Hello its me again Hahah safe place ko na tong sub na to sa reddit. Haha. Well eto na nga, Hindi lang naman ako siguro yung may feeling na masaya tayo para sa kanila pero as ttc couple malungkot para satin na sila nagkaron na tayo wala pa rin. Haha. Wait naiiyak ako habang nag tytype. Andali lang kasing sabihin ng mga taong nakapaligid satin na "darating din yan" "wag ka mawalan ng pag asa" as i open my phone and alex gonzaga popped up on my screen natigilan na naman ako HAHAHA. Umiiyak na naman ako sa gilid. Hahaha. Well ayun medyo gumaan na nailabas ko na dito hahaha. Sana lahat ng gustong mag ka anak ibigay na.

So ayun na nga, 4 days na ako mula nung mag stop mag take ng Metformin dahil sa acne breakout.

Ang problem ko naman ngayon is nagsisimula na naman ang cravings ko. Paano ba to ma-overcome? :(

hello po! where po kaya maganda magpa-ultrasound and how much po? female doctor din po sana ang gagawa (my doctor said yung iba kase, kung sino ang gumagawa ng xray yun ang pinapag-ultrasound nila)

Medyo off ang title but yes. I dont know if right sub but context I am 30 recently underwent d&c because of abnormal bleeding 6 weeks na akong nireregla that time. I was diagnosed with pcos for 2 years now and katulad nating lahat i struggle with weight loss in just a span of 5 years from 55 - 62 - 69- 72 and now i weigh 79-80kg na hindi lang naman si PCOS ang factor sa weight gain ko. Then eto after ko mag sick leave kinukwento ko the diagnosis and struggles ano ginagawa ko medication diet. Im on pills now and ginagawa ko is nakatakal yung rice ko kasi eto lang kaya kong isacrifice. Then comes to mga kawork ko who are also on the heavier side mas heavy sila compared sa akin but they are starting na magpapayat na and they lost quite weight. Sa kanila ko pa mismo maririnig yun "oh diet diet din pag may time" "Kala ko diet ka" Tinakal ko rice ko "nako di totoo yan" And mas marami pang sobrang nakaka down na side comments. I dunno if its just hormones sa pills or what perong sobrang na ooffend and affected talaga ako like i try not to pero alam kong naapektohan na ako mentally. Na sa kanila pa ako nakakarinig ng mga ganung negative words. Compared sa mga ka work ko na payat na ang mga sinasabe "sige kaya mo yan" "Wag mo biglain onti ontiin mo lang " "Need mo parin magpagaling kaya wag mo bibiglain katawan mo mag bawas" And maraming pang good words.

Is this valid? Ako lang ba nakakaexperience ng ganto?

Hello! I was diagnosed with PCOS, and I’ve noticed that my hair is starting to thin at the top and it has really affected my confidence :(( I’ve heard that pumpkin seed oil or rosemary can help, but I’ve also read that for some people, their condition got worse. Has anyone here tried any of these and seen good results? Or do you have any other suggestions or alternatives?

Hello, share ko lang. Di ko alam kung sa Folic Acid and Fish oil ako pumayat before and nabuntis pero gusto ko siya itry ulit. Before kasi wala pa akong anak mataba ako I was overweight for my height then naisip namin magTTC na dami nireseta sakin ng OB before pero ang binili ko lang Folic Acid tska Fish oil. Di na ko nagtake ng pills coz pagod na me kaka-take niyan tas pag inistop ko babalik lang din sa dati. Then pandemic came, dami namin pinagdaanan nagulat na lang ako I was loosing weight na from 55kg to 47kg na lang akala ko pa before may sakit ako kasi pumayat ako bigla. Di naman ako nagddiet non pero I remember wala akong gana kumain at all. Like kakain ako ng mcdo pero di ko maubos ung rice kasi di ko alam bsta wala lang ako gana. Medyo naninibago sa self ko non as a matakaw na ferson hahahha! Hanggang sa nagregular mens ko kasi pumayat na din at ayun nagpositive na nga sa PT! Hehehe

