I’m on this Loestrin thing for treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Before I started taking the medicine. I used to be extremely angry for no apparent reason, and then shortly after I was normal. It wasn’t extreme, just random anger if you will. My gyno said that was due to the cysts.

Now, I’m on this Loestrin birth control pill, and I can randomly become extremely angry, then to sad and wanting to cry, then to calm, then back to angry. There’s rarely a normal time now. I think thats from the medicine.

So I was wondering how should I calm down during these mood swings? I can’t hit anybody, and I don’t want to cry.

I am really scared & don’t know what to do. I guess I should explain everything first.

I am a 14 year old girl. I live with my 27 year old sister and her husband. My sister has been my legal guardian for about a year now because my parents are f*cked up; its a really complicated situation. Anyways we are very close and I trust her with everything, like she is the one I told about my anorexia / bulimia 2 years ago and she helped to put me in treatment and stuff.

But two weeks ago I went to a party at a guy I know’s house and he invited a whole bunch of kids on Facebook that he didn’t even know and before anyone knew it there were like 200 ppl there. I was trying to be safe and just talk to people I knew but then this senior started talking to me and I guess he put something weird in my drink because before I knew it I was in a bedroom with him and he had just raped me. I do not know what he did to my drink but I was only drinking water; and I can’t remember anything but parts of when he was raping me. I am on birth control to prevent ovarian cysts because I always get huge ones so I know I’m not pregnant, but ever since then I have been very reserved and will not talk to anyone. I’m just so scared. I know I need to tell my sister. This guy took my virginity that I was determined to save till marriage and so I am so depressed right now. I even made myself throw up on Saturday, something I haven’t done in 20 months. How do you think I should tell my sister? I know she will do everything in her power to help me but I do not even know who this guy was, and no one at the party knew who half the people there were either. I am so lost and I am usually talkative and outgoing but now I just feel like such a slut 24/7 because I lost my virginity before any of my friends. I hate this feeling. HOW DO I TELL HER??????

Thank you so much for understanding.

Okay so, I’m going to give a little background info. here. It might be long but bear with me. I’ll try to be brief (dunno how successful I’ll be with it).

So two years ago I was diagnosed with Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome, but they found no cyst, it was just that my testosterone level was much higher than it should have been, which somehow caused me to have several-month-long period cycles (which resulted in severe anemia and at the time my hemoglobin level dropped to 3.5) and then miss my period for 2-6 months. Also, I was diagnosed Von Willebrand’s disease which makes it difficult for my body to clot and stop bleeding (both for the menstrual cycle and for cuts and such). Anyway, after a bunch of bleeding episodes and stuff, here we are, two years after the diagnosis, I’d missed my period for about 4-5 months and they had to force it to start with oral contraceptives and progesterone pills. The birth control was supposed to stop the periods but it didn’t. I’m still bleeding and my hemoglobin lowered to 10.5 even though the doc prescribed a higher strength birth control, but that’s not even the big problem.
I’m already ninety pounds overweight, and used to be an emotional eater but for the past few months I’ve been trying to lose weight. I’m naturally active and am used to walking for hours at a time without breaking a sweat, and I take theatre classes on weekends and I dance for exercise every day for one to two hours, nonstop. Before, I could handle this kind of exercise with no problem, but now I feel like I can’t even walk up steps without being short-winded. That’s incredibly strange, even for me. Before I could walk from one end of the Atlantic City, NJ boardwalk to the other end and back and THEN walk all the way through the shop area and back to the Amtrak train station in the middle of a hot July afternoon and now I can’t even walk a few blocks from the train station to the hospital.
When I used to be an emotional eater, I was never really that hungry, but I just ate when I was upset. I’m used to eating healthy foods, and I’m a vegetarian, but my portion control is way off. Still, I don’t get as hungry as you would think. But as of last week, I keep feeling as if I haven’t eaten for days. Lately I’ve been trying to substitute extra meals for water or fruit, but it only makes me feel sick and cramp up a lot (especially since the water retention from the period already makes me bloated). The only thing that makes me feel full and not sick (for the short run) are bread substances and pretty much any grain (though I only eat flatbread, crackers, and hot or cold cereal).
I told my mom that something weird was going on. I had to go to the hospital on Monday because I woke up with blood running down my legs. They sent me home with the stronger pills after learning that my hemoglobin was only 10.5. When I take the pills, I start to bleed more and I feel incredibly sick. Everyone is convinced that my fatigue, hunger, and nausea is because I’m fat, and yes, that would be the normal case, but this isn’t normal for me! I feel completely out of it! I’m sleeping all the time, too. Today, for the first time, I actually slept until noon. NOON. I’m used to getting up at 6am every day to help get my sister ready for school! Why can’t anyone just listen to what I’m saying rather than basing their treatment on what what would be the "normal" situation? How can I get everyone to just shut up and listen instead of them trying to make me accept something that just IS NOT TRUE?

-sigh- I’m sorry, I failed at making this brief, but really, I’m just a little frightened and very frustrated. No one will take me seriously because I’m fat and they don’t believe that a fat person could be an active one. What am I to do?

And the real thing is, I’ve gone through this before. Before I was first diagnosed, I had the symptoms of an anemic person. My family blamed it on my weight, and refused to get me treated, even when I kept getting dizzy spells and eating ice like a madman. Finally, when I collapsed on the train platform they thought to get me checked out and finally we found out about the PCOS. What shocks me now (but didn’t shock me then) was that the doctor said if I had been just a few hours late to the ER, I would have been dead–After being severely anemic for about a month and bleeding for six months.
It always has to resort to something serious before anyone believes me!

I went to the ER last weekend and found out I have a 3 cm ovarian cyst I am in a lot of pain and I was given Percocet for the pain. Now I know they do not hand those out for minor issues so I am concerned more. They help with the pain but not fully so I am not sure what is going on. I have an appt with my OB tomorrow and I wanted to know what more than likely will happen if anyone has been through this. I do not want to have to have an ovary removed I am 24 years old so I am not sure if that;s the only treatment or what the scoop is.. Anyone know?

Good point, I have been getting my blood sugar and insulin levels checked every month or so and so far those levels have been normal.

I’m 33, married and infertile. Well, I’ve been trying to conceive for six years with out any success. Ovarian cyst are very common to me. I even had to have one surgically removed which left slight scaring on one ovary. However, there was still hope for pregnancy. My husband and I have tried and tried again even with prescribed fertility pills. But no avail. At this point, I’ve lost hope. I mean, I can’t afford all those fancy fertility treatments but I do need closer, so that I’m not hoping for a mircale month to month. Do you think a hysterectomy would be wise? It’s not like my womanly parts work anyway. And this way, I won’t have to go thru mother nature every month, it’s dreadful for me.

how will diane35 (a contraceptive pill) affect a woman with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)? will the pill worsen the condition or is it considered treatment for the cysts? thanks!

I lost my health insurance and as a result cannot afford my Nuva Ring prescription any longer. I am thinking about going to my local Planned Parenthood and looking into getting an IUD placed but I’m not finding any research via the internet that suggests this is a good or bad idea given my condition. I’m married and not worried about much other than treating the PCOS. I can’t get pregnant without fertility treatments so that’s not even really the issue. I just don’t want to go through with the IUD if it doesn’t have any effect on regulating my hormones and controlling the cysts. Does anyone have any experience with or knowledge about IUD insertion in the setting of PCOS? Also wondering about how getting an IUD might affect my already diminished ability to get pregnant in the future- We plan to start our family in five or so years.Thanks for your help!!
