After the Met (2 years I think now), I haved gained weight around my middle, which I find interesting. Not complaining though, at least I get my period now!  | Strange I have noticed the weight around the middle with Metformin too. I hate that! Before I had a big butt per say, and I actually liked it...now the booty is gone and my stomach looks pudgy when I eat. Oh, btw I am 5'6 and weigh 133. Before I started the metformin I weighed around 140...but even at 133 I am pretty small- tried some size 6's yesterday that were falling off me....
The doctor didn't first suspect I had PCOS either because of my weight...But my ovaries are covered in cysts and my periods are really abnormal. I think I am probably IR too, though the correct tests weren't done to prove that..I do know since Metormin I don't craze sweets at all like I use too. Before, I would drink 2-4 liters of Coke a day! And candy...always...but now, I dont drink any coke (the not drinking any isn't exactly by choice) and really don't get bad chocolate cravings like before...  |

I was an "underweight cyster." I am 5' 6" and had weighed 95 pounds for the last few years, until recently when my thyroid became underactive. I have gained 20 pounds in the last 5 mos, but I am still thin, just a little flabby here and there. I'm starting to wonder if I may have Cushing's too. I just started a new diet and exercise program to help get back in shape. Not wanting to lose WEIGHT, but wanting to melt away fat and gain muscle.

You are considered a thin cycsta if you have under normal or normal BMI, body mass index. There are calculators online to calculate our BMI, | |

I've just had to do the conversions from metres & kilos!
When I got married and that was 2 weeks before I went off birth control I was 121 pounds (and I'm 5"4).
I just weighed myself yesterday at the hospital and I'm now 140!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH HHH.
Well I can't say I wasn't warned. My RE said if I don't watch it & eat to manage my PCOS this will happen. | |

I'm about 5'2" & 140 lbs. I had always weighed around 120 but suddenly gained 20 lbs 2 years ago & can't lose it. I'm hoping some meds help when I get my diagnosis.

I'm 5'5 and weigh 127. After I stopped BCP April '05 I gained 10 lbs in a few months and could not get it off no matter how hard I exercised/dieted. Was diagnosed with PCOS 6/06--started Metformin shortly after and am now 125 with slight change in diet--low carb--and exercise 45 min 3 times a week. JUst wondering how many thin cysters out there who are very muscular? I am and have always been but do not lift weights or anything severe. But I look like a swimmer--have very defined muscles in arms and legs and build bulky muscles very easily. Was just wondering if the increase in androgens is responsible. No one else in my family has my kind of muscle structure. Any one else out there like me? | |
