Comments on Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

I am suffering from PCOD since I was 15 years. I have been taking 'krimpson 35' medicine as prescribed by the doctor. Its been 5 years and I have to take the medicine daily for getting my periods regular. Will I be dependent on medicine all through my life? Does it have any side effect?

I've been dealing with this for over 15 yrs, and yes, you can have kids-I have 2. If you get hold of a GP who won't take it seriously, find another one. I use is 1500mg daily Metformin, 2 iron supplements [Metformin can make you have mal-absorption] daily and a b12 shot monthly, (metformin stops b12 absorption in some cases too). After years of struggle with eating disorders that hospitalized me and almost ruined my health and mental well being, I am at normal weight with moderate diet and excerise regimes. the right drug regime is key, don't let them tell you do nothing until you want to be pregnant or prescribe birth control. Take it seriously- it is easily managed but it is a condition.

I've been dealing with this for over 15 yrs, so I can say, even in extremes, yes, you can have kids. I have 2. If you get hold of a GP who won't take it seriously, find another one. the treatment I use is 1500mg daily [1 at meal times] Metformin, 2 iron supplements (Metformin can make you v tired from malabsorption of iron) daily and a b12 shot monthly, (metformin stops b12 absorption in some cases too). these few hiccups have been nothing compared to what I gained. After years of struggle with eating disorders that hospitalized me and almost ruined my health and mental well being, I am able to maintain a normal weight with moderate diet and excerise regimes. the right drug regime is key, don't let them tell you do nothing until you want to be pregnant or prescribe birth control. There are so many things we know now that this can affect, hormones, depression, kidneys, pancreas, heart. Take it seriously- it is easily managed but it is a condition. Best of luck-
