Kate Star-Bean :
and yet they won't offer a glp1 for longterm management of the accompanying insulin resistance

The conceptive pill is what sped up my symptoms to an uncontrollable level. Metformin was a tough ride until I became resistant. I ended up on mounjaro privately. I’m incredibly worried when I finish mounjaro as I really do not want to be on hormonal contraception

Carol Rowan :
It’s a step in the right direction but I don’t think I’ll bother with my yearly review if all I’ll ever be offered is a contraceptive pill 🙄

This is a huge change to "come back to us when you want children." (which I don't). I was previously told that my issues with severe hirsutism on my face was "just cosmetic" and that I needed to accept it. Also been told previously by a Gynaecologist that I "have to have a period" as if I was in control of it and then discharged. If this new guidance actually comes with me getting the treatment I deserve to have it will improve my life.

Any recommendations on using GLP-1s to manage PMOS for those with insulin resistance and obesity?

Natalie Walton :
any mention of help to actually lose the weight such as GLP1s? As we all know pmos makes losing weight even harder. thanks

I cross my fingers every day that these guidelines will eventually include use of GLP-1s as a medication (even off label) for PMOS rather than metformin 🥲

So really looking forward to the annual review where my GP will warn me about getting fatter as I age (I'm 43 and have a BMI of 20), while also telling me how the menopause will destroy me

Luxstensions :
glp and letrozole should also be added for fertility issues and not just push IVF

user3925285255373 :
sorry alot of this sounds not veru helpful bascically u could do this but maybe do that you cant even get an appointment with a gp so no chance of a gp spending time discussing this options i a 5 min consult

Not sure an annual review is really realistic or achievable with NHS resources tbh

Lauren Surgey :
Do we still need gynaecologist to approve metformin before docs can give it? I’ve been told this and it’s 13 month wait for gynaecologist appointment 😭

An annual review would have been life changing. I do worry how this works in practice with the pressure already on the NHS. This is the most detail I’ve ever seen around PCOS/PMOS. My gps have been as useful as a chocolate teapot

petrasimpson863 :

Louise Watt :
How would obtaining a diagnosis work if a pelvic scan showed both ovaries enlarged and polycystic but hormone tests appear within normal range and period cycles are between 30-39 days?
