Success after IF

Anyone have PCOS symptoms worsen pp?

I've seen several people say their PCOS got better post baby, but mine seems worse than ever.  I just finished weaning about 3 weeks ago and since then I've put on 15 pounds (mostly in the belly) and have noticed weird hair things again.  Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat...

  • Mine did not get better either. I am still 13 pounds above my pre-pregnancy weight and am having the worst time losing the weight just like before. I still have a lot of the same hair problems that I had before as well so you are not alone.

  • I'm still BFing but so far they are worse...my acne is worse than it ever has been and I see more facial hair too.
  • Unfortunately me. I, too, had a difficult time taking off the pp weight....until I went back on the strict "PCOS diet."

    Also, when we were TTC with DS, my cycles were actually very "regular" (with the exception that I had late ovulation.....). After I gave birth to DS.....I was having 45-60 day cycles (even months after I had him....). I did not BF and got my 1st pp period around 11 weeks pp.......

  • Mine have definitely gotten worse in my opinion.  I was at an excellent weight at about 3 weeks pp and then at about 8 weeks I started putting it all back on and then some.  And the hair!  Just annoying!
  • even though my cycles have shortened since getting my first pp period, my hair growth is out of control (i feel like all i do is pluck) and i have gained a ton of weight since losing my pregnancy weight.
