PCOS

I thought there was a board in the past for PCOS but now I cannot find it.  I take Yasmin to help with my symptoms but it has killed my sex drive.  What pill do you take (for those who have PCOS)?

Re: PCOS

  • Changing your diet might help. We were TTC so I wasn't taking BCPs. I was eating way more whole grains, more vegetable and dairy protein and less fast carbs during meals and I pretty much cut out all junk food I didn't make myself from scratch. It was especially important to get a good protein rich breakfast.
