I'm 21 also have pcos birth control pills made me physco I have had my iud in place for almost 3 years I love it it's helped so much for my periods I'm still pre op but def hoping other side affects of it fade I also have under active thyroid

I have Pcos too. I was diagnosed in 2000. Its more well known now and diagnosed more quickly than back then. Does anyone take metformin to treat symptoms and if so did you go off it post surgery?

I was on metformin for pcos. I had to stop taking it during my pre op diet because my blood sugar was going too low. I am now 2 months post op. I have had 2 periods, both were pretty bad cramp wise and bled longer and heavier. Hoping that diminishes. I have noticed a decrease in facial hair. As for birth control, my husband had vasectomy because I can't do pill, made me crazy. Ous isn't an option for me because of c section scarring and patch is a no go cuz I'm allergic to latex and adhesives. (im just a bundle of fun right, lol) I def have some awful mood swings.

I too have PCOS. Was diagnosed 5 years ago when my husband and I were looking into why we couldn't get pregnant. Been a long, hard road ever since. We finally decided to just quit trying. When we started looking into WLS we were told that losing the weight could actually end up bringing our fertility back. We are still pre-op but have been doing the pre-op diet and I have already noticed a change in my periods. They are actually occurring and on an actual cycle! So we will see what happens! =)
