@frustratedfibro I totally understand! It took me nearly 9 or so months to really start seeing a difference. It took nearly 5 years to see the biggest difference regarding my hormone levels.

@frustratedfibro I've discussed the spironolactone recently too. Metformin never did a thing for my hormones or weight. Birth control only helps keep my periods regular. I've had PCOS as long as I've had a period so I feel like I'll try anything at this point.

@frustratedfibro on spiro you'll want to make sure you stay really hydrated and get lots of sodium! it's a potassium-sparing diuretic so it can make your electrolytes super unbalanced, sodium should balance it out & help you retain your water. also keep an eye on your blood pressure if you can. i don't want to assume you didn't know any of that but nobody told me when i was on spiro and the effects interfered with my life severely so better safe than sorry 💕
