Well I went for my MRI of my abdomen and pelvis everything is fine BUT, i have a really bad case of fatty liver, she said excessive amts of fat on there and its inflamed. She also told me it could lead to liver failure YEEKS!! Im so scared now!
I have had this for 7yrs i guess when i started puttin on the weight. But i do know from research it goes together with pcos & insulin resistance.
I am scared though and she told me theres no meds nothing they can do for it but weight loss!! Which I am currently working on!
She did however give me my medical clearence to have a baby, which me new RE requested, but conditions are I lose weight and quit smoking which is a given!!!
So any pf u ladies experience this?What have u done for it?DId it get better for u?
Thanks!

in Jan when i had my gallbladder removed it was discovered that i have a fatty liver. its not as serious as yours sounds but it was caught early enough. I was told the same thing as you. That diet and exercise are the only fix for it. I was told that my condition is improving slowly. I just recently joined a gym to step things up with my weight lose. to be in the correct bmi for my height i'd have to lose over 100 pounds but i don't want to be that thin really so i am aiming for 75 or so to start off and see how i feel after that. i too need to quit smoking. I don't know about you but the patch gives me a horrible racing heart. what have you tried to quit if anything so far? how much do you smoke a day? my cravings are somehow way down naturally but i get very mean and i get awful headaches when i don't smoke. my fiancee recently told me that he doesn't ever want me to quit because of how nasty i get. it was pretty hurtful to hear. anyways, good luck to you with both!

Yes fatty liver is commen in woman with PCOS and Met can make it worse so usually they check your liver function before starting met. At least that is what my doctor did.

My gyno sent me to have my liver checked out before she put me on Met for the PCOS, and my PCP and GE followed up with doing the bloodwork/pelvic ultrasound/MRI. Both said that I did have fatty liver ("NASH") and that the Met would actually help it (along with diet and exercise), so they gave my gyno 2 thumbs up to go ahead and prescribe it.

Yes even though met can be bad for some peoples liver they are proving that met can help with the fatty liver. They are trying to prove or have proven that low carb/sugar diet is the best thing for fatty liver and it all connects with the insulin resistance etc. that is why met is suppost to help. So it isnt just diet/exercise it is low carb/sugar diet. BTW my DH has this. That is why I know anything about it. I have done the research etc.
Thanks to all of u who replied! i really appreciate it and ur infput has been so helpful!
I just really hope this doesnt harm me and I can catch it now, I mean im only gonna be 27 next month!!! My cholesterol is also 299!!
BNut my dr told me today that the pcos/IR has wreaked havoc on my body and is causing my list of ailments. So its time to nip it in the bud!! Im sicl of being sick!! Do u know if this will cause problems with pregnancy?
Thanks autumnleaves! I am gonna speak to this new endocrine dr when I see him on Nov 19th, see what we can do cause Im having problems with this met! It makes me hypoglycemic!! I do plan to diet and excercise and get my IR under control!!!

I have had a fatty liver ever since I was diagnosed with PCOS.When I was diagnosed I was not over weight like I am now.They have told me that the only way to get rid of the fatty liver is weight loss and to watch foods that are high in fat. I wasn't told it could lead to liver failure but b/c I already had a fatty liver when I did some of my fertility treatment they monitored my liver often b/c some of the meds I was could cause liver problems. GL!!!
Crissy-Have you tried the met er? That might help with side effects. They say that met doesnt lower your blood sugar. However I know that in me it did because that is why I passed my 1 hr gtt when I was in deed GD.
Thank You Ella831!!!! Well I hope it doesnt pose any problems. I was so scared to eat tonight! I was starved but was scared to eat my dinner even though it was turkey lunch meat lol!!!
I am going to have to tell RE, Endo, and ZFetal maternal 7 reg. Gyno about the fatty liver, see what they all say.
Autumnleaves~ yes I take Met Er, Im fine with all the digestive s/e but its making me feel funny even at 500 mgs!!! And I find it doesnt help me lose weight like the reg met?? Weird right? When I see this new Endocrine Nov. 19th, we are going to discuss a new med or maybe adjusting to met er some how!
Ladies I hope I am gonna be ok and I hope this doesnt cause me to not get preggers or not even ttc!!!
Im excited my primary wrote the letter of consent to stsrt the process though!!!!! I want to frame it lol!!!

Yes, I also have a fatty liver. My RE told me (if i remember correctly) that i need to take care of my IR, which in turn would help with weight loss, and weight loss should take care of the fatty liver. It's a cycle, so i need to just make sure i'm taking care of myself. Of course it's been a lot more difficult than i thought
