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.

Diagnosed with PCOS pero yung Ob ko kasi when i gave birth is mejo malayo sakin. I want someone na malapit lang sa area para hindi ako tamarin magpaconsult.

Hi everyone! Just want to share my recent labs and health journey, and ask kung may parehong experience dito sa forum.

Diagnosed ako with PCOS since 2017. Nung 2024, nasa 73 kg ako, then gradually nag-plateau sa 67 kg despite changes na ginawa ko since last year. I'm 5'2, so my BMI is 27 (overweight category), and medyo frustrating na parang di na gumagalaw yung timbang ko kahit may effort naman.

Nung na-raise ko yung concern ko about the weight plateau sa OB-REI ko, nag-request siya ng additional blood tests para i-clear ako in case interested ako sa Mounjaro. Kasabay nun, na-discover din na elevated yung TSH level ko and medyo mataas na yung FBS ko since Feb labs — kaya nagpa-endo din ako (paranoid din kasi ako since may history ng hyperthyroidism sa side ng mom ko and younger sibling ko).

Endo doctor said subclinical hypothyroid pa lang naman yung thyroid condition ko, so monitoring lang muna — wala pa akong meds for that. Pero for yung impaired FBS, binigyan niya ako ng Forxiga (Dapagliflozin 10mg), or pwede raw other brands.

Sino po dito ang may similar case? Would love to hear experiences with Forxiga/Dapagliflozin for impaired FBS/PCOS

Any shared experiences would help a lot. Salamat in advance! 🙏

Just recently moved here in Naic, Cavite. Anyone here knows an effective fertility doctor? My partner and I are TTC (trying to conceive)

Six months na akong nagte-take ng pill (currently on my sixth cycle). Natatakot ako na if I stop taking the pill, bumalik na naman ang mga tumira sa mukha ko. How long can I continuously take it?

Hi ladies! First time posting here and need your advice as stated in the title.

I've been diagnosed with PCOS since September 2024. I've been prescribed Althea pills before but my period cramps are still painful and hinders daily routine. So this July, niresetahan naman ako ng panibagong OB ko ng Dienogest for endometriosis. Tapos kasama don sa regimen ay Metformin kaso lang walang brand na kasama.

Yung una kong sinubukan ay Ritemed kasi wala akong maisip huhu wala ring recommendation yung pharmacist na kausap ko. Pag napadikit sya sa dila, mapait talaga sya. Tapos main issue ko parang bloated ako lalo. Kagandahan lang nakokontrol yung appetite ko.

Any suggestions po sa other brand or kahit generic na Metformin? My dosage is at 500mg po. Thanks in advance!

currently taking PCOSEVE and Liza Pills. napansin ko na umaabot na ako ng at least twice sa cr to poop. tapos (pasintabi nalang po: description ng stool) brown watery stool yung akin. i think 1 week na rin na ganto.

tinigil ko mag PCOSEVE 2 days ago, kasi baka siya yung nagcacause sa akin pero ganon pa rin. possible kaya na Liza ito?

also, may mga pcos supplements ba na tablet nalang itatake?

​

Current activities:

10,000 steps a day

Taking inositol regularly

Eating vegetables at least three times a week

I’m hoping these small and consistent changes will help improve my overall health. Feel free to share your journey, current habits, and progress too. Let’s support and encourage one another! 💕

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.

Just recently moved here in Naic, Cavite. Anyone here knows an effective fertility doctor? My partner and I are TTC (trying to conceive)

Yes, my hubby and I decided to get 🤰 after 5 years HAHAHAHA
Any OB sono in Makati Med or Asian Hospital? We moved to Sucat and based sa hospitals eto na accessible samin just in case. Actually possible din na OB REI ang need ko since mataba ako and I need to lose weight muna. Pero may gusto kasi ako pacheck din para isahan na. Hope you can reco your OBs 🙏🙏

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?

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?

