Thanks Olivee for sharing.
Ask you, did your menses come regularly after taking Dr CHen medicine? You managed to ovulate after that?
That I don't know! Before my period came, I became pregnant : ) So I guess I must have ovulated

acty I am not sure if weight gain and insulin resistance is the cause of pcos. I doubt it is but these are commonly associated with pcos sufferers. I didn't have any weight issues until I went to uni. my periods started getting irregular and I kept gaining wt. I don't think there is a known cause for pcos.. hmmmOther than insulin resistance/weight issues, were any ladies informed by the doc what could be the cause of their PCOS?
I was initially on metformin, but blood test results showed that my insulin levels were ok. I have no weight issues also. So the cause is still undetermined.
Good luckHi. I'm also a PCOS patient. I stop taking Metfomin due to the side effect and I don't feel comfortable to take this medicine as it is actually for diabetes patient. I just visited KKH and currently taking hormone medicine to let my menses come in a week time so that I can do HSG test on the 10th day to check if the tube is blocked. I hope it is fine...
By the way, I married for 3 years...
What kind of diet plan?Thanks ahling07.
Can I ask if anyone of you taking pcos diet plan? Can share with me?
What kind of diet plan?
I did some research that for pcos patient, we need to control our diet, like taking low-GI foods so that it controls our weight and hormone.View attachment 508473
I think is good that we can go excise tgt and support one another
Yup! I definitely feel extra motivation! Usually I do jogging nearby at bedok stadium! minimum once a week during weekends. What about you and the rest?

FightingHi,
I also suffer from PCOS and I'm getting married soon. Hoping to have kids after I get married. Anyone has any success stories to share?
I'm also currently taking supplements now - Folic acid, fish oil, probiotics. Do you know if they help?
Thanks.
I had irregular menses since 2007/8. Didnt managed to get proper diagnosis (docs just pass it off as hormonal imbalance) until jan 2013, when i eventually did the transvaginal ultrasound. As i was not married back then, the only medicine prescribed was BCP in order to regulate my menses. On top of that, i was supposed to maintain a healthy weight.
One yr on, i decided to drop off the pill since afterall, its supposed to regulate but not treat the underlying cause and i am afraid in the long run my health may be affected. So in jan 2014, i went to see a tcm rec by my frd for fertility issues. Took their med for 1-2 mths and for once, my menses became regular once again (due to pcos, i had super irregular menses that range fm 4-7mths). And i got pregnant in jul 2014! Was mad happy cos totally didnt expect it.
So all hope's not lost! Just take gd care of ur body, have a positive mindset, be ard positive people. May luck be with u
Yup, possible to have PCOS with regular periodsHi all. I'm TTC and my gynae mentioned I might be having PCOS from the scan. But my menses are so regular! Am going for HSG this sat... anyone can share any tests to confirm on PCOS? Anyone having regular menses yet having PCOS too?
Hi OscarI went to the one at singpost, paya lebar, basement1. Clinic name is de xing. Downside is the queue and must be really patient...first few weeks gotta see her every week. Aft about 2-3 visits cfm med is suitable, then it will be once every 2 weeks. If i go right aft work, waiting time can be 2-3hrs. If sat can go up to 4hrs. But i saw the improvement to my health in general and best thing is i started ovulating (previously if i rely on BCP i only get menses but not nec ovulation). So i was quite disciplined. It helps that my hubby went with me and didnt mind the wait. Else it can get so tiring and boring....

Hi
I have irregular menses ranging from 45-80 days cycle. I'm also doing the HSG this coming Friday. And will pay a follow up visit with doctor on 16 May for the blood test and HSG test results. Let's keep in touch and share the experience.
Hi Oscar
Thank you for this information. I have irregular menses. And is current doing iui. I take note and maybe try it when a suitable times comes. Are you ttc now ? Have u done iui before?
My menses became regular after the tcm treatment, and became pregnant aft 6mths. Caught me by surprise when i wasn't ttc cos all i wanted was to treat pcos, or at least increase the freq of my menses.
For my case the gynae diagnosed immediately when she saw my clusters and enlarged ovariesHey gals... is there a specific test for PCOS? My gynae said "suspect"... but I did see the clusters from my scan. Did you gals do any tests? TIA
Thank god. HSG done and no blockage! Phew

By the way do you feel stomach cramp during and after HSG? My stomach cramp for like half an hour. Seriously wanna scream.
That's good! I did ytd but have to visit the doctor next month then only I will know if there's any blockage. So what's ur plan after this?
Yes, my cramps were bad too.. Lasted for a couple of hours.. Sharp pain when the car went over the humps on the way homeBy the way do you feel stomach cramp during and after HSG? My stomach cramp for like half an hour. Seriously wanna scream.
Why do u need to wait till next month to know the results? I knew it on the spot and there was also a screen live telecast. I just needed to wait an hr for the written report and x rays films. I did at gleneagles.

I did it at KKH. Probably that's the different between private and government hospital. I visited KKH as fren recommended dr thh. I saw the screen live telecast too. But I think should be KKH procedures to let the doctor explains to me during the next appointment together with the blood test result. I memorize the the picture shown and Google. And... I have a bad feeling that I have the blockage. Mine share with me how much u incurred? Just a cost comparison.
Hi songsnowy
Stay positive. I didn't really understand the live telecast too...
When my gynae told me there's no blockage, I was even doubtful... cos I didn't really see the contrast dye flowing freeing. But the xray films were clear and obvious. I understand your anxiety.... just pray and stay positive! God bless.
