PCOS and periods



Recommended Posts

Hi all. First post here. I just had my surgery on Jan 16th. I have PCOS (was diagnosed at 14) and only have had 2 periods over the course of 4 years. One was after losing 25 lbs on a fad diet. I'm only a week out now, but was curious if other women with PCOS saw their periods return and how far out from surgery did they return?

Looking forward to having cycles (sounds weird, I know) and then being able to have babies! :-)

Surgery isn't until mid March :\ I have been like this for about three years. This is week four the last time I bled for eight months and now I'm anemic. I've had DNCs and blood transfusions all thanks to my PCOS!!

I'm really hopeful that they return. Glad to hear others have seen them come back, even if they are bad or irregular. I'm not having any at all right now so I'll take what I can get :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
