pcos I’m

[Demi124]

hi, I’m 22 years old & was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 20, although I’d been going to the doctors 3 years before I actually got anywhere. I’m struggling with keeping my periods regular, sometimes I will have a regular cycle for months and then it suddenly stops.l, does anyone else have this? It’s awful when this happens as I have to do a pregnancy test which is always negative. I’ve tried all sorts to help but just don’t seem to get anywhere. I worry that I may struggle to have children & when speaking to my doctor about this I just get told not to worry and to take the contraceptive pill, which has never helped my symptoms. I’m not over weight, so I just don’t know what to do anymore. It affects my mental health as I’m constantly worrying and tracking my cycle.

try myo-inositol 2z2g/day for at least 6 months- even if you are not overweight based off BMI moving to the slightly lower end of what's considered 'normal' can be beneficial. Know this is a b**ch to hear but can only provide the research.

Omega 3 is a good option too, dose will depend on how much fatty fish you already get in their diet but supplementing with 1.2g/day of combined epa&dha has been shown to be effective in PCOS women jump on a call with me and i'll talk you through some of this stuff in more detail. Vitamin D, depends if you've taken it before. If you are vitamin D deficient I would 100% recommend (again doses need to be considered and discussed). There are other supplements like carnitine, research is there but not in quite as much depth so you'd have to do a little cost-benefit analysis. The ultimate goal is to lose weight, even if your BMI is in the 'normal' range moving to slightly lower end of normal is beneficial. The best way of doing this is working with a diet that works for you, often (not always) this includes higher fibre and higher protein foods as they have a bigger impact on satiety. Doing some exercise is also beneficial, both aerobic like walking, running, swimming, cycling etc... and some Resistance Training or HIIT (high intensity interval training). While I hate the fact there are people that badger on about fasted cardio etc.. as if it's magic for fat loss it may help improve metabolic flexibility in PCOS women so going for a morning hr walk or so before breakfast consistently could help.

Apologies for a lot of probably overwhelming information. Any references needed or questions please don't hesitate to get in touch
