Skinny Cyster?
Hi everyone! I was just diagnosed with PCOS a week ago. I am 5'3 115 lbs and 23 years old! My doctor said I am not the typical looking PCOS patient. The tech that did my ultrasounds exact words were, "I could walk into a grocery store and tell you who has PCOS and who doesn't, but you don't fit that mold." I searched online and most of the sites tell you to loose weight! I don't need to loose weight, I don't have acne, excess hair growth...I don't have any symptoms except my period comes every other month instead of every month. I do have mood swings, but I think that is all in my head since I am so frustrated with the diagnosis...they seem to have started recently! I feel helpless!
My husband and got married one year ago and plan on TTC in about a year. I went of BC about 9 months ago to get it out of my system and we have been using condoms for the last nine months. I am wondering if we even need to use BC if we aren't trying? Can you get pregnant with out fertility drugs with PCOS? I am also wondering if there is ANYTHING I can do to cure PCOS naturally? I do eat pretty healthy and exercise. But I read about vitamins and not eating certain foods. I had my bloodwork done for my blood sugar levels and they were normal. I don't have diabetes either...
Let me know if you have found any answers or good books that don't talk about loosing weight! I don't think there are many of us "Skinny Cysters"
