Services like Allara, PCOS Sisters.

If so, which are you using? What has been your experience? Are they prescribing your GLP-1? How much do they charge for refill scripts?

My [36F] ex’s [40M] primary source of income is family money / trust fund. I’m pregnant and he has threatened that the baby is not entitled to child support because he doesn’t work and the trust fund is a separate legal entity to him. I’m pretty sure this is not right. He has also threatened to leave the country to avoid child support.

I understand I can’t file for child support until the baby is born but is there something I should be doing since he has threatened to move / leave the country?

if you haven't noticed yet, the sub named has changed to r/PMOSonGLP to reflect the official name change of PCOS to PMOS, a name that better communicates the metabolic root of the disorder. there's nothing to do on your end but take note of the new name. this is still the same sub, no need to join a new sub – the name of the sub has simply changed (thanks Reddit for helping us out with this !)

if you know a woman struggling with PMOS, invite her to the sub r/PMOSonGLP

TW: pregnancy

I’m pregnant, unexpectedly, got pregnant while on Zepbound. I went to my first OB appt and told her my concerns about PCOS / PMOS unmedicated and gestational diabetes, especially because my mom had gestational diabetes with my little brother and diabetes runs in my family.

She told me, “You’re pregnant. Your PCOS is cured.” But I don’t think it works that way? Since it’s more of a metabolic thing?

Pregnancy hormones + coming off Zepbound … is no joke. I’m ravenously hungry all the time.

How did you talk to your OB about managing PMOS while pregnant? Did you go on Metformin?

Beyond the widespread attention GLP-1 drugs are receiving for treating obesity, lowering blood sugar and decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, emerging research is investigating their other potential impacts — including their effects on aging.

Just came across this article. Wanted to share. In brief - being overweight is a known risk factor for breast cancer due to higher estrogen levels, so GLP-1s helps reduce that risk as well.

announcement 📣

our sub name is changing to r/PMOSonGLP to reflect the official name change of PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) to PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome). you can read about the name change in the Lancet or hear about it on Fat Science.

there is nothing to do on your end. no need to join another sub. this sub's name is changing in 7 days on June 9, 2026. so after June 9, please be sure to tag r/PMOSonGLP.

let us know if you have any questions. and let us know what you think of the change!

Great new episode of Fat Science covering PCOS -> PMOS name change: Fat Science PMOS

In this article, PBS explicitly says PMOS / PCOS is related to metabolic syndrome. What do you think?

“Okay, our next question is from Jamie in Utah and she says, I have PCOS and despite it being very common, doctors in general seem to know very little about how to treat or manage it outside of birth control or fertility treatments. I've seen discussion in PCOS groups about Ovisitol and Inositol. Is this something you use with your PCOS patients?

If so, who might be a good candidate to consider it? And would you use it in conjunction with GLP-1 medications or would it be contraindicated? Thank you.

Thanks for the question. So PCOS, when you think about it, it's the abbreviation, it's for polycystic ovarian syndrome. And I always kind of think that name is funny because it's not really a problem with the ovaries, it's just how they respond to other imbalances that are in the system.

So for example, it could be insulin levels that are too high, kind of affect the ovarian response to some of the signals from the brain that stimulate ovulation and estrogen production. And there can be other drivers of the imbalance too that have to do with some of the famine signals such as ghrelin…”

I was at a women’s health event today tied to US women’s health week. This name change was actually a major topic of discussion which is positive. But people including physicians were still saying PCOS in conversation.

I’ve long said I have an “endocrine disorder” when I don’t want to explain what PCOS is, especially to men. I feel even more justified in saying I have an endocrine disorder now.

I’m the founding mod for this sub. I can’t change the name and worry about people finding us.

I’m still thrown off by “ovarian” in the name as someone with PCOS who has high AMH and high follicle count (I knew they weren’t cysts), but doesn’t have high testosterone but rather high DHEA-S (adrenal driven rather than ovarian).

I also don’t think this name change matters too much. I actually think GLP-1 medications are doing more to educate people about PCOS / PMOS than the name change. Because we’ve known thru lived experience that GLP-1s are treating PCOS … so we knew already about the endocrine and metabolic components. There are GLP and GIP receptors in the brain.

1 in 8 women have PCOS. In the US, 1 in 5 of those women have already tried a GLP-1. The new era of PCOS / PMOS treatment had already begun prior to this name change.

What do you all think of this new name?
