat sis....

I have irregular period - Monthly but its sometime 34-38days, which is abnormal.
Nung nasa pinas ako, nag pa OB ako para sana ready na ako pag punta ko dito sa country naka assign si hubby, pinag take ako duphaston ever 10th day of the month, for 10days. tapos binigyan din ako ng sabi pampaitlog daw, for 1 cycle lang kasi di nabuo.

I went to see an OB last week and had my TVS, but its normal. there is a follicle that said to release egg.

sabi ni ob since we only got married last October and ttc since april, no need to rush daw.
but to be honest, we want to have a baby. im already 30 this yr and my husband is 35.

I was diagnosed bilateral PCOS last August 2015. I was taking Metformin since then. We are currently having work-up sessions with our OB the last 4 months. Lagi ko nakakalimutan itanong if PCOS pa ko pag nagpapa-FM ako. Pero so far, eto yung mga diagnosis ng TVS ko:

March 2016 - normal right ovary, polycystic right ovary
April 2016 - polycystic ovaries L and R
May 2016 - normal right and left ovary
June 2016 - no diagnosis, it just mentioned stimulated ovaries
July 2016 - no diagnosis, it just mentioned stimulated ovaries

Inaassume ko na gumaling na ko? Continuous pa din ako magtake ng metformin. Next cycle, itatanong ko na kay sonologist if hindi na polycystic yung ovaries ko.

I was diagnosed having PCOS when I was 16. Now I'm 32. Bilateral cysts parati ang nakikita sa ultrasound ko. I have been battling with acne for years. I am not overweight. Nagpalipat-lipat na ako ng OB. They all have the same methods. They prescribed me to take pills (diane/althea) for months, then have ultrasound after going off the pills. The pills somehow helped improve my skin and regulate ng period, but they shouldn't be taken for long term use. As a nursing student back then, natakot din ako sa nababasa ko about increased risk for blood clots and pulmonary embolism. Nung tinigil ko yun pills, naging irregular uli ako, and ultrasound still showed cysts.

One doctor prescribed me metformin, but I experienced severe side effects, kaya tinigil ko. Ang gastos lalo na student pa lang ako noon, so buong college, I just accepted my condition, didn't take meds. Every 3-4 months ang period ko, sabi ko noon ok na yun, tipid sa napkin, hehe.

When I finished college and was earning na, I did more research. I've read about alternative approach to PCOS. I tried progesterone cream. It somehow helped, from 90 day cycle naging around 50-60day cycle ko, pero in the long run, parang di na effective. I also tried acupuncture (in panay avenue). Naging 40-50 day cycle. I was happy with it, pero when I went here in the Middle East, wala na ako mahanap na acupuncturist dito. I need some solutions to pcos lalo na im not getting any younger; and i also plan to have a baby na. I told myself I wouldn't return to taking pills. They work on the symptoms of pcos but not on the root cause. Thanks to google...There are a lot of useful websites. I was thankful I stumbled on Tarryn Poulton's site (pcosdietsupport.com). pcosdiva.com is helpful, too, but I really like Tarryn. I subscribe to her newsletter. She has a more personal approach, and won't bombard you with a lot of info all at once. Baby steps, that's what she said. I learned a lot from her.. example.... https://s3.amazonaws.com/pcosdietsupport/PCOS-infographic-SOS+3.pdf and http://www.pcosdietsupport.com/emm-what-my-dr-didnt-tell-me/. I have changed my diet. I do not eat dairy, soya, and products with gluten. She recommends supplements like vitamin d, omega-3, folic acid and inositol. (but do your research first. consult your doctor before taking any medications).
Now, I'm only taking folic acid and omega3. I still need to consult my doctor about inositol. 

PCOS is a lifetime condition. I have accepted I will always be insulin-resistant. I will try to live with this condition through healthy diet, supplements and exercise.

Nadiscover ko na may mga cysts ako on both ovaries last year. Hindi kasi ako nagkamens for almost two months. Imposible naman na pregnant ako dahil hindi naman ako sexually active. Nagpa-TVS ako at doon nga nakita mga cysts. Uminom ako ng pills. Sabi ng ob ko mag-tvs daw ako ulit after 6 months para macheck kung may cysts pa rin o wala na. Sa feb 2016 dapat yun. Kaso the entire month of feb nasa province ako kaya di ako nakapag-tvs. Nagstop din ako mag pills after 6 months. Buti na lang naging regular na mens ko. Saka puro diet at exercise din ako noong early part ng 2016. Tingin ko isang factor ang weight ko kaya naging irregular mens ko. Nung nag lose na ako, ok na ulit si af.

