Unhappy New To Pcos And Sc... So Lost And Confused! Help Is Much Needed Here...

Hi my name is Pamela. I fell upon this site while I was searching for more info about PCOS. I was diagnosed in April by my GYN and he put me on YAZ BC to regulate my hormones, but was unable to deal with the side effects. BCP's are not for me!! After that, I put the whole PCOS bit on the back burner, thinking that it was someohow resolve itself. In the meantime, I noticed that I had put on some weight. I am not over weight YET... I'm 4'11" and my usual healthy weight was around 100lbs, Give or take 3 lbs. I gained 15 lbs in 2 months without really realizing it. I started noticing that my pants were getting tighter, so I decided to diet but that did not work. I then started a serious diet and work-out regimen and it did absolutely NOTHING. For the past 3 months all I've been doing is maintaining my current weight. Recently I've been doing more research on PCOS and realized that I have 99.9% of all the symptoms. I made an appt with my Doctor and with an Endocrinologist. Hopefully I'll get to the bottom of this, bc I'm so lost, discouraged, and scared. I've been watching my carbs and excersizing and nothing has come from all of my hard work. I do not feel healthy or good about myself at all which at times causes me to give up on dieting and excersize all together. I'm hoping to hear similar stories with success to lift my spirits.

WHAT HELPS? WHICH MEDS? THIS HAPPENED SO SUDDENLY AND I JUST WANT TO FEEL LIKE MYSELF AGAIN

Hi Pamela, welcome.

When I first went off BCP I gained about 15 lbs. I started using Metformin (it is normally used for Diabetes, but since PCOS is usually an insulin resistance problem, it can help with our cycles). I have since maintained, maybe dropped a few lbs. But haven't been working out as much as I should. Maybe you could ask about this with the RE.

Hang in there.
