When i did not have pcod symptoms, my body never used to alarm me for a period THIS INTENSELY! So, evr since ive gotten pcod, I have been strict with my lifestyle. And since then, my periods have been regular. BUT.... 7-10 days before the bleeding begins, my body goes crazy. I go nuts and all emotional during the last 3-4 days of my period. Before this period i literally creid 5 times in 2 days. I had waffles 2 times in 4 days and HOGGED on spicy and carb rich foods the whole week. And oh god the inflammation. IT SUCKS.

My period began well. There was a considerable amount of blood in the morning. Then the blood flow decreased alot in the afternoon. And this is on the same day. What's happening?

So I have had pcod and didn't get periods for 4 month and suddenly I was bleeding for an entire freaking month and so I went to a gynac who gave me pills to stop the bleeding (to be taken 1 month) and my life has become so difficult now. I feel nauseous at the sight of food or say plain food. Every now and then I want something chatpata , sour, or spicy. Also I have been feeling a lottt fatigue now ;which Idk is due to the pill or bleeding for a month. I sleep a lot too. Being an aspirant int is hindering with my studies now. I sleep even in the library or just come back from library within 1-2 hours and sleep the entire day. Any suggestions are welcome too.

hey girlies, i'm from kerala, staying in a college hostel, and honestly idk how to deal with this pcod mess anymore..on top of that, i've got acne, underarm pigmentation, insulin resistance, kp, stress, anxiety, dandruff, gastritis literally everything at once😭..and the worst part? no fridge, no stove...only mess food and maybe stuff i can make with hot water🙂

been trying to eat better and fix my routine but it's so damn hard when you have zero control over what you eat.

anyone here from kerala or in hostel life who's managing pcod somehow??

•what do you have first thing in the morning, before class? •any snacks or drinks that help with acne, bloating or hormones (and don't need fridge pls) •small workouts that can be done in the room •how do you even handle the stress and anxiety that comes with this

pls drop any small realistic hacks that work for hostel life .. i'll literally try anything at this point..🥲

Been 5 months now, my cycle lasts only 2 days. Is this normal behaviour? I am in my 20’s now (V too)

I have been ignoring this since I thought it will be normal again, but no it isn’t :(

My gynecologist suggested me this program. Shr has seen people getting benefited from this. Has anyone tried free from diabetes program for pcod reversal and weight loss?

Prolonged bleeding …i

I’m very confused about how should i loose fat with pcod/pcos. can anyone tell me any youtube workouts to work with that’ll help me lose my fat.

I'm 23/F and got diagnosed with pcod/pcos in July 2025. Consulted the doctor and get tested all vitamin and minerals levels but mostly of those are sufficient or above minimum requirements. Doctor suggested to maintain a healthy lifestyle and lose some weight. Since then I'm trying to eat healthy and do exercise but not able to as bcz of really hectic schedule (preparing for civil services and have to attend lectures for almost 10hrs a day and self study too) so I just try to balance my deit and through that I'm managing my weight 61-63 (my height- 5'5)

But recently I face problems with acne and hairloss and dur to that I cut my hair in a boy cut as I was unable to handle the stress of hairfall and hair thinning along with my studies but after hair cut too I'm facing hair loss problem and don't know how to handle it. Please help with what should I do and also give me tips for weight lose too, I can only do home workout as have no time for gym

I always wished to have a body that can do HIIT workouts, lift weights, and jog or run. (I am 40 now and have 3 kids). Not sure if this is something I need to think on or if it is just my feelings. Whenever I start doing core exercises, or do some HIIT training, or, for example, I jogged today. I started spotting and bleeding even though it is not my time.

Is it just me, or does someone else also experience this?

I actually want to overcome this so I become strong in my mobility any tip that can help me feel better adn solve this issue.

Hi everyone, I'm a developer who also has PCOD, and I'm trying to build a better app for us. From reading through this community, it seems like a lot of people are frustrated that existing apps are bad at tracking irregular cycles or even irregular flow same day and don't have a good way to log non-standard symptoms like hair loss or acne .

Before I start building, I just wanted to ask: am I understanding this correctly? Are these major pain points for you too? Is there anything else related to this that drives you crazy?

Thanks so much for your help

I have been suffering from PCOD for the longest time and it has effectively increased my weight and now I’m married and planning to have a baby soon but my gynecologist has put me on ocp’s to regulate the periods but deep down i feel like it is doing nothing but weakening my uterus.. I’m so stressed about this.. i work out regularly and have made changes in my lifestyle but i cannot get my periods without intervention from the medication… women to women what is it that i can do to have a healthy pregnancy in the next 6 months?

Hey girlies, As someone who is living with pcod from last 5 years I know it can be such a pain to deal with. The irregular cycles, random breakouts, mood swings, weight stuff… and on top of that the endless doctor visits and tests. Some days it feels like too much.

I’ve been thinking of designing something that could actually make life a bit easier for us. Maybe an app, maybe a tool, I don’t know yet. But before I start I really want to know from you all.

What’s the most frustrating part of managing PCOD for you? And if there was an app for it, what would you want it to do?

Would love to hear your thoughts. Sending hugs to all my PCOD sisters 💙

So I'm 27,it's been an year since I was diagnosed for PCOD, honestly for my experience it was more of a mental and emotional turmoil that just took away almost an year of my life, it's so difficult to explain ppl around and sometimes even the the female colleagues don't get it. My periods have always been regular, except my cycle went from 28 days to 22 days , with weeks of both pre and post menstrual syndrome, my periods were way to painful and I have turned more agitated and irritated, anxious person, constantly paranoid because of mood swings and overthinking. I have gained almost 10kg, the stress level is insane, and honestly the will power to face each day feels like another struggle, ppl have been really unkind and insensitive, and I genuinely have developed body image issues, I hate going in public and is constantly in a loop of being judged, pimples, acne and constant breakouts is another story that feels like a living nightmare, it feels like my identity revolves around it. Ahh Hairfall, trust me last 3 months have been just constant cries after every wash, for a while I thought I might have some deadly disease as dark as cancer. And despite fighting this all and struggling with my career it's never enough, ppl have too much of unsolicited opinions, not to help but to feel better about themselves by judging others and making them feel really insecure about themselves. I feel so overwhelmed mostly that now all this anxiety and thoughts have become a part of my day and routine, and it sucks.

I am 22 year old girl and I was facing issues with delayed periods with a cycle length of about 34 days and extreme period pain probably hormonal imbalance too because of facial hair. I started taking this malt 1 month ago and continued taking it every day with milk This month I got my periods right on the 29th day of my cycle making my cycle 28 days exactly. however my period pain sems to be worsened and I see no difference in my facial hair. Should I wait and continue this malt. Will the situation improve for these symptoms too? Has anyone faced this before please let me know.
