I’ve been taking Lizelle pills for 3 months already but I’m planning to stop bc it’s pricey ( still a student pa ). I’m scared what will happen after I stop taking it though. I take it to have my regular period.

My questions are:

1. I’m not acne-prone but I read some posts here na nagbreakout sila after stopping, will I have a break out too?

2. Am I going to gain more weight?

3. Will the PCOS symptoms be more harsh if I stop? My symptoms before taking the pill are irregular period, hairy, weight gain.

hello, does anyone here have kakila na need ng hysterectomy (removal of uterus) & oophorectomy (removal ng ovaries)? someone i know (early 50s) got diagnosed with persistent heavy mentrual bleeding & mag undergo two raspa (D&C) pero nag bbleed parin.

we consulted her first doctor and said na we should push through with the major operation, however, nag second opinion kami but the otehr doctor said na we should not push through since nearing na siya sa menopause and said na there is a huge long term side effects na will experience if naremove yun

but kahapon, bumalik ulit kami sa first doctor and she said na if hindi raw kasi tanggalin, my potential risk na for cancer (pero nagpa biopsy na rin non after raspa if malignant na pero not naman daw)

now, we don't know what to do kasi different yung opinion ng doctors kdkekskskaka

Hi, may PCOS po ako and weigh 68 kg, with the height of 5'2 (157 cm). According to my blood chem results, I am high in Blood Uric Acid and Tryglycerides.

I want to lose weight and regulate my uric acid and tryglycerides. But I don't know how to start. I've been told to do the calorie deficit, but I don't know which foods to eat without spiking my uric acid and tryglycerides.

Sino po kaya ang pupuntahan ko for this? Or is there any website po na helpful sa ganito?

Hi guys. Ask ko lang sana sa mga nakapag-take ng provera, ilang days yung period ninyo after taking? Including yung parang spotting lang?

Worried kasi ako baka hindi normal yung sa akin since walang mentioned duration yung OB ko. Today's my 4th day na ng bleeding. 1st 2 days, spotting lang then starting kahapon medyo malakas na sya.

History: I had prolonged bleeding nung June. 1 month yon then nagpa-check up ako and niraspa. After 1 week ng raspa, pinag-take ako ng provera for 14 days for 3 months. Aug 12 last day ko taking provera and Aug 15 unang spotting.

I was recently diagnosed with PMOS (formerly PCOS). I was prescribed to take myo-inositol and Duphaston.

I’ve been setting the inositol aside… Yesterday I have decided to give it a shot since OB-Gyne ko na may sabi. MyPCOS, 2x a day. Found it too expensive but didn’t want to go back to TGP tabs. So I tried Pure Form.

So eto na nga, day 2 ko pa lang. And grabe gutom ko. :( IDK how to manage this lalo na sayang naman since nabawasan na ako ng 4 kilos, ayoko naman ikain. To describe it, it’s the hunger na parang nakakalata feeling. Para akong nagpi-PMS.

Can anyone share how they take theirs?

Hi! Anyone here with PCOS/PMOS who does high-intensity activities like crossfit or hyrox?
Kamusta naman effect on you girls? How do you prepare or do you have any special recovery rituals or take any supplements?

I am really interested in trying crossfit and hyrox despite it being high-intensity even though mas advisable ang low-intensity for us with PCOS/PMOS. 🙈 Thanks!

Background: I strength train 3x a week and do reformer pilates once a week 😊

Was wondering kung pwede ang transvaginal ultrasound kahit virgin. Trauma na po sa transrectal dahil masakit at mahirap magfocus

For context, I’m 45yo and last year I was diagnosed with PCOS and endometrium polyp. I also had a hysteroscopy and laparoscopy procedure to remove the polyp. My last period before I had the procedure in July 2025 was February 2025. After the procedure, my OB put me on metformin and the supplements like inositol but I only got my period in October 2025. After that wala na ulit.

My OB wanted me to go on GLP-1 pero I was scared kasi so sabi ko baka pwede natural lang. I tried mag calorie deficit nag workout din ako pero hirap talaga mag lose ng weight.

January 2026, I had my lab tests my FBS was nasa 115 and HBA1C at 5.5. Medyo pre diabetic na. Pero tuloy lang ako sa workout and calorie deficit nasa 86kg ako at that time. And then around April 2026, my cousin and OB friend introduced me to Unicity. Medyo skeptical ako kasi parang fasting siya na like no breakfast. Eh hindi ko kaya ng walang breakfast talaga. I tried it pero iniba ko yung time ko. Ginawa ko na mas early ang dinner ko like 3 or 4pm na para the next day makakain na ako ng breakfast mga around 7 to 8am.

So I did that and also medyo increase din ng protein in take ko. First few weeks ko trying Unicity para akong nasusuka na ewan at walang gana kumain. Ganun yung effect niya hanggat sa naging okay na ako.

Fast forward to August 2026. I had my blood works and my FBS is now at 85 and HBA1c at 4.8. I also had my ultrasound and wala na ang PCOS ko, normal sized ovaries daw and my endometrium lining is manipis din. Nagkaroon din oala ako ng period this month. I asked the doctor if menopause na ako and sabi niya hindi pa daw kasi malaki pa eggs ko. Maybe the reason kaya ang tagal ko walang period is hormonol imbalance talaga.

I’m really happy sa results and feeling ko in a way nakatulong yung fasting and fiber ng unicity sa akin.

Ang question ko lang din po kasi gusto ko magpa OB pero meron ba kayo recos na OB na more on sa pag fix ng hormonal imbalance ang approach?

I was given a list of tests but my hmo can only cover 20k. Can anyone please give me suggestions where to do the tests instead of St. Lukes (50k sya sa St. Lukes)… and at the same time, yung QUALITY naman yung lab tests.

Or ok lang kung medyo sumobra po ng konti siguro ng mga 10k…

Hello Everyone,

Currently I am 75Kgs and have a PCOS/PMOS.

I tried Everything. Go to the Gym then 1 meal a day.. pero super nahihirapan parin po ako. Pls dont judge me.

I am planning to try a T-i-r-z - kasi gusto ko po talaga nang pumayat. Super naaapektuhan na yungconfidence ko sa sarili ko, to the point na ayoko lumabas and if need talaga lumabas praying na wala akong makasalubong na kakilala.

I want to try T in a proper way.
What Doctor should I go to for Advise?
Mahal po ba magpaT?
Magkano po budget in a month?
Any suggestion saang clinic ako pumunta for T?

Hope someone can give me advise.

I dont know what to do… pagod na ako maramdaman na ang pangit pangit ko.

help.

Hello po, ask ko lang sana about anyone who experienced biopsy /endometrial sampling/d&c? How was the procedure? Is the pain tolerable? Rate 1-10. I'm terrified that I have to undergo this medical procedure because of my thickened endometrium. Another thing is that I am still a Virgin(never had sex) and the doctor told me na masakit daw ito, need ng anesthesia for someone na walang pang experience nang penetration. Ano po bang magiging process nito? Matagal po bang makakarecover sa pain?
