Nice video ❤

First view and comment🥳

Have finally switched to a female GP and I’m getting blood tests and ultrasounds to confirm PCOS diagnosis. Had male GPs my whole life, they mentioned PCOS once but there wasn’t a lot of information 10 years ago. I have a lot of resentment towards them at the moment, but am glad I’ve met a GP who finally cares. Thank you so much for your video! It’s giving me hope ❤

Hey guys! It's been two years since I last made an update in regards to my PCOS and I'm going to be focusing on more PCOS related content and providing updates on how I've been doing! Feel free to reply to this with any questions you have so I can make this for my next QA videos! I'm not a professional but I would love to be able to provide some basic advice and knowledge I have gained from my own experience with PCOS! <3

Pcos isn't new.

nice vlogs may be you should add some voice overs.

Does it make facial hair worse ?

My Doctor won't give me anything to help lose weight he says I need to be severely obese. I was working out 5 days a week cardio and weights and lost 20 lbs in two months and eating healthier. But the weight loss suddenly stopped and I've been at the same weight for a month now eating the same amount of calories. Idk whatever to do. I also started having horrible low blood sugar since I started working out many times. I get physically shaky, nausea, blurry vision, confused. Even if I eat protein before my workout it doesn't help. I just feel defeated. I don't know what else to do.

So much of this sounds familiar like maybe I have PCOS... The only thing I would say, is do not stay on metformin long term, if you can help it! Im on metformin *FOR TYPE 2 DIABETES* that I got after being overweight & insulin resistant for so long... and at first I lost 40 pounds! The first 6 months was great! Then it had to be adjusted cuz it wasn't being as effective... weight loss stopped, regardless of adjusting the dosage. And then 6 months of no weight loss or gain, I began gaining all of it back. Now (2 years total) I'm back to square one weight-wise, still taking metformin for T2-Diabetes, looking for alternatives to help manage my insulin/blood sugar, because the metformin is starting to not be as effective AGAIN! and I don't want it adjusted or increased... I have a lot of pain in my uterus during periods, and can painfully feel when my ovaries are ovulating between periods. They are regular now (for the past couple years) but my periods used to be very irregular. Went 8 months without one, one time, for example... but even though they are regular now, I experience a lot of pain... And hair loss, can't lose weight no matter what I do, hormonal acne sometimes... I also started young! I was 11 (35 now) when I first started. Maybe there is a correlation to starting young? I dunno, but metformin is not a long term solution! I'm on here looking at vids talking about natural/herbal supplements they were able to take that helped. Like Magnesium, Chromium Picolinate, Myo-Inositol & D-Chiro Inositol... Cuz metformin ain't it! And I'm not going on birth control! Exactly because (as you said) it has horrible side effects!

Now u got ur periods back regularly Evey month

Did you experience any side effects?

So amazing! I'm about to take metformin for my PCOS! Thank you for sharing this. I'm curious what dose did you start with? And What dose are you currently on?

Have you gone off of metformin & maintained the weight loss?

The struggle is real, together we can fight this, stay strong sisters 🙏🏼💕

How many milligrams was each tablet ?

Thanks for sharing! <3

I have pcos and its so difficult to lose weight and feel happy about myself

Well, feeling how it all began to shrink and eventually disappear within 2 months was so liberating. I followed the steps I mentioned, and within the first 2 weeks the bloating was gone. I simply go'ogled Tilly Strankten's Guide and it's like I hit the feel-good reset button lol.

Thank you for sharing! This helped a lot with my 'vitamin'-research for PCOS :-)

Hey girl, thanks for the video I also struggled with my period at 13 got a scan done, turned out to be a cyst they told me I’m young it will go by it self , at 14/15 i suddenly gained around 20 kg tried to get appointments but my gp was shit I literally found it easier to fly to my home country got diagnosed there in no time got metformin at 16 my period came after stopping for 7 months , my acne cleared a little bit and the hair that I have is less but I still haven’t lost weight yet..

Thnkew for info sweeety

im currently at 100 kgs ive gained about 20 kg so fast and haven’t lost anything in two years i was diagnosed two years ago and was put on birth control since i had the worst acne ive ever had. since getting on the pill my acne has gotten much better but my weight has increased so much. i have stretch marks all over my stomach and ive been so depressed. I just want to be happy i feel like i cant do anything right i dont like the way i look im so uncomfortable in my own body

Did the metformin reduce your excess body hair issues?

