My PCOS Journey! Hair Loss, Acne, Weight Loss, Hospitalized 🥺& New Lifestyle | Laurasia Andrea PCOS

[@Profalssional]

I’ve been diagnosed with pcos last year. I cut out sugar (added sugars) and bread. I ate a lottt of Salmon, green veggies such as spinach, sweet and red potatoes, cinnamon, chia seeds, almond milk. I didn’t eat red meat either. I lost weight with no issue down to my high school weight. My stomach was flat and on fleek! I felt really good and energetic. My menstrual cycle started to come every month consistently, I began to ovulate and TMI but I’ve been very juicy which I liked a lot! I started to eat bread and processed foods again :( and realized my healthy diet was healing me. I’m working on sticking to this new diet , just can’t eat the same anymore. Far as my hair, my hair was shedding like crazy!!! What has helped is keeping it moisturized! The minute it dries out I spray it with water and seal it. Mane & Tail has helped to thicken my hair up. Just have to stick to the regimen. I have hope for us! God made herbs and they are somewhere to help us reverse the disease.

[@LaurasiaAndrea]

Thanks so much for the tips love ❤️

[@Allthingscristal]

Gworl, I’ve been dealing with pcos for the past 9 years, period are super irregular, bleeding for months and the hormonal changes are insane. No one knows what it feels like to not have control over your own body if you don’t have this. I appreciate this video and see someone else with this. Ive been struggling with weight loss and postpartum and its nice to see someone on a social platform to go through human tings lol. Ive been on birth control for the past 10 years on and off 🙃. Im glad to see a video on someones else prospective on pcos. Glad to hear you are getting better ❤️‍🩹 🙏🏻

[@LaurasiaAndrea]

Awww yes girla we have to stick together and spread awareness. Like it’s hard being a woman 🥲 and then going through something like pcos because it’s unpredictable on who can have it and the symptoms vary per person. It sucks.

Im sorry that you have super long periods. I actually have irregular periods. I barely get them and when I do it's for one day. It doesn't sound that bad but I can never relate to other women when it comes to periods because I never have truly experienced one. I also have a beard so I just feel like a man sometimes.

I was diagnosed with PCOS at 20 years old, but I suspected I had at a younger age when I had very painful and heavy periods/cramping (did extensive research on my own). I’m now 27, and man has it been quite the journey. Initially what led to me seeking medical expertise/ diagnosis was at the age of 18 did not have a period for an entire year . I was scared out of my mind! I was put on birth control which ultimately made some of my PCOS symptoms worse, but it helped clear my acne. I stopped taken the birth control because it was just too much for my body to take even with adjusting or switching to different birth controls . Within 3 months I gained weight drastically and was constantly weak and tired (I did not have the best diet). I was in and out of the hospital. I began experiencing hot flashes or some months I was experiencing some pregnancy symptoms. God it was a nightmare . I remember the many days and night I cried and was angry or depressed. At this time I only had like 3 chin hairs (named them curly, wurly, and spunk), but as the years went by it turned into a full bread and few hairs on my cheek and mustache. It was heart wrenching looking into the mirror. In fact, I would try to avoid looking at myself for awhile because I was in disbelief. From there, my weight would fluctuate up and down (weight mostly going to my breast and stomach). It did not matter what I ate. Once, I got out of my funk I had started to do more research on how to take care of myself naturally (did not want to do birth control nor the diabetic medication). I just kept diving deeper and deeper into my research! I was determined to get it under control. Ovasitol , reservatrol(naturally found in grapes), berberine,Zinc, and etc are some of the things I’ve used to get it under control. I also started working out more( leg workouts especially as I’ve read it helps) . I also switched to a vegan diet at first but I had learned I had to be extremely careful with what I ate because the process vegan food had adverse effects. Now I just strive to eat more healthier. I am more of a pescatarian now. Saw palmetto, fenugreek, maca, chaste berry,black cohosh. And etc has helped me tremendously as well. I have been able to maintain a health wait for the most part although I’m still trying to figure out how to get rid of these breast lol (went from a D and now a damn H). I’ve been considering getting a breast reduction when time permits itself. I’ve been able to get my stomach back to being flat although it’s been a challenge with trying to get my abs back. Honestly, I would not be in the state of mind/being with out the support from my fiancé. He has been here since I was first diagnosed, and I honestly would not have been able to do this without him. I had open up about it to my family and tried to educate them, but all they did was make jokes about me becoming a man or said I was cursed by god.. which did not help with my depression/suicidal at all.. It made me hate myself at certain point in time, but my fiancé constantly reminded that I was beautiful with a beautiful soul and that we would get through this and I will get through this. I eventually was able to accept what was happening. Now I’ve been able to help others with PCOS and help them along the way with their research. I’ve dedicated a whole Pinterest board on the subject with a lot of my research. I’ve though about maybe doing a podcast ( I would do KZbin but I’m camera shy Ahahaha). My fiancé and I have been talking about kids so I’ve been doing more research and listening to other people’s PCOS pregnancy journey. In hopes of starting mine in the near distant future . Right now, I haven’t had a period for about 4 months which is worrying me a bit, but im still trying to get my diet in order which may be the cause and stress as well! Ladies stress plays a big role as well!! I’ve joined many PCOS forums to talk to others as well as just talking to love ones who truly care which helped tremendously with keeping my stress at a minimum. I’m so glad that we are able to find and have these safe spaces because there isn’t a one cure all for this, and I rejoice to hear stories of other cysters getting pregnant or reversing their PCOS (yes, it is possible! I’ve done tremendously amount of research and ladies have reversed it with raw plant based diets, high grape in-take, etc). I would not say it’s incurable, but the research hasn’t been done yet to do so! With all that being said Laurasia and all the other cysters in the world, you all are beautiful, strong, and courageous! This body is just a vessel, and our illness does not define us! P.S I never read anything about PCOS being defined as us being transgender and I can’t believe people are so cruel to do such a thing and that is upsetting . That misinformation needs to be addressed and corrected immediately. We already go through enough!

