Hi All,

Long time cyster, first time poster.

Posting my symptoms here hoping that someone out there has had a similar experience and has advice medication recommendations for me. I would love to have a normal cycle every 28 days.

Symptoms & what I have been taking currently to manage:

-Very abnormal period, I get it about once a year. Been this way since I can remember. -> Was on the mini pill for years but stopped taking it. Got tired of taking a pill every day. Been off for about 4 years now.

-Cystic Ovaries/ I have had very painful cysts rupture. Started happening when I was 16 and the first time was by far the most painful. Legit I thought I was dying. Ever since happens about once every 15 months, and it is a complete day of day where nothing can tough my abdomen. I usually take an Ibuprofen and lay flat most of the day. For the longest time, no one could figure out what was happening until a year or two ago when I got an ultrasound right after the episode and a cyst has indeed burst. Lol for the longest time I thought I had stomach ulcers. -> no meds no really to help.

-Weight gain/binge eating disorder, always struggled with my weight/ control over food ever since about eight years old. -> Taking 12.5mg munjaro, lost about 20 pounds but now my weight loss is stalled. Food noise is gone, and through binge eating disorder treatment, the binging is in remission. Honestly my favorite medication! Wish I would lose another 20 lbs though.

- Facial hair will grow very long and I have cystic acne on my face.-> 100mg Spirolactone has been absolultely amazing for this. Cystic acne has been greatly reduced and only have to dermaplane my face once a month now. Only thing is my chest has grown a little bit and I don't love how I have to wear a bra all the time just to feel comfortable now.

-Anxiety/ Depression. Struggled with anxiety all my life, and when it overloads it tips into depression. -> 50mg sertraline is very helpful. Still have to do the work of therapy and breathing and shit lol.

I also take fish oil, and multi-vitamin everyday!

*Also been recommended myoinositol twice a day, but I just have not been able to keep up with taking it. It's also gets to be pretty expensive.

Is there anything I am missing? Anything I am not doing that will help me?

Anyone used metformin and GlP-1 at the same time?

With my PC/MOS I don't have a period..............advice needed!
