Symptoms worse than ever after loss

PCOS symptoms intensified

I have recently had a PG loss 8 weeks ago. As I have been recovering from surgery, I noticed symptoms of PCOS that are either intesified or new ones I have never seen. For example, I have always had some "shedding" when it comes to brushing my hair each morning. However, these days I notice a lot more coming out and through out the day. I seem to be frustrated and angered more easily these days.

Has anyone else noticed this after PG or PG loss?

Thanks.

My hair's been coming out like crazy, but this was before the loss. It's a new symptom, I've only had it a few months. I don't know, it could be because my hair is longer now (Shoulder length.) than it's ever been, but my husbands hair is longer than mine (I mean way longer.) and he doesn't shed like I do.

Since the m/c I haven't really noticed an increase in symptoms, everything seems to be where it was before.

Ive always had hair falling out. I always thought it was the b/c or just that I had too much hair. My hair is below my mid back...until today. Im cutting it off. I never knew it was a symptom of PCOS. I have horrible doctors here that dont know anything. Maybe there is a medication for that too? I want to know why have doctors not designed a special pill that treats all PCOS symptoms and helps to conceive?

Actually, as weird as it sounds my PCOS seems to be getting better. It's like the hormone surge of being pg kicked my body into gear. All of a sudden I'm losing weight, my weird hair growth has slowed and I have energy like I've never had before. I had blood work done as part of the followup to the miscarriage and my testosterone and estrogen levels are better than they've ever been.

My symptoms got worse after my loss last year, I had more unwanted hair growth on my chin and such, I needed soy in addition to met and a bigger dose of met to ovulate. I also had a much shorter luteal phase and had to take B6 to regulate that. I always blamed the m/c for my symptoms getting worse.

Thanks so much for the responses. I can say my cycle was almost the same length as it normally has been. Usually I am 45-48 days, this time it was about 53 days. However, I notice I have more mood swings, hair loss seems worse, and the few hairs on my chin are growing back more often. However, the dr put me on Yasmin for 3 months so I can get an HSG completed. She will not do bloodwork for a month after stopping the Yasmin. (Today was day 4 of Yasmin).

Thanks again, I hope everyone the best.
