when i was diagnosed i refused birth control, but there r some things that have slightly helped. i think its important to mention i have *lean* pcos with IR, its not much different but a little different maintenance wise. my saving grace is spearmint tea twice a day and low sugar !! also walking after a meal to help w the IR.
I’d been on birth control since I was 15 and decided I wanted to get off of it last year and had a normal period up until about 4 months ago when it completely stopped. I had no clue what was going on so made a gyno appointment and explained what was happening and she took blood samples and scheduled me for an ultrasound. She said that my testosterone was high, the ultrasound showed my ovaries slightly larger than normal and with the missed period was all signs pointing to PMOS (thank you #2☺️)
