My cousin with PCOS lost hair, but I honestly think it was more the stress of being married to a controlling maniac abuser... it stopped thinning after she divorced him and moved across the country. She and I still regularly converse about our beard hairs.
My cousin who tried artificial insemination also said it was all kinds of torture.
I have periods (of time, not menstrual) where I over-indulge the sweets and starches. I don't know how much it affects my cycle (which can be pretty mean but not quite PCOS status), but I will get super greasy and my scalp will get itchy and oily. It comes on quick and I have to ditch the goodies for a while. The resulting scalp scabs I get to pick afterwards are the only up-side to the reaction.
Depending on the person, hair loss can also be part of it + additional stress. PCOS should stay away frok stressful situations as it's just makes the things worst.
My period cycle disappeared in my 20s (when I found out PCOS) for about 3 years.... That was pure hormonal torture... Cysts are being fed with sugar, what can get you in the worst condition....
Artificial insemination is NO way, my friend had it, I've spent whole time with her and that is a nightmare, torture for body, mind and everyone around, first time failed and she was three months pregnant - devastating.
Luckily she was persistent and now they are having gorgeous twins, but I'm still not for it, too much suspense...
I'm a very cysty person. Mine really like lactose, and if I eat too much milk stuff I break out in crazy cystic acne all over my back and butt and sometimes other places and it looks like I got attacked by wasps. But sugar in general makes everything hurt. Last few days I was wondering why my body felt so abnormally inflamed and then I remembered all the candy and sweets I've been eating like it's the holidays again. Spring fever maybe. Sugar substitutes for not having a boing-boing buddy.
When my cousin was doing the IVF she was constantly spouting out information that seemed like complex mathematical equations having to do with when to go on and off birth control and harvest eggs etc. She and her husband have one kid and want another, but her body doesn't seem interested in pregnancy. She knows so much about her endocrine system at this point she could be given a license to practice as a specialist.
This is my first week without processed sugar, my tummy is flatten again and no it's not weight loss. Why don't you try goat milk? It contains less fat and it's very healthy for lungs and skin.
I hear ya, no good, no no....
I found IVF as torture, forcing, so no, I'm not selfish neither way - nor to have, nor not to have, if mother nature reward me wohoo, if not those needles won't get closer to my already tanned skin.
I used to drink goat milk. Maybe I'll try it again. It is good in coffee. It's just crazy expensive. We only have one brand here.
Yeah, the one good thing about a sugar binge (besides the yummy junkie bender) is the almost immediate gratification after kicking it and getting un-puffy.
Can't you find some local farm there? I don't like goat milk neither sheep's (it stinks)... 🤢
Only cows for me or plant based (which is overpriced here)
Here everything is overpriced! Local farms would probably be even more expensive, alas.
I like to mix my supposedly-non-gmo soy milk with heavy cream... it's just coffee, so usually only one indulgence a day. Am gonna get goat milk next time though. For fun. I like the stink.
Really? Here is on contrary, local farms are lot cheaper than current market shelves 😱but that's probably cause we are slowly running out of them.
You weirdo 😭
