Do they think your migraines are related to you hormone issues I have migraines too. They are a killer. Is Topamax a drug you have to take everyday?

Hey ladies, I am 5'5" and weigh in at 118 pounds. I also have endometriosis that causes severe pain which prevents me from eating sometimes. I will say that I am probably a little more weird about my weight than I should be. Because there is the possibility of me gaining I am very careful on what I eat yet still have fun with eating. I like to eat organic as much as I can. I also eat local when the season is right. I also hike just about every day with my 2 year old and 2 dogs. I also make a point to cook at home so I know what is going into the food I eat.
I told my doctor about this site and I asked if she thought I would not have many good responses if I were ever asked about my weight. She said it was most likely a better idea to keep it to myself.
I hope that everyone knows that we are who we are. But most important we all have the same syndrome and it is such a pleasure to have you all here so I can get support as well as offer support. We all need each other to know we are not alone.

Mrs.Forsberg- Welcome. You have found the right place. My Dr. also said that I may not want to post a picture on a PCO site as I may get a few people to blow me off. Thank goodness we found this place.

Three doctors totally blew me off when I went to them explaining that I thought I had PCOS. They said I was too thin and hairless. Finally, the fourth did an ultrasound and what do you know... major PCOS. So frustrating!!! Now I can't get her to give me met b/c I am "too thin". Whatever.

I am 5' and weigh 105lbs. 118 lbs was my heaviest, and once starting Met and thyroid meds I just dropped the weight. I would probably go to 100lbs if I started working out, but will be adding more muscle mass because I like being around 105. I didn't look heavy at 118, and even know I still have fat, I am not athletic or super trim or anything. Weird.

I think no matter how much we weigh, a woman would say, "i'd like to lose 5 lbs" hehe, but I'm considered "not overweight" and i'm 5'7 1/2 and my weight is 139

areeba

I think everyone posts in this thread without reading the other responses Including myself..I am 5'3 and 98-100 lbs

Wombatonthego

5'10" 125lbs, another "too thin for pcos"...yet here I am!

percysgirl

I'm formerly very heavy. Right now I'm 5'6.5" and 120ish pounds. I haven't weighed myself in a while.

mollysmom

i was about 113 and almost 5'6 when i was diax w/pcos. i am now 124/125 after baby #2 and my cycles are regular finally! not sure if it's due to my having had 2 kids or having gained a little weight. i'm actually now trying to lose 4-5 pounds. :-) 120 is my ideal weight, i'm a little flabby in areas now. 1st time ever!

Nuh uhhhh!

I'm 5'10" slightly below 145 at the moment (yet, my weight can fluctuate by some serious poundage...).

alolmommy

5'2 and 129. Not considered overweight for my height but not skinny!

melsreturn

I'm 5'4 and 120 lbs, 121 on some days. Is that considered thin cyster? I probably belong on the wls diva board. I used to be 251 lbs but had gastric bypass 20 mos ago.
