Hi all, I'm a newbie to this newsgroup. I came accross this site while searching for info on PCOS. I have the following symptomps/conditions, but an additional symptom that I haven't seen mentioned on any other sites. I have had very tender/sagging breasts for a few weeks.
- irregular periods (none for the last 5 months)
- hair on upper lip and chin
- thinning scalp hair (+ I've already started loosing hair on the temples, this is very depressing)
- overweight (5'2 weighing 165)
* - very tender breasts (tender==sagging, noticed just a few weeks ago)
I'm almost finished with my first cycle of Metformin. I'm a vegetarian so its a bit difficult but I have started eating low carb foods only (only veggies and fruits mostly). I have an appt with a gynec next week. Hopefully she will prescribe some BCPs to help me get my period.
*Has anyone else experienced the same? Any advice anyone? Someone please help.
Thanks.
I did have tender ones for a while. I think it was because I really needed to start, but it just wouldn't come.Since I started the BC pills, it stopped. Now, hopefully, I'll have AF when this pack is almost gone.
I had that really badly once. I was sure I was pregnant. I even had large blue veins visible. I went to the gyno, and after some blood work, my progesterone levels were really out of whack. It still happens every once in a while- mainly has to do with my periods.
He didn't prescribe me any medicine, but he did monitor it, and the next time I went, my levels were closer to normal.
Good Luck!
