Suggest Treatment For Excessive Weight Loss While Having PCOS
I suffer from pcos and suspected endometriosis but not yet confirmed. For the last 6 months ive got my periods regular after losing a lot of weight. My period was due 4 days ago now. Ive done a pregnancy test which was negative but Ive been told it could be too early to detect hcg levels on a home pregnancy test. Im feeling nauseous at times and my bowel habits have changed. I suffer from ibs also which mainly causes me trouble with diarrhea but lately i am constipated and my poop is green which has never happened before! im wondering if this could be a symptom. Obviously having pcos/endo can cause fertility problems so i dont know what my chances are of conceiving naturally anyway.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a condition wherein there is abnormality in formation and maturation of ovarian follicles and release of mature eggs, hormonal disturbance, high testosterone and weight gain.
It is possible to conceive natural with PCOS but medical intervention is required.
I suggest you to consult a gynecologist for clinical assessment, investigations like hormone levels and follicular scan.
Treatment of PCOS includes drugs to stimulate ovaries to produce mature eggs and correction of hormonal imbalance.
PCOS is usually accompanied by weight gain but you have mentioned that you are experiencing weight loss.
The cause for weight loss also needs to be determined.
Thanks and take care
