Pcos girls tips and advise

I need tips and advise on how to manage a healthy life style! I was diagnosed with pcos this year a few months after I had my son which was very much of a shock for me as I never even thought of knew I had it !? I’ve always had regular periods even after having my son but by time January come they started to become slightly delayed but I will still having them up until now! I’m doing everything to help regulate them such as taking hormone balancing vitamins eating a healthy diet and exercising daily but still no period .. generally feel like all my efforts are just pointless at this point😫

I have pcos, I went over 8 months without a period. I went to the doctor and told me I most likely just need to lose weight. They recomended the Keto diet. I did it for 2 months, lost 15-20 pounds and got my period back. But not sure how regular they are because I got pregnant right after the first period I got back. And now I’m on birth control.

I’ve had pcos over 8 years now & I start taking vit d, nac, lcarnitine, inistol as well conceive plus bundles- I also drink lemon water in morn- lost a lot of weights and feel my symptom are so controlled compared to before.

Go see a reproductive endocrinologist. They are probably the best medical professionals to help you treat pcos OBs usually push BC which masks problems. Or try a naturopath.

I have pcos and most of the women in my family do. My periods had always been irregular since I started at the age of 11 up until the age of 22 when I switched to a vegan diet. I tried different pills, went to doctors, did a bunch of tests, scans honestly it was all a waste of time. I found managing my stress levels, limiting caffeine and alcohol and then cutting meat and dairy out of my diet the only solution to fixing any problems I was having. I also try to avoid gluten the week before my period as it makes the inflammation worse. Now my periods are regular and light, not very painful and I've had no issues with fertility or pregnancy either. If you had your son fairly recently your hormones will still be changing and trying to balance themselves so try to be patient ❤️

I have pcos, I went about 5 years without getting a period, I tried absolutly everything out there. My Dr however prescribed me one course of pills and it brought my periods back on, I cannot remember for the love of me what they're called again

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 🤷‍♀️

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

Ovulation test

Please please someone clarify if this test is positive. Im pretty sure it is but Im in disbelief at the minute I haven’t ovulated in 8 months. I feel like crying lol. When is the best time to have sex?
