When I came to US and went to see a doctor for my condition (I even told here I was PCOS), the first thing she did was to order a lot of blood work. I am sure all fertility tests begin with the blood work. Just like everyone, I had no clue what these levels were. Even though there was a chart in the blood work that says the normal value...

Now, the title of this post may have you wondering if this is going to be a replica post to the post about symptoms of PCOS. No, its not. In fact, one of my friend’s question is the main reason why this post is here.

For most of us with PCOS, one of the most frequently heard taunt is “Do something about your weight”. Yeah, even I have heard that. What I hate most about PCOS is that all its symptoms are physical – meaning they catch the eye and being overweight is one of them. Try whatever you might, the extra pounds don’t want to leave you at all.. So today is going to be a post on obesity. How are PCOS and Obesity related? Would you...

Someone who had studied biology in their higher secondary might comprehend this, but others are left without any clue. As such PCOS leaves us much confused, so I thought I’d write a post that is not actually a biology class but will throw some light on the...

I think this post is going to be useful not just for women with PCOS but also for the mothers whose daughters are at the puberty stage. I am saying this because the symptoms start appearing in their mid teens and that is the best time to start treating this as it could be controlled way too effectively if it were to be treated at an early stage. What are the changes that indicate PCOS? The first and the most visible – ACNE....
