Hi, i’ve been speculating I have PCOS for about 8 years now.
My first symptoms: - weight gain - irregular periods - acne - mood swings
At around 16 I had a fibroadenoma in my breast. This has gone away and only flares up if I eat an excess of carbs for many days at a time. It used to be constant despite my diet, until I lost weight, which took a very long time with no set plan - just kind of naturally, with an increase in healthier eating and weightlifting. I’m now stuck again and still overweight. Granted, I eat a lot. Lol.
Since losing weight my period is completely normal and predictable.
I also have hirsutism, a very masculine face and recently got laser to remove my hair on my face. It worked well but not completely.
My DHEA, testosterone, thyroid etc is all NORMAL. I have no cysts on my ovaries either. My fat distribution is pretty even so probably not cushing’s. No fertility issues, have been pregnant twice but never given birth or had a miscarriage so no huge hormone changes.
I am really lost and can’t get into a doctor. I work in supplements so I want to find some that will help. Never had good reactions to medication or birth control. Don’t know if my estrogen is high, or low. Considering DIM and Inositol.
Not really asking for any specific advice, but if anyone has any experiences or insight they would like to share i would appreciate it.
