Hey everyone,
Specialist today prescribed me a course of progesterone to take - I just wondered if anyone here had taken in for treament of PCOS?
I've been prescribed it to regulate my TOM after going for 6 months with no TOM, but apart from that I don't know if it can help in any other way with other side effects - apart from that it may make my skin problems worse
I've been having so many problems with consulting doctors about this subject - most every time I see my GP he says that I 'don't look like someone with PCOS' to which I have to remind him I was diagnosed 9 years ago with it...
On top of that, when I questioned the specialist today about weight-gain and explained that I'd recently lost a lot of weight and was not wanting to regain any, I was told that 'the Pill does not make you gain weight as the pills contain no calories' which I thought was an assinine remark - no duh the pills contain no calories but isn't it common knowledge that people gain weight when they take various forms of the Pill?!?!
So I feel like I can barely rely on their advice, so I figured I'd ask here and see if anyone can has any experiences of progesterone and any and all effects it has!
