PCOS & Our Bodies

Welome! OurPCOS is a place for females with PCOS to come and meet women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, find healthy recipes and workout routines, learn more information on PCOS, or just receive support! Disclaimer: I am neither a doctor nor nutritionist, but will answer questions to the best of my knowledge and research, however, it is best to consult with your doctor before starting any diet plan, cleanse, and/or supplements. All articles are sourced to the original post. No recipes, information, or articles are mine unless stated otherwise. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common female endocrine disorders that is affecting women in numbers as high as one out of ten, although many cases remain undiagnosed because symptoms differ from one woman to another. While one woman may experience a range of symptoms, another may have little to none. PCOS is a condition in which the sex hormones in a female’s body are imbalanced, which can cause cysts on the ovaries, weight gain, changes in menstrual cycle, trouble getting pregnant, and other problems. If left untreated, it can lead to heart disease and endometrial cancer. At this time PCOS is not curable but with medication, exercise, and healthy eating, the symptoms can be treated.

Weekly Roundup

This Weekly Roundup will just be a small post because there isn’t much to discuss besides a few things going on on OurPCOS. Of course, I would like to welcome new followers! Thank you for following OurPCOS and you’re welcome to send any questions or concerns you have, even if you would just like to talk!

The first Question of the Week was posted last Monday and we have gotten quite a handful of responses in regards to the questions which was, “If there were a pill that was said to cure PCOS, but was not yet approved and was still in a trial period, would you be one to volunteer as a tester even if the risks weren’t specified and it wasn’t 100% effective? Why or why not?” I decided that instead of posting a new question this week, I’m just going to extend the question for another week in case anyone else would like to answer. But a lot of you said that you would give the pill a chance, while others weren’t so sure. So let’s keep those responses coming! It’s interesting to see what you all have to say. If anyone would like to answer, click here, and re-blog with your response! You can also scroll down and see what everyone else responded with as well.

OurPCOS Weeklies is going well and Sunday is still available as a guest day for anyone who would like to contribute with their own OurPCOS Weekly, just send a message either Friday or Saturday to let Ashley and I know, then submit it before Sunday night. Renee and Sam have not yet posted, but will eventually, just need to give them time. I most definitely look forward to their posts once they do start posting.

There is now an Endometriosis section, which can be found if you scroll through the categories, but can also be found by clicking here. There is one post for now, but I have some queued to be posted within the upcoming weeks.
