Does this sound like a case of PCOS?
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi there! I do have a doctors appointment booked for next week, but I wanted to get everyone’s take on whether this sounds like PCOS or not. In the past 2-3 months I got all of these symptoms relatively suddenly. It started out with a 1 day period in August, a week of nothing, and then one more day of bleeding. Then, my normal period start range came and went this month with no period, so I haven’t had a normal period since July. I have 2 very dark and long hairs on my chest that appeared around mid-August. I have also suddenly started to break out pretty significantly (I always got a pimple here and there but it’s more widespread now). I also have a lot of pelvic pain. It is toward the front, and it will wake me up in the middle of the night with a painful, dull ache, and sometimes when I walk. Finally, the most frustrating to me, is weight fluctuation. My weight had actually always been about the same, but this summer, I got into really good shape (I work out about 6 times a week and eat very healthy) and over the past 2 months it seems like all of the fitness progress I made reverted back appearance-wise despite increased workouts (I even ran a half marathon). Does this sound like PCOS? Thanks in advance!

A couple of tips to help with your weight and skin, avoid sagar, alcohol and dairy as much as you can. Drink plenty of water and take vitamin and mineral tablets. I never ate much sugary foods, but found out there was loads of hidden sugars in tomato products, diet products and some dairy products. Always check sugar content on the label, I was told nothing over 9 grams as a rule.
