Question:
Does anyone here suffer from PCOS?

If so, did the weight loss result in the return of your period?    — Cindy K. (posted on December 30, 2000)

I have never been formally diagnosed with PCOS, but I believe that I have it. I show all kinds of symptoms. The severe weight gain, severely irregular periods, dark facial hair, inability to become pregnant (my daughter is 6 years old and I have been trying ever since, no luck). I am 8 weeks post op down 53 pounds. Since surgery, my periods have become like clockwork. I have not gone back on the pill, but plan to do that on my next cycle cause I don't want to become pregnant this soon. I truly believe that the minimal weight loss that I have experienced has regulated me. Good luck

Yes Cindy, I have been diagnosed w/PCOS. I am still taking provera monthly & have regular periods (though quite short w/no cramps or pms symptoms-lucky me). Prior to taking medication I didn't have a period in over 10 years. I will continue to take the Provera til my next yearly check-up. You certainly should discuss w/your doctor your particular situation..

I have PCOS and am on Glucophage and Yasmin-meds that have helped with symptoms (acne, irregular periods, and facial hair). I lost about 20lbs after starting Glucophage but have gained it back. Now I have high blood pressure, so I am looking into WLS. I would also like to have another child and am hoping that surgery/weight loss will help me.
