PCOS/Nexplanon
I got diagnosed with PCOS back in 2023 and have only very recently started to change my diet and add supplements to control it better. The drs weren’t very helpful when they diagnosed me and I had to basically do my own research into how to control it and get my periods back to normal.
I just had the Nexplanon implant removed 2 days ago. Whilst I was on that I had very irregular periods, sometimes I would go a whole year without having one, then i would just randomly start bleeding out of nowhere. I know the Nexplanon can make your cycles irregular anyway and I wasn’t sure if it was that or my PCOS that was causing the missing periods.
I had it removed because I wanted to get my cycles back to being regularly as I eventually want to try for a baby. If anybody has been on the implant before how long did it take to get your periods back to being more regular?
Supplements I currently take:
• Myo Inositol
• omega 3 fish oil
• Vitamin D
• Magnesium Glycinate
I have also been incorporating spearmint tea as I’ve heard it helps level out testosterone levels and helps with unwanted facial hair etc
PCOS symptoms I experience are:
•irregular periods
• facial hair on chin and top lip
• body hair under belly button, random hairs on the top part of my arms and hair on my bum cheeks
• food cravings especially chocolate and sweet things and the food cravings for those specific foods are more noticeable after I have eaten a meal
•fatigue