So ayon, ngayon na momshie na ko overweight nanaman nag ferson at nagbabalik si pcos gusto ko sana itry ulit. Baka eto na ung sagot ko ulit para pumayat. Napakahirap pumayat sa totoo lang 😭 Ayoko na rin magpills talaga. Nakakabaliw sya ses 😆

hello! I would like to ask if may same po ba dito na skinny din pero diagnosed with pcos? even tho mapayat ako, malaki yung tyan ko na para akong buntis lalo po sa may belly area. always din akong bloated. ob suggested to take yaz pills pero 1 month lang po yung tinagal ko since mahal yung gamot.

every month din naman po ako nagkakaroon na tumatagal ng 3-4 days, at painful yung cramps na tumatagos hanggang likod. pansin ko lang din po kasi na medyo hinihingal ako or napapagod agad kapag kumikilos. ano pong tini-take niyo na supplements para maging active? thank you so much po!

Hello! does anyone have any recos san pwede magpa check if may pcos, yung alam niyo sana magkano aabutin and student friendly ang price/process 🥹🥹 thank sm to whoever can help huhu super lala ng PMS, cramps and lower back pain ko bcos of irreg period kaya i wanted to get checked na hays

ps. have other symptoms like rapid weight gain, excessive unwanted hair growth and super irregular periods

Hello po, 22F diagnosed with pcos. Hindi po ako nagtatake ng pills for my pcos as per my ob said. Pwede po ba ako mag take ng contraceptive pills for my active sex life po? I am currently taking berberine, tgp myo inositol powder, and fish oil. Should I add my contraceptive pills po to my routine? Tyia

Nahihiya na kasi ako sa parents ko na naghehelp for meds and we already consumed a lot of boxes of Althea pero wala namang nagbago 😔😔

Namamahalan din kami sa check up esp sa ultrasound kaya nakakahiya naman if itutuloy ko pa… parang wala namang other negative effects aside sa emotional and mental health sakin kaya I decided na I want to stop na..?

Last Nov pa po yung last mens ko 😔

I’ve been diagnosed with PCOS (now called PMOS) for around 5 years already and honestly my current situation has been really exhausting. I’ve been having my period continuously for 8 months straight.

Before anyone asks bakit hindi ako nagpacheck up agad, honestly sobrang hirap financially from 2024 to 2025. Ngayong 2026 lang ako medyo naka-bawi because I moved to a better day job, got opportunities with international freelance clients sa gabi, and finally got HMO coverage from my full-time work. Super laking tulong talaga nun.

Thank God talaga for HMO kasi sagot lahat ng consultation, CBC, pati yung ultrasound na pinapasok sa vajayjay 😭 sobrang laking tulong financially kasi if out of pocket lahat yun baka hindi ko pa rin maprioritize magpacheck.

So yes, tiniis ko yung 8 months straight na period. Physically, emotionally, at financially draining siya. Ang gastos sa pads 😭 but thankfully hiyang ako sa Sisters na brand kasi wala naman akong rashes or irritation.

Right now most of my budget napupunta sa main medicines to stop the bleeding and iron supplements kasi medyo bagsak na rin katawan ko from the blood loss. Hindi ko pa nabibili lahat ng supplements na nireseta ni Doc pero slowly trying to help myself na rin by starting an anti-inflammatory diet and doing 30 mins to 1 hour of exercise daily.

Hindi siya madali honestly, lalo na kapag pagod ka na physically and mentally, pero kailangan lumaban 🥹

What really made me emotional through all of this is my boyfriend. Super patient, understanding, and comforting niya. Mas lalo akong na-in love sa kanya kasi ang dami kong nakikita online na mga lalaking diring-diri sa period blood or laging reklamo about mood swings.

Naging open din ako sa kanya na may chance na mahirapan akong mabuntis because of my condition. Sabi niya okay lang daw sa kanya and grabe talaga iyak ko after nun 😭

May times pa na parang monthly may iyak episode ako sa kanya kahit maliit na bagay lang, pero he still reassures and comforts me every single time.