[@0_as1s]

I honestly didn't know so many people were dealing with PCOS. It's definitely been a struggle for me aswell. I found out my last year of college. However It seems getting closer to 30 (currently 29) I started getting these similar symptoms minus the low hemoglobin. Tips I would say have been helping recently is eating better. Driking about 2cups of spearmint tea a day (help with estrogen).Herbal teas have been a God send look into some thay can work for different things like stress relief etc.Taking Myo & D -Chiro Inositol + Vitex Berry vitamins to balance hormones and get a regular period. Reducing sugar intake and stress (it makes me bleed heavier and for longer periods of time). Aslo see a therapist aswell as joining a community of loving women. Mine if through my church. I will say having a community really helped with the sadness/depression. I feel like this happens since pcos is also hormonal so it bring severe mood swings. Atleast for me. Sorry for the book of a comment but I hope this helps someone.

Hey Cyster, We must dig deeper into our vitamins especially minerals. From some research I’ve done, us suffering with PCOS are vitamin D and Zinc deficient. It’s really a lifestyle change from what we eat AND environmentally what we’re around. It sucks but we got this!!

[@LaurasiaAndrea]

A lot of people are suggesting a endocrinologist. I’ve never even heard of that until now lol so that’s my next step

[@BBBBumble]

@@LaurasiaAndrea yes, an Endo Dr should be able to help guide you. And as said above natural remedies definitely helped me. Please find a couple of stress relievers. for me, stress triggered me to what I call a flare-up and this is when the cyst grew and would burst or leak keep researching and learning the more you know and understand the more you will find what works for you. An herbal lifestyle helped with lighter/cleaner flow and less pain. Also, watch anything that could have hormones in it. Plastic, food, cleaning products, body products. 🙏🏾❤️ You’re an awesome individual sending love and light your way.

[@michellewilliams1947]

@@BBBBumble this is good advice: Identifying and mitigating triggers! From what I've heard, Functional Medicine specialists can help find triggers and root causes.

I didn't do anything about it because this was my norm. I only went to the ER because I woke up light headed and afraid to walk for long periods of time because I thought I would collapse. They checked my hemoglobin too and it was fine but they had to stop the bleeding. I had a transvaginal ultrasound this year and bloodwork. I don't have cysts on my ovaries but I do have higher levels of testosterone in my blood. I tried 4 different birth control meds and they all worsened my pre-existing depression.

