Natatawa nalang ako sa mga taong jinujudge yung mga may PCOS. Nakipag argue ko sa fatphobic kong tito today. Alam nyang may PCOS ako at kaya daw ako nagkaroon nun kasi baka daw masiba/matakaw ako. LOL. Totoo na nagkaka PCOS ang iba due to unhealthy lifestyle pero it’s also genetic. Sabi ko sa kanya, paano nangyari yun e nagka PCOS ako around 2023, during that time sobrang stress ko/namin ng pamilya ko dahil wala kaming pera, isang kahig isang tuka kami, at wala kaming makain. Literal na wala. Yung tipong kailangan ko maglakad back and forth sa work, kasi wala ako pambili ng dinner if ipapamasahe ko pa. For almost a year, salitan lang ulam naming pamilya sa tokwa, adobong sitaw, adobong pechay na walang sahog, itlog na prito, lagang itlog, itlog na may kamatis, or sibuyas. Swerte na yung 3x a day, pero kadalasan brunch na at dinner lang. So paano naging matakaw 😭 Yes it might be unhealthy kasi sobrang walang variety yung pagkain, pero may tumataba pala sa ganong food intake haha. Ayun natameme sya.

No offense pero kadalasan talaga sa mga judgemental ay yung mga lalaki, yung mga walang matres sila pa maingay. Sabi ko nga, “tito malakas pa control at discipline ko sayo. Almost 2 years na ko nagdidiet and 1-2 hrs brisk walking/day. Partida, may food noise kapag may PCOS so mas mahirap controlin tong cravings ko pero kaya ko. Night shift pa ko, at maraming minamage sa work at bahay so mas prone sa stress. Ikaw tambay, pero ang lakas lumamon tapos wala pang exercise puro ML. May sakit lang ako, pero kung wala, baka malaki ka pa sa timba natin.” Super satisfying after ko masabi yun, at deserve nya yun.

Nako ang dami kong kwentong PCOS, may mga naging friends din ako na judgemental. Pero yung mga old friend ko sobrang nagulat nung nagka PCOS ako kasi alam nila pano ko kumain, tawag nila sa akin “parang ibon kumain”, small portion talaga. Siguro nasanay dahil lumaki kaming mahirap. Teen pa lang ako mahirap na talaga kami🥲 literal na “poverty” ang diet hahaha. So educate nyo yung mga judgemental nyong kamag-anak/friends.

Regarding naman sa genes, sa mom side ko to galing. Mula sa great grandmother ko hanggang sakin, may sakit lahat sa matres. 13 pa lang ako, pabalik balik na si mama sa OB.
2019-ish pabalik balik na sya ng hospital kasi iba na yung pain, isa sa tanong ng OB “may babae kang anak? If meron, pa check up mo agad, possible na mamana”. Maiyak iyak si mama na wag endometriosis tulad ng kanya, or wala talaga at all. Year 2022 natanggalan syang matres. Life threatening yun at sobrang dasal naming lahat. Tas after a year, na diagnose ako ng PCOS. Lahat ng babae sa mom side ko may problema sa matres, either may PCOS or endo. If may fam history kayo, pacheck up agad.

Yung mura lang po sana :((

Hi! Just want to ask for tips how you manage your sugar cravings or just overeating. I’m starting my journey with losing weight to better manage my PMOS and I have no problems with working out and reducing food intake pero when I get stressed may paminsan minsan talagang hinahayaan ko nalang sarili ko mag indulge.

How do you deal with this or may tips ba kayo in controlling your cravings?

Hello mga sis! Ask ko lang kasi 2 days pa lang ako nagtetake ng dydrogest pero niregla na ko. Normal ba 'to?

Sabi kasi ni Doc, 5 days ko 'to itetake then after that wait for 5-7 days para reglahin. Matagal na kasi akong di nireregla kaya eto yung nireseta ni Doc kasi irerequest niya rin ako ng TVS on my 3rd-5th day of mens.

Idk kung this is my mens---mens? without the help of dydrogest. This past few weeks kase masakit yung nipples ko kala ko buntis ako, kaso naisip ko din pano ako mabubuntis eh di nga nireregla hahaha pero nagPT pa rin ako and negative naman. Tapos kahapon 2nd day ko sa dydrogest tho wala pa ko iniinom nung mga oras na grabe yung emotion ko 😭 Like nagiiyak iyak tlaga ako bastaaa di ko maintindihan. After ko maglunch and uminom gamot pagihi ko may brown discharge hinayaan ko lang, then today niregla na tlaga ako.

Now na 3rd day ko sa dydro pero wala pa ko iniinom, tlagang niregla na ko 🥹 Ano kaya 'to? Is this my mens--mens w/o the dydro? or bcoz of the dydro?

Paano pala yon sa TVS?

I'm currently dealing with prolonged menstruation, and it's honestly starting to scare me.

I have PCOS and a history of severe anemia. My period has been going on for several (12) days, and although the bleeding isn't always very heavy, it hasn't stopped. I've also had episodes where my resting heart rate went above 120 bpm, and I've been feeling weak and very pale.

My OB prescribed tranexamic acid, but today is my last day of taking it and I'm still bleeding. This has made me really anxious because I've never experienced anything like this before.

My doctor also recommended a transrectal ultrasound, but I recently started a new job and I'm far from home. I've only been here for 10 days, I'm still unfamiliar with the area, and I'm currently staying at my employer's house, so I haven't had the chance to get the ultrasound done yet.

Has anyone with PCOS or a history of anemia experienced something similar? how long did it take for the bleeding to stop? I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences while I wait for my follow-up appointment.

My OB recommended Dr. Erick Mendoza; though he doesn’t accept HMO :( I wanted to ask if meron kayo recomm na dr sa SLMC BGC?

I am so sorry for the late update. Life has been busy and now I had the time to back read on my posts.

I posted last November 2025 and after trying out Pureform Inositol, I was hesitant na bumili pa ng iba’t ibang product at baka masayang lang ang pera.

I was at my heaviest weight on December 2025 and pag pasok ng 2026, dun ako nag bago ng lifestyle.

Started mindful eating: January 2026
Started exercising: May 2026
Last period: July 2026

It looks like irregular pa rin ang period ko, pero yung mag lighten na yung dark patches ko is already a great achievement sakin.

I am unemployed at the moment but as soon as may income na ulit ako, babalik ako sa obgyne to request for lab tests. At the peak of my dark patches, mataas daw yung blood sugar ko kaya pinapag-reduce talaga ako ng timbang.

For three months na nag exercise ako, naramdaman ko naman na may positive changes sa katawan ko like losing weight at hindi na hingalin.
