Hi, sorry I wasn't sure where else to post this comment, my gp thinks I may have PCOS but I haven't been sent for any tests or what have you as of yet as last time I went to see her I was also there for help with sleep apnea and so all the focus was put on that as she felt it was more important to get a hosp app to sort that first.
Anyway to cut a long story short, for years I have had hardly any periods but when they do come my god they are painful, it doesn't feel like say normal period pain that I used to experience when younger which was bad enough, I literally am in agony especially for the first number of a days. Anyway I started my new healthy eating plan just over nine weeks ago and in this time I have lost 2 stone 5 lbs and now suddenly my periods are coming back the thing is though whilst I was hoping to get more regular periods as I was hardly having any before, now I am getting too many in my opinion, I came on my period on Wed this week yet my last one only stopped just around a week ago, the pain is dire, I am so bloated and generally feel awful. I have terrible mood swings as it is and at these times of course they get so much worse, my rage is beyond belief!.
Any advice? or any info on how I go about finding out if its PCOS? or what can be done to help things, thanks for your time, Emma x
