I take spirolactone for Hair growth. It has helped a great deal. I still get a few hairs, but it has greatly decreased, and is lighter in color. It also helps with a skin condition I have called sebaceous hyperplasia. I am pre-surgery, but I hope I can continue this particular med, because of what it does over all.

The laser treatments did not work for me at all, but there is a prescription cream called Vaniqa that helps some. Insurance doesn't cover it so it's a little pricey, but they usually give me a discount card for it.

I also have PCOS and had surgery to help with conception. I am 4.5 months post-surgery and have lost 75 of the 120 that the doctors wanted me to lose over the year (I would like to lose 150).

I had electrolysis for my facial hair and it has worked great.

I am getting conflicting information from my doctors. I am nearly 36 y/o and have been trying to conceive for 3 years. The OB/GYN and Fertility Specialist want me to start trying again in September 2012. This will only be 6.5 months post-surgery. The surgeon is recommending that I wait until one year post-op. She is telling me that the only reason to wait is so that I can lose more weight, but that I should not have any additional complications due to surgery, especially if I wait until 6 months post-op.

My husband and I are tyring to decie what to do.

Have any of you received this type of information?

Hi guys! I haven't been diagnosed with PCOS but I've been doing some research on it and I have a lot of the symptoms. I have a medical appointment on the 24th and Im gonna bring it up. The Hair growth on your chin omfg I've had that for YEARS this finally makes sense as a cause. I've also usually had very regular periods but he last year since I gained like 40lbs they have been very out of wack. I've also gotten some mild cramping latley not related to my TOM so im concerned. The hear growth on my chin has also been way worse with the weight gain then ever. Like I said I'm going to get this looked at.

My surgeon suggested me to wait for at least one year to get conceived ....give your surgery time to heal and your body to adjust to this change.luckily I conceived exactly after be year and the whole pregnancy period was horrible.so I would suggest you to wait till one year and you will get pregnant with out any treatment.trust me it's not easy after sleeve.

My RE wants to start 6 months out also. My surgeon said the reason they recommend 1-2 years is to maximize weight loss. He said it wouldn't harm the baby. I am 36 and I think the RE is concerned about time/egg quantity and quality. I'm facing the same tough decision.

Ok, this seems like the place to bring up this question. So, my fellow PCOSers.... after not having a period for 7 months, and now losing 42 pounds, I'm having the period from hell. I sorta expected it, but wowwie, is it heavy. I'm not sure when I should be alarmed. I'm on day 2 of the worry flow. Last year, my Ob-gyn gave me a pill to induce my period because I had a thick build up in my uterine wall from not properly cycling... so, I know thats whats happening. Its just concerning.... and uncomfortable. :unsure: Anyone else deal with something similar?

@ moreganK in June and July I got my Tom that is twice in the whole year well this August and I'm waiting for it again but when I had it it was very painful I drank hot tea and put heat packs which helped a lot another thing our body is not use to have a menstrual each month but I'm hoping that the pain gets better as time goes on.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