I know some people would say bare minimum lang naman maging understanding, pero when you’re dealing with something that makes you feel exhausted and insecure about yourself, sobrang big deal magkaroon ng taong pinaparamdam sayo na safe ka instead of being ashamed of your condition 🥹

I had unprotected sex on May 18. No ejaculation inside but possible pre-cum exposure. I don’t take pills anymore since monthly I have irregular periods

My last period started April 28. I have PCOS and my cycles are irregular (33–40 days), so ovulation timing is hard to track.

I took emergency contraceptive pills within a few hours after sex and completed the full dose as prescribed by my OB. Yes, i called my OB right away. Also, im on isotret for 36 days now

Today I also tried to inquire about getting a copper IUD, but no clinics are responding yet. i feel like I’m overthinking it and taking the lack of replies as a “sign” not to proceed. I will also be going back to my province soon which adds to my stress.

Noww I’m extremely anxious and overthinking every body sensation and possible pregnancy sign. I keep spiraling even though I already took the pills correctly.

i just need calm, factual advice based on evidence (similar experience esp the ovulation part), not fear or assumptions pls

PS. if you feel like commenting congratulations or negativity, please don’t bother. I’m not in the headspace for that right now.

Hi Pcos cysters sa mga may pcos na napreggy na. Any tips naman po TTC po kami trinatry muna namin Natural way. When ba tamang timing mag Baby Dance after ng mens every other day ba or every 2 days more chances of winning. Ang hirap din kasi ng Ovulation Kit ang hirap tumiming mga cysters 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺. Tapos naglalagay din ako sa hips ng unan every after magbaby dance. Ok ba un? TIA in advance po. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💙♥️💙♥️

hello, f25 po. i was doing a lot of blood work last week and GP doctor requested for a TVS din. i got it and initial reading is i have PCOS but still refered me to OB to maybe officially diagnose it.

so i went to OB today and it was the worst check up i had experienced sa buong buhay ko. ewan ko siguro oa na kung oa pero hindi ako comfortable sakanya like from start to finish i just know na hindi na ako babalik sakanya for a follow up and mag change OB nalang or baka sa ENDO nalang ako pumunta.

the dr was asking all possible symptoms na naencounter ko and everytime na sasagot ako like parang ikkwento ko ung mga nararamdaman ko or naeexperience ko na symptoms na binabanggit niya, kinacut off niya ako. gusto niya pag may tinanong siya, straight to the point ung sagot dapat. it’s my first time and i don’t know exactly kung pano ko sasagutin yon without explaining this or that. i didnt had the chance to explain or share the things i observed. feeling ko na judge ako or nanliit ako haha and cant even defend myself. nangingilid na ung luha ko (mababawa luha) pero pinipigilan ko and gusto ko mag walk out in the middle of the consultation. didn’t even agree to check down there sa sobrang uncomf ko sakanya. by the end of the consultation, i was officially diagnosed ng PCOS and was advised to get additional tests to know what kind of meds i need to take.

dramas aside, just wanted to ask for your advice if mag stick ba ako sa OB or try ako magpa consult din sa Endocrinology?

thanks in advance. 😅

I used to be productive as hell. Academic achiever, and even hanggang makapag work. However, di ko alam bakit unti-unti yung nawala. And recently, I was diagnosed na may PCOS, and hindi sya halata sakin because di naman ako mataba and yung ibang symptoms like yung sa body hair. Kaya lang, sobra yung pagod ko kahit walang ginagawa. Parang kaya ko maubos yung isang araw na nakahiga lang huhuhu di ko na alam huhu

Helpp huhu recently ive been getting very frequent cluster migraines that are associated with stomach issues and lots of vomiting just to get rid of it. I’ve been to so many doctors na mapaOBGYN or Gastro but no one seems to be able to give me a proper diagnosis.

I just want to know if may nakakaramdam din ng ganito? Hindi ko alam ano nagttrigger sa totoo lang. basta i would know if a cluster migraine is coming and i wont be able to function for days hanggang sa naisuka ko na laaht ng gusto ko isuka :(( i feel miserable huhu
