You can go to the doctors and they’ll give you a blood test and ultrasound. Ibuprofen and exercise can help with pain

thank yoy

Get diagnosed first with a vaginal ultrasound at your Gynecologist. And they may have some kind of treatment 🙄 but I know many people who do acupuncture weekly to reverse it. I think the average to reverse it with weekly acupuncture treatments is 3-3.5 months.

Not too long to wait and it’s better than experimenting with their standardized pill options and potentially told a bunch of negative stuff regarding conception….because western medicine hasn’t updated their methodology.

It’s not incurable and doesn’t always necessitate surgery!

I personally don’t have it but a few friends do. They had to get diagnosed, but one has been tying to change her diet and be more aware of certain ingredients that go into her body, they seem to be working for her!! I’ve seen pcos “recipes” on TikTok before that people talk about it. Obviously take TikTok advice with grain of salt but I’m sure it would would be a good starting point

I personally haven’t tried it but there’s a new thing that’s like heated spandex could help🤷‍♀️ I know a few people with pcos but unfortunately don’t know a lot about it or advice☹️ I’ve heard what you eat can have an impact too honestly if you’re into TIKTOK look it up and could probably find a creator with it that shares tips and stuff. That’s my favorite thing to do for advice with different things I suffer from.

@Tara yuh I'm constantly having pains and they just say to take some birth control which makes me feel horrible

I should look into that thank you!

there’s 100% ways around birth control with PCOS. BC is more a bandaid not a solution now that I’ve see. My friends try to navigate it, they had to find doctors/OBs who were willing to help without birth control being the end all be all.

Baby #2??

I really want baby number 2 and am thinking of doing it via IUI as a solo mama!
Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Help pls

I'm 7 weeks pp. Not had sex or even done anything but my tests have come back positive. I wouldnt test but had symptoms of pregnancy so I tested. What does this mean? Google says it should have been negative at this stage unless its a new pregnancy or bits of placenta has been left behind. I had a c section so 🤷‍♀️
