Question For Those With Pcos Posted: 04-07-06 16:53pm
I have been reading up on pcos lately.
My biggest question is, can someone have
pcos and not have irregular periods? The
reason I ask is that, despite exercise in
the last year I have gained 40 lbs and
climbing. I can't seem to make it stop.
The weight seems to be collecting around
my waist and my hips. I have always had
a very small waist and average hips, until
now. I have been very moody for about
five months. I chalked this up to
stress. I have been off of bc since
september and have yet to get pregnant.
My next question is, with pcos would a
home opks say you are ovulating? I have
taken them for two months and it says I
ovulate each month. My periods are
anywhere from 28 - 31 days between. I
have an appointment to get a yearly
physical and get checked out on the 12th
and wanted to know if I should ask about
this condition. Please, anyone who has
this please let me know if I am barking up
the wrong tree. I know that each of us
wants to know what is wrong with us that
we can not conceive. We all want to know
if isn't our fault, but I am really
concerned. Thanks.

Hypothyroidism can cause weight gain, and
I do believe that you can gain weight from
stopping your birthcontrol, I dunno bout
that part though, hypothyroidism causes
weightgain, hairloss, depression, etc.
Etc.. Ya can look it up online to see,
maybe that is what is going on :d I dunno
that either, just a suggestion!

Hi hopefullin,
have you been diagnoise to have pocs. For
most pcos, we don't have regular period
and maybe home ov kit may not work cos we
have absolutely no idea when is our ov.
Period cycle can be 40 over days and you
may like to take a hormons test.
I put on weight like nobody business even
when I am not eating. In the past I
thought I was greedy and find means and
ways to diet. I have been ttcing for 3
years and only last year that I found that
I have pcos. I am on clomid now.
Baby dust and good luck

Pcos is polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Thanks for all of your replies. I
believe that I am ovulating and have
regualar periods. Just wanted to know if
there could be some other explaination for
this all. I will check out the thyroid
thing though as that does run in the
family on my mother's side I guess.
Thanks again for the thoughts.

One of the biggest symptoms of pcos is
very irregular periods and weight
problems. Your best bet if you are
trying to conceive is to find a fertility
specialist who has experience with pcos.
There are medications and dieting
procedures than can help minimize the
impact that pcos will have on conception