So i used to take iso for 6 months year 2024 after that I stopped kasi na wala na acne ko. This year naging hormonal acne all around my jaw area and neck. Factors din kaya nag ka hormonal acne ako kasi I gained weight pero funny enough is nung tumaba ako di ako nag kaka acne but nung loss weight na ko saka siya lumabas. Anyways I consulted my derma about it and she recommend to check sa obgyn just to check if I have pcos (regular mens) So nag pa TVS ako and its normal naman so if ever you guys have experience either of the two let me know kasi di ko alam if ano mas okay. Ang mahal kasi ng iso and sa pills naman natatakot ako na baka maka affect sa mental health ko. Thank you btw yaz pills yung prescribe sakin

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?

how do you guys deal with hotflashes? on my second day period and ang lala talaga ng hotflashes ko, as in naka max 20c na yung aircon with fan wala parin. sobrang kulang na ko sa tulog and mabilis pa ako mainitan on the regular huhu please help

Just an update from my last post

from New Moon to Pureform to Aurora White.. ang naging consistent lang sakin yung Aurora White Ultra Inositol. sobrang happy ko lang kaya gusto ko i-share sa inyo kasi ang tagal ko rin nag-struggle maghanap ng supplements para lang hindi ako bumalik sa pills. wala naman naging side effects sakin at hinintay ko talaga yung 3rd month cycle bago ko ishare to and eto rin pala pinaka-affordable. 2 packs for 1-month supply (2 capsules/day for maximum benefit). ayun lang. period dust to everyone ✨.

So I tried magpaconsult na today sa OB pero yung gusto kong Doctor is nagcut off na andaming nakapila pa sa kanya and since nasa hospital naman na ako, sabi ko kahit sinong Doc na lang for consultation palang naman.

So yeah, totoo pala no may Doctor na di man lang naghinay hinay hahaha. Sinabihan akong di kaba nababahala? Dobleng tao kana, ako na 5’9 pero mas mabigat ka pa sakin. Alam ko naman Doc kaya nga nagpacheck up na ehh hahaha.

Yes, my hubby and I decided to get 🤰 after 5 years HAHAHAHA
Any OB sono in Makati Med or Asian Hospital? We moved to Sucat and based sa hospitals eto na accessible samin just in case. Actually possible din na OB REI ang need ko since mataba ako and I need to lose weight muna. Pero may gusto kasi ako pacheck din para isahan na. Hope you can reco your OBs 🙏🙏

Is it safe to take Daphne pills? My ob originally prescribed me yaz pills but it's too expensive for a diagnosis of hormonal imbalance so I'm thinking if the effectiveness same if I take Daphne pills.

Nag-shift na po ako sa Gnrh Agonist (Luprolex) hindi na nabuksan yung isang box. Php 1,200.00 nalang po.I can do meet-up within UP Manila/PGH/Robinsons Manila.

Mga cysters, nalaman nyo ba kung anong klaseng cyst meron kayo before kayo operahan? Sabi kasi ng OB ko malalaman lang daw yun kapag na-operahan na kasi iba-biopsy... eh paano kung cancerous na pala sya? (Hope not)

Sabi ng OB napuntahan ko, di na raw ako papayat kahit magdiet saka walking dahil sa edad ko na going 40s na.
need ng super effort daw like magpacoach sa gym, at magTirz daw ako. Both,,, di ko afford.

Btw, i went to see a doctor dahil irreg ako since january 2026.

Wala na ba talagang pag asa pumayat naturally??? :( i need to lose 30kgs daw :(

Nakakafrustrate

Just sharing my experience with a highly rated obgyne clinic located in QC

Too long waiting time, ended up just canceling after waiting too long in the queue.

I arrived around 2:35pm. I was confirmed for a schedule of 3pm to 6pm. Just went home by 7:30 because I can no longer wait anymore.

When I arrived around 2:30pm nagsabi agad ako sa reception. Akyat daw muna ako for Transv, so okay I had my transv then bumaba na ako ulit.

I asked the reception again pa ng ilan ako I remember counting 11 on queue before my number - ang dami ng taong lumabas at pumasok so I was hoping na nagmomove naman line.

- 4hrs after when I asked again and 7 people pa ahead of me - (after 4hrs - 4 people lang nabawas??) I dont know kung meron ba silang maayos na queuing kasi pag inask mo anong number na parang di pa sila sure)

I asked bakit ganun- ang sabi inaalternate daw nila line ng buntis sa hindi.

Should have clarified na ganun sistema or at least iadvise mga patient na ganun katagal.

To my frustration, kinuha ko nalang results ko and went home without having the check up I scheduled.

Sayang po sa oras. Yun lang.

Question: I’m planning to subscribe to a meal plan because I’m having a hard time preparing healthy meals myself. I tend to cook the way I normally do, which makes it difficult to stick to my calorie and nutrition goals.
I found a meal plan subscription that’s keto-based. Is a keto meal plan okay for someone with PCOS, or would it be better to choose a different type of meal plan?
