Anyone with PCOS?

Also for the facial hair, I had better luck with electrolysis than laser and its cheaper. Laser can burn your face. Waxing or plucking makes the hair grow back thicker. This means that if you accidentally pull out peach fuzz it will come back as a true hair. If you can't or won't do electrolysis the best thing to do is shave. There is a great forum for hair problems called Hairtell. You can google it.

PCOS here too! I was able to have a baby 8 yrs ago. However not bc of pcos I had heart failure after giving birth. We tgen adopted a beautiful baby from China. No one understands how hard it is to lose weight with pcos. I am getting my paperwotk together and hoping insurance covers the procedure!

I was sleeved on may 6 so just 3 weeks out. I have lost 29lbs so far and hope to get some relief from the PCOS, too. I was diagnosed at 38 after getting married and trying to start a family. I also have endometriosis and the birth control hormones didnot help, only made me gain more weight! Hoping to get off this merry-go-round and finally lose weight. At least then I can enjoy an active lifestyle

I have PCOS as well as Hashimoto's and Fibromyalgia. I was lucky to get pregnant in 2000 after a strict low-carb diet for 6 months. After dealing with horrible pain from cysts and trying a uterine ablation in 2006, I had a full hysterectomy in 2008. Relieved a lot of my symptoms, but still had issues with being unable to lose weight.

I had surgery 1/17/13 and have lost 56 pounds. I'm not a fast loser, but its been pretty steady. I still don't have normal energy levels, but I'm better than I was before surgery. I've lost a lot of hair, but am seeing a lot of new growth.

I was told by my surgeon that with PCOS the weight loss is slower than others but it does come off .

I have PCOS and have NOT had surgery yet. My date is July 10th and I'm hoping to all gods there are that it helps cure my PCOS. I've heard stories of people completely getting rid of it to where they didn't even need medication anymore. I have a huge stomach area, horrible menstrual cycle, and have tried having a baby for 3 years, with obviously no luck. We are hoping that after 6+ months and a positive amount of weight loss, we can try again and not need any IVF!!!

We are all hoping surgery decreases our PCOS symptoms . I was lucky enough to fall pregnant twice , my doctor was shocked . Keep positive and with weight loss it should kick start your body ovulate. I had a friend who did IVF for 7 years with no luck , she moved to the country ,quit her stressful job , lost 10 kgs and BAM fell pregnant naturally. Best of luck to you !!!