I also have PCOS… it was years before they figured it out in early 2021 using the same tests. I also had the extremely heavy period that doesn’t stop.. got scared when I messed up my clothes on the way to work within 15 mins of leaving the house and went to the doctor..they told me I was anemic… In 2019-2020 it slowed down but never stopped first few months then started skipping months and then the thicker hair on spots on my chin..I did also gain weight and have problems losing it. Please be careful with the the anemia part… I also had the blood count situation, by the time the doc called me to go to the doctor I had already had incidents fainting on the train. Find the best way to consume your iron- for me it’s canned tuna, liquid iron. Intermittent fasting also helps. I haven’t had the hair loss but I’ve had major depression. I’m slowly understanding it and l’m less depressed.

[@heyitsandyy7687]

Natural / other remedies for me - reduce meat intakes (red meat) - I eat mostly seafood and chicken, red meat only when I crave it. Limit carbs/ sweat- but I struggle because I love sweets and rice. I learnt not to deprive myself as it can trigger depression.. so I have when I crave it and tomorrow is a new day. …intermittent fast- I eat between 12-7. Also, I’m Caribbean- I’m researching teas/ herbs for insulin resistance, boiling those with cinnamon sticks like Dr. Sebi lol. Contraceptives for regulation. Lazer hair removal- was hairless for like a month lol.. then they came back. (Did 10 sessions)..Most importantly don’t give in to the depression.. the hormones make you crazy, but everyday is a new day to try again. For me I was advised I may have fertility issues. Hopefully I be able to have just one child when I’m ready. One is enough for me.

Thanks for responding!🤗 I had my cysts removed in December of 2020 and my menstrual did improve greatly,but covid after having covid my periods can rotate between heavy,and very light. I'm now on a journey of weight loss and improving my skin(it's good and clear,but could be better bin my eyes). Also,trying to keep up my health when medical professionals won't listen.

@@MEMYSELFAND3 honestly I like to keep my “pain” to my partner and myself. It’s almost like if I don’t think it it’s not true. I just push through it. But I think I just like to keep my health private. Less opinions and people judging. They wanna say “damn Laurasia gained weight” my response is yep I did and still am beautiful 🥰

[@MEMYSELFAND3]

@@LaurasiaAndrea You hit this out the park. I mostly keep it to myself,or I'll tell my closest friend. No hard feelings towards my mother but I guess she just comes from a generation of people having to be skinny or a "moderate weight". She made a comment about my weight today,and honestly it hurt my feelings. She knows I'm going through something. I'm not overly obese,but I could shake off a few pounds. I'm comfortable with myself,but also in the back of my mind know I can and will get the extra pounds gone in a reasonable time. Weight gain for anyone is a rocky road to travel when others don't look like you. Happy you're sharing this journey! You're doing it from a honest place and that's a good thing for you,and others looking for a relatable person.

Thank you for this video. I have had PCOS since my early twenties and I'm now in my late thirties. I have had multiple miscarriages and weight loss is a "what's that sis?" I went from having a period to not having them to having them twice a month. The doctor put me on birth control but that didn't work because I wanted to get pregnant. Then we went to metiformin, which worked a little while. Now I'm have been diagnosed with COPD which is something makes it harder. Foods and light exercise help. Thank you for having a voice about this

We as women go through so much I share it's not easy being a female 😂. I personally have dealt with heavy periods and once I remember have my period for like to weeks and my flow was so heavy I literally hit the pantic botton. To make a long story I talk to my aunt on my mom side of the family and she was telling me that my mother had heavy period and irregular periods. Now I know why I been having heavy periods it not regular. I'm glad to know you are feeling better and you are getting back to yourself. God bless you and your family ❤️🥰

When I turned 33 years old I had to have a complete hysterectomy because of fibroids (which is a hormone imbalance) and I remember the long (months straight) and super heavy menstrual cycles and anemia my doctor told me if I didn’t have a hysterectomy I would slowly hemorrhage.

