Years of trying to beat adult cystic / hormonal acne with no luck… except for brief success with Spironolactone. symptoms of insulin resistance, eventually weight gain and suspected fertility issues 😑

im still trying to get my doctor to do more tests she tested my hormones and said that everything looked normal so she doesnt think its PCOS she wants to wait til march when i see her again so see what to do next

I found a new doctor in another town. I miss him so much! He wasn't the best there is at managing PCOS, but at least he listened to me enough to dx it. He's an MD ob/gyn.

I also have a blood disorder, so I had been told by all my doctors my whole life that my heavy and inconsistent periods were because of that. I finally got a new nurse practitioner in a new town, and she immediately was like, “Nope. PCOS” So, she tested me, and I have it. I am thankful I went to her.

Couldn’t ignore the 20 lb cyst 💀
