    Hello and welcome! I suggest you check out the mail low carber daily forum group here in MFP. It's where most of us Ketophiles tend to hang out:

    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/discussions/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group

    There's also lots of great info in the launch pad / sticky note area at the top of the group some of which may answer your questions.

    BT_rescuemom is PCOS and keto I believe, and you will see her on LCHF as the previous post advised.

    Hi luv, there's some really great information on this on facebook in a group called "Ketogenic Success". There are many ladies in the group with PCOS that I have read about who have had great success with keto and have become pregnant. Just read one yesterday and she posted a pic of her ultrasound. Awesome stuff.

    Hiya. I have PCOS too. I attempted keto to help with my symptoms but I didn't find it sustainable at all. I know it works for some people however. I have lost 21lbs just sticking with my calories and eating what I want :)