PCOS is something WOMEN deal with, not men who think theyre women. You need a uterus to have PCOS. Ive been dealing with this since puberty and was diagnosed 9 years ago. Its so hard to deal with and even harder to describe

[@CarrieM]

I'm upset about that 1st hospital visit. My balding spots are on my edges. I too suffer with PCOS and I'm currently on a TTC journey, just shared my story today, I was shocked to see you're going through it too. I'm so proud of u for sharing your story!!! Those eating habits, oooo weee, it's tough but u look amazing! The good news is once you get your hormone levels in order the symptoms subside. The weight loss, exercise and food changes helped me, the medicines all made me sick. You're definitely not alone,

I’m 32 and was just diagnosed with PCOS! I’ve known something was going on because my hair has been falling out in clumps. To the point I wasn’t seeing hair growth for 5 years. I went natural, that didn’t work… I then went back to being relaxed because I figure it was in my hair management… that didn’t work. I was diagnosed this year and it all makes sense but then it doesn’t… I’m trying to navigate loosing my beautiful hair on my head but growing it everywhere else. I literally have no one to talk to about it. It’s terrible

Which was a big change for me. Got hormonal cancer at 30, i had some of your symptom but the pain i went through charged it to endometriosis, you are in my prayers. Sincerely Priscilla Oden

I'm struggling with PCOS since 2015 my first time ever in Hospital in my life. Weight gain and little weight loss. My old doctor told me to stop eating sugar, cake and soda. When I told her I didn't eat those things and still concerned on how I gained 60lbs, she told me I was lying. I was bleeding for months, enlarged breast, facial hair, fatigue, acne and so much more. I've always complained about these things but doctors gave me every excuse. It became worse and I noticed the extreme fatigue. My new doctor had me examined and Dx with PCOS. NOW I'm noticing changes in my disabled mentally challenged sister that I take care of. Having a phlebotomist come out to the house to take a blood on her. I praying for everyone dealing with this. Ladies get checked!

[@nikkipoo337]

I’ve been dealing with pcos for over 20 years. All the symptoms you’ve experienced, I did as well at your age. As I’ve gotten older the only thing that seem to go back to normal as I aged is my cycle. The facial hair was unbearable!! If you are looking into hair removal options I highly suggest electrolysis instead of laser treatment as that is permanent hair removal for someone suffering from pcos. That’s what I did. We have similar hair texture and yes my hair was thinning like crazy but tbh I’ve been a vivid hair weave wearer for yearrrrsss and I rock short hair cuts. I didn’t experience acne issues. My doctor back then suggested medication which has always been a problem for me as I’m just as scared of medication than I am a diagnosis lol. So I opted out. I maintain a healthy lifestyle and I faithfully detox naturally between the changing of seasons. I want to thank you personally for sharing your experience with us. You are not alone sis.

I know this an older video but it’s so helpful 😩 I’m 28 & just found out at the end of April about my pcos , i have 2 out of the 3 symptoms which is chin hair & irregular periods .. i never bled long but the periods come whenever it wants , the longest i went was 8 months then boom it will come on 😭 & it doesn’t be painful or heavy . My doctor didn’t push birth control on me she suggested it tho but i decline until further notice . She prescribed me povera so i have period because i didn’t have one since October 2023 😭 mind you all last year my cycle was regular 🙄 the povera brought it on it was normal cramps were crazyyyy . I went for an ultrasound & everything was great , no cysts , uterine lining was normal which i was worried about because i didn’t have a period for months . I been fasting lost 30lbs i don’t see a difference but other people do .. i just need to be better with dieting and excersing im just glad i found out about my pcos .

For PCOS, the only real way to deal with all of the symptoms, is lifestyle change. Sugar is the enemy. Eat whole foods, exercise, and be sure to avoid sugar. Sugar means processed carbs like sodas, pastries, pasta, breads, etc. My doctor also put me on Metformin and Spironolactone. Those helped with hair loss and acne. I wish all of you well in this journey. It is not an easy one.

Hi!! I have PCOS! Go to a endocrinologist so they can figure out the cause of it because different things can cause PCOS! I went to multiple different OBGYNs and they just prescribed birth control, I’ve had a laparoscopy as well! There’s different medications for PCOS outside of birth control and the endocrinologist can pin point the best one for you as well as what’s the root cause❤️
