any girls here have pcos? I have been experiencing hair loss, brittle nails, weight gain, weird hair growing places, and fatigue for an about a year now after stopping my birth control. I am really scared and i would love some guidance

yes!!! please see a doctor, obgyn and/or endocrinologist. it may just be a hormonal imbalance from stopping your BC. if it us pcos, know pcos is a common chronic illness that can be managed with diet, medication, and supplements. things get a lot less scary when you understand what is going on with your body and why

Please seen a Dr. something like an estrogen patch might help certain BC can help. Laser for hair, it doesn’t get rid of it entirely and never will but it can help. Dory plays a large role. Take an iron supplement or a multivitamin to help with the fatigue. I was told I had PCOS from age 12 onward and only this year was I told it’s not PCOS it’s endo. So I sorta get it lol. Was an imposter for years I guess

I do!! It’s honestly such a struggle :( I’ve found that lifting weights (not necessarily for weight loss) really helps, especially when I focus on heavier lower-body workouts and giving yourself grace if you can’t do as much and remember sooo many others have this so you aren’t alone 🖤

Please for the love of God go talk to your OBGYN about all those things you listed not the internet. This is nothing to be scared about. Your hormones are just so over the place needing regulation

And if you're scared that should give you a violent shove into seeing a Dr

I said what I had to say about it. I'm worried about by reply. Minding my own business in my reply. It would be great if you learned how to stay in your lane worrying about your replies unless you're the OP. Or someone rings your buzzer speaking to you
