Anyone else have PCOS?

It’s funny because I’ve always put on muscle easily and never quite felt 100% right about my uterus and it turns out almost 30 years later I’m finding out I have PCOS. I feel like it explains a lot of my gender identity ironically enough! I just always had this feeling something was off and it’s weird, but affirming to have my body validate that. Idk I might be stretching here. I like to ability to express between masc, femme and androgynous, but it’s felt in accordance with my body and never as if this fluidity was opposed with my body (except sometimes I wish I could shrink my chest, but sometimes I like having it tis what it ‘tis ). Just curious if anyone else feels the same!

Experience with vaginal dilators?

Hey Endo gang. I saw a new OBGYN to help with my PCOS stuff while I’m working on the endo with a pain specialist and surgeon (yes, I’m getting a laparoscopy soon). Basically he said that on top of the current pelvic floor therapy, I should look into vaginal dilators upon healing to help relax my muscles as insertion of basically anything really hurts. Has anyone tired them? How’d it go? I’m skeptical because it seems too easy but I’m open to trying them after my surgery healing period concludes. Also where did folks get theirs? (Points for discreet packaging lol).

So confused on why exercise makes me gain weight

Note: I’d say this is a flattering picture and it’s from the morning before the Endo/SIBO bloat from Sunday. I’m really struggling because my new OBGYN said today that I’m 40 pounds overweight and I’m starting on metformin. My therapist/psychiatrist (they happen to do both) thinks I have an ED and over exercise (HIIT cardio lap swimming or cycling 5 days a week for over an hour or until I hit 600 calories). I’ve been like this since I hit puberty. I went from super thin to this body type. I know I put on muscle very easily and have a lot of it. I’m just so sad because society rather have people dead than “fat.” I’ve been sensitive about my body my entire life and have no idea how to go about this safely. I know I have issues, I literally refuse to eat certain things and demonize food. I just don’t get why I do everything “right” and the only way I’ve ever lost anything in the past was stopping exercise and eating under 1000 a day. Obviously that’s dangerous and it comes back. I just needed to get it out and see if anyone has had anything similar or if metformin helped. I wanted wegovy but he couldn’t prescribe it.

I started on RHoNJ this past winter and binged the series. While the cast was messy and not everyone was always right I found it easy to rank my favs. Cue me starting RHoSLC and I’m two seasons in. I’m living for the chaos… but I don’t like any of the cast members. I can’t really choose a favorite because they say or do the wildest things an episode later.

Right now- Meredith is lost in the sauce. Whitney is constantly stirring shit with mean girl energy. Jennie was great… until she was fired for being racist. Mary is unintentionally hilarious and also totally evil and horribly racist. Heather is also lost in the sauce and Whitney lite. Lisa is really funny, but also really shady. Jen is so misguided, I genuinely feel bad for her despite her being criminally bad, I honestly think she’s just unwell and it’s hard to watch.

I don’t know if I like any of the cast in the way I do NJ. I like someone who owns up to their actions but I’m early on and want to favorite. Who are your favorites?