I am just hoping na di na maging irreg ulit. Simula nung nagwork ako, wala na ako time mag exercise. Hindi ko na din mamonitor calorie intake ko. Ayoko naman forever magpills. Ayoko na din ma-tvs. Sobrang sakit.

[kwang sun]

I have pcos but now i have gall stones too. Help , i dont know what to do anymore :/

[mariaamara11]

Ma.Jewel_1987 yes sis. Kagaya ko, may pcos ako pero regular menstruation ko. still on ttc at this month pang 7th cycle ko n nang Clomiphene.

[yannuh]

^paano nyo nalamang me PCOS kayo kahit regular mens nyo?

[barbillie]

^Ako sis, hindi ko malalaman if hindi ako nagpacheck sa OB.

Pero sabi ni OB, symptom na yung nagkakadysmenorrhea ako, clots, at long periods (upto 35 days yung sakin). When I had my TVS, ayun, polycystic nga and slow growing follicles. Hindi pala ako nag-oovulate kaya fail ang 1 year natural TTC namin.

[HMisabelle]

^i didn't know too until nagpa-check up ako. nagkaka-dysmenorrhea rin ako at clots. a year after ng kasal namin saka kami nagpasya namagpa-check.

[dpmallo19]

ako rin po, regular period although long cycle. kala ko din i'm regular kasi lagi naman ako nagkakaperiod, yun lang paiba-iba ng cycle. irregular na pala yun. almost a year din kami normal TTC after marriage when i decided to go to an OB, tapos ayun ang resulta sa ultrasound ko. bilateral PCOS and hindi ako nagoovulate.

[yannuh]

hmm thanks mga sis. need na siguro magpacheck sa OB para sure. regular mens din ako, walang blood clots pero 1 yr TTC na din.

[fifi_girl]

PCOS din ako, didn't know until i went to the OB. I conceived naturally after almost 5 years, and my pregnancy was unplanned pa. Nung nalaman ng OB ko na nag-conceive ako naturally without having any PCOS treatments, she was really happy. Kase bihira daw sa PCOS un nag-c-conceive without medical treatments.

[khaytie]

hello mga sis share ko lang, nagpa tvs ako yesterday and the result was my polycystic ako sa left ovary then i consulted an OB and asked her kung wala ba siyang i prescribe saken na meds to treat the polycystic pero sabi niya wala daw, bakit ganun? parang nagmamadali pa yung OB. she just prescribed me for my cervicitis na suppository. I asked her din kung hindi ba ko mahihirapan to conceive kasi my pcos ako sabi niya ulit hindi naman daw. bakit ganun guys? nag research ako mahirap daw mabuntis pag may pcos, you think magpa second opinion ako? help me guys. thanks

[mikaelavhan]

^parang tamad na tamad magexplain yung ob mo sis.isang tanong isang sagot..hehe
regular ba period mo?
pcos ako..pero sabi ng ob ko ngoovulate naman ako..medyo mahihirapan tayo mabuntis ...ttc ka rin ba sis ?
kung doubt ka sa ob mo sis...try mo pasecond opinion sis..😊

[khaytie]

oo nga eh sa mga sagot niya parang normal lang na my polycystic ako at walang dapat gawin. ask ko rin kung kailangan ba baguhin ko yung diet and sabayan ng exercise, hindi naman daw. kaasar diba hehe
Every month naman ako nagkakaron pero iba iba yung cycle. paano ba malalaman pag nag ovulate ka? sis ano yung ttc?

-Ah ok trying to conceive  oo sis kaso now nsa abroad sya eh bale next year ulit kame mag try hehe

[iamalphine]

^sis @khaytie wala ka mapapala sa ob na ganyan...hanap ka ob na madali mo matatanungan at sasagutin ka ng maayos at maeexpalin din sayo ng maayos...PCOS din ako, una both tapos naging left na lang tapos naging right hehe..kulit lang diba...hahahaha...basta relax lang tayo sis wag tayo papressure mas lalo kasi matatagalan eh...in GODs time....=)

[khaytie]

oo nga eh hanap na lang talaga ko ng ibang OB.. nag research ako wala pa lang cure sa pcos? so forever na tayong my polycystic sa ovaries? before wala naman akong ganito 6 or 7 years ago na nagpa tvs ako clear pero ngayon meron na dahil narin siguro sa lifestyle ko online kasi work ko so madalas nakaupo lang ako then sa mga kinakain ko hayz.

[simang]
