Hormones

Hello again,

I was just wondering mainly people with PCOS did you guys have any luck with fertility?

I also have one ovary and I wondering something else, how did you guys prevent pregnancies.

For me, I had a severe reaction to the milli pill aka norethindrone-e.estradiol-iron (JUNEL FE 1/20) 1 mg-20 mcg (21)/75 mg

And I was just wondering did anyone use the arm implant or depicote shot if so did it prevent any pregnancies?

Post menopausal before my RNY. You have good questions! I used to tolerate Trilevelin, but with RNY pills are not advisable due to malabsorption. I have a co-worker friend (with PCOS) that takes the pill so she has no period ever. A different co-worker acquaintance had a complete hysterectomy. Logically, loosing fat will help the symptoms because fat stores hormones. I don’t really know how the implants would work for you, I avoided them because of the weight gain. I use(d) barrier methods, add spermicide/lube as needed.

I have PCOS and have been on Depo (the shot) for 5 years. I had VSG 9/2021. I can't speak to the fertility piece, as I am not trying to get pregnant. But I have not noticed any return in my PCOS symptoms, PMDD, or any other fertility related issues. The shot continues to work well to keep my symptoms at bay and I am losing weight steadily as hoped.
