Help
Newly diagnosed PCOS (PMOS? idk) Was on the copper IUD for the last three years. Just got it out today. Currently copper toxic, estrogen dominance, MTHFR mutation, HTMA shows a calcium shell that I am rocking right now.
After scouring through advice on this sub, I think that progesterone and spironolactone will help my lengthy laundry list of psych and physical symptoms. T came back high, and progesterone was at menopausal levels (i’m 27 lol)
Went to the OB, same story as usual. They don’t fucking believe anything I tell them. She said the cysts on my ovaries (which is what JUST got me diagnosed btw) “don’t look like typical PCOS”, and that I likely don’t have PCOS. okay. I asked for a referral to an endocrinologist, she said that they will not take me with “just PCOS”, and that I need ANOTHER metabolic disorder to get in. okay. She suggested I try an estrogen birth control (that I have already taken, that made me suicidal as HELL, and super fat.) okay.
I beg her for what I want, after some more counseling and bullshitting she finally gives it to me. I was hoping she would give me the natural version, (i.e. real progesterone) but instead she gave me the synthetic.
I’m wondering is there a difference between the synthetic and natural? Should I even make a fuss? Has anyone else been on it and had a good experience? Does any of this ever get any better? Any advice is appreciated.
