I have PCOS. I had no period for two years, terrible skin and could not shed 1 pound. So i paid privately to get checked out. I was put on Dianette and it was the best thing ever. Ive never had skin issues or late periods anymore. I had got pregnant naturally also.Couldn’t see a thread for those of us blessed with PCOS but please do redirect me if there is something!
I’ve recently been told I’ve got PCOS by a gynaecologist after a few years of knowing deep down I probably did. Have had trouble with periods, skin issues and facial hair
I’ve been put on a 3 month course of HRT using progesterone... I wondered if anyone has had any similar experiences and how they found it?
Ah good luck I hope it goes well! My gynaecologist was amazing and put me at ease a lot! She did an ultrasound and asked for bloods and the diagnosis seemed simple enough. She mentioned there’s lots that can be done to help so fingers crossed for youI'm going to see a gyneacologist next week as my GP suspects I also have PCOS.
My partner and I have been trying to get pregnant for some time now, but my cycle just kinda stopped. Last "real" period was beginning of April (had some very minor bleeding in the meantime, although I wouldn't even call it real bleeding. Fortunately it's not early onset menopause.
It's been very frustrating though. Already did 3 pregnancy tests as I thought I was pregnant (because my period wouldn't start) only to see a minus appear and be crushed all over again
Hoping the appointment next week will give more answers.
On the bright side, my period was always very very painful before, so now that I don't really get them, I'm pain free
Edit: the pimples thoughso annoying! I always thought I had good skin, turns out, that was just the pill
I find no matter what type/make of pill I put on weight more with my Pcos. Therefore I avoid but I’m currently overweight regardlessI have PCOS.

This is really frustrating! I had the same situation with one of my doctors - she just wouldn't take it seriously at all and said that everything was manageable with more exercise and cutting down on sugar. It made me feel really upset particularly as my mum had fertility issues and I always worried something could be more seriously wrong.I have what people generally refer to as lean pcos, diagnosed by blood test and an internal ultrasound.
It is very frustrating as it took SO long for me to get a diagnosis, they didn't even want to do the tests for years & my doctor has two daughters with classic pcos symptoms and she clearly thinks mine isn't as bad or doesn't need to be taken seriously and offered no way to treat/manage it.
It is really disheartening particularly as it is having a huge impact on ttc for me. I'm looking to switch doctors actually so hopefully that helps, it was mention by another nurse in the practice that fertility appointments are somewhat fast tracked and I could get referred at 6 months rather than a full year of trying so I might start thinking about taking that up soon.
