Tomorrow I'm taking a personal day. Not too sure how its any different than any other day, I still have chores and make dinner for the family and maybe go to the store, but I just need a me day. I do plan on taking an actual bath, that'll be nice. I'll paint my toes. Wow this is a boring me day. Oh I'll add those highlights in my hair.

Me too, wow that's exactly what I do to jump start mine!

mine is totally weight dependent now last summer I slimmed down and was getting regular periods even though I wasn't on BC (NuvRing btw) but then the weight crept back on and bam no periods for 6 months, came back home and jumped start it, got a period and now I've been off it again and back to normal.

I was not going to "jump" it again, I promised myself. But I had to do something, it had been like 4-6 months.

Losing weight is my #1 struggle! What kind of dieting are you doing?

Re: pcos kistbyfaeries July 7 2010, 05:52:53 UTC

I'm not dieting so much as just watching what I eat. I'm using the livestrong.com food tracker and it keeps track of how many calories I had and breaks it down into cals, chol, sugar, fiber, protein, fat. Right now I'm just trying to eat less sugar since PCOS makes me insulin resistant even though I'm not diabetic. I think what helps the most besides being aware of what I put in my body is that I've started the Couch to 5k program. Its hard, I'm on week 4 of the 9 week program. I generally have to repeat weeks since I'm not a runner and have a hard time completing it. So I keep at it until I can finish the week's schedule a few times. This is my second week of week 4 and I'll probably have to have a third.

So what exactly is PCOS? Do you not have your period sometimes? Is that what happens?

What colour are you highlighting your hair? :)

PCOS stands for polycystic ovarian syndrome. Basically the cysts start coking out your ovaries so that they don't produce the needed levels of estrogen. Eventually there is an excess of testosterone which leads to excess hair growth all over the body. Another symptom/cause is excess weight gain. PCOS sufferers tend to be insulin resistant so its harder to loose weight and easier to gain which only exasperates the problem. Besides the physical issues, its harder to conceive since ovulation doesn't occur regularly if at all.

Oh just some blond highlights. I'm going to be dying my hair blue black at the end of the summer and hoping that the bleach strands will show more blue/purple.