Going vegan was the best for my pcos. Period were regular to the day every month, were less painful and I still had my energy. It helped my anxiety and depression. I would only workout out 2 times a week but lost so much weight and kept it off. I give myself oiled head massages once a week which helps the hair loss and keep up my skin care and avoid dairy for acne which is linked to pcos. I had to get off the pill as it was causing major depression for me. These tips really helped over the last 5 years 🤍🤍

Hey, idk if you will see this but I'm 15 andI'm pretty sure I have PCOS. I haven't told my parents about this but I am getting blood tests done at the end of July. Do you think I should bring this up to the doctor there? I also want to tell my mum but whenever I tell her about issues related to my health she blames it on me saying that I'm just unhygienic and honestly, up until a few weeks ago I believed her. But after hearing about the symptoms of PCOS e.g. abnormal hair growth and dark circles on skin, I realized that it wasn't only my lifestyle fueling these symptoms. I don't really know what the aim of this comment was but ig I just want some advice. It gets really lonely and scary keeping these things to myself and I just wanted someone to know about this. Thanks for taking the time to read this <3

Thank you for sharing 😊🌷💮🌸

Hi, what mg of metformin did you begin with? x

Incredibly helpful as i am starting to think of my portfolio now! Thanks you :)

Im from india im doing bjmc but want to fashion journalism as master can you suggest me some good universities in abroad

You got your period because you didn’t eat for long hours of the day which is healthy, so long as you eat a generous portion of food during the hours you eat. So I don’t think “starving” was necessarily bad for you. Some people lose periods when they’re skinny and starving themselves because their body needs food. Your body had enough fat storage to for it to not become unhealthy for you to “starve” This bring me onto how I lost weight by “starving” (intermittent fasting) I have PCOS and I’ve lost weight and reduced unwanted hair growth by doing intermittent fasting. We have microbes in our gut that cleans your digestive system when we don’t eat for 12-16 hours. The longer the better. If you’re constantly grazing the microbes don’t get a chance to start cleaning. Think of it as a cleaning crew, they can only clean the mess when no one is in their way. These microbes clean out any bacteria that can cause diseases and illnesses. Health starts from your gut. We don’t need to eat so much. If you give yourself a window to eat, you’ll be full and satisfied with the few hours you give yourself to eat. You want to aim to eat healthy food for at least 6 days a week. Have as much Protein during your eating window to fuel your muscles, reduce your carbs but not eliminate( half a cup of rice, half a cup of pasta) Have lentils, a big plateful with salad. And a good portion of vegetables along with yoghurt and fruits. You can literally have 2 to 3 meals within your eating window. Keep your 6 days as nutritional as possible. But one day a week allow yourself to eat whatever you want, but has to be within the window hour. So my husband and I pig out on fried take out for the one day a week. If there’s a day where you want to eat out with a friend for breakfast and dinner then go for it, don’t restrict yourself from the enjoyment of food. But don’t do this regularly, do it that one day and go back to intermittent fasting. You can drink coffee and water on an empty stomach, coffee for energy and water to clean out your system. You’ll see eventually you’ll have energy as long as you eat healthy and wont need coffee for energy. Along with intermittent fasting you have to do steps, even if it’s on the spot while you watch your favourite series. Aim to do 10+k steps. While you’re on an empty stomach walking will burn fat. That’s how I’ve lost weight and reduced the unwanted hair, if anyone would like more info then let me know and I’ll try to help.

Did you experience spotting within the first week? I’ve been on it for a week now and i had spotting the other day and idk I’m a bit scared of continuing with it. I got prescribed the 500mg but take it with my meals 2-3 times. I was also constipated for so long this week but today I got better. how were your symptoms in the first week? And did you also avoid gluten? 🤍 I’m thinking of avoiding dairy as well since it helped with symptoms before but not weight loss

Congrats! On your weight loss and getting your period back 🤍 I’m scared of taking metformin as I only used inositol and it did help with my period regulation but the weight just keeps going up even with watching my food and working out. How bad were the side effects at first? And were you counting your calories while taking it in the first 2-3 months? 🤍

Hey can u pls tell what is ur period status now ? Aftr losing weight

Are you Gujarati sis

Yes more updates ! I lost weight under the guidance of a nutritionist ( calorie deficit) weight training and 2000mg metformin plus inositols … whew! And now my weight is stuck at 80 for 4 weeks . Started at 96!

Hey! Thank you for sharing your journey, its good to see that I'm not alone in this. I've got PCOS too and just started metformin a week ago, just wondering if you are still taking it? My doctor prescribed it to me for 3 months and I'm wondering about the next steps after the 3 month line.

Hi! Thanks for the video! It would be helpful if you could tell me how many mg of Metformin you were prescribed. Do you recall the amount?
