PCOS Awareness Month - anyone else have this??

Julie7741

Count me in too- I've joined other PCOS groups, but there's not much activity in them. I've lost 40 lbs, 20 left to go. I really want to focus on my body fat percentage at this point. I have two girls (11 and 7) thanks to a wonderful fertility doc!

Weight is a constant battle with this condition! I feel like if I quit paying attention to my carbs and calories for 5 minutes I can gain 5lbs...

Life long struggle with weight. Diet program after diet program.... PCOS here. I have the high insulin but low blood sugar, if you feed the beast a sweet all he wants is more so I ave cut out the sweets for the last month. The cravings are better. I am taking cinnamon to help with insulin regulation. I also suffer from high male hormones with unwanted hairiness, taking spiroloctane but i dont see a difference. I have no ovulation and no regular periods, when I do have them they are horrible! PCOS sucks.

I've got PCOS too - at a very high degree as I don't have periods naturally at all, and all the too high male hormones, hypothyroidism, etc symptoms

Can I join ?

I don't have PCOS BUT I do have a daughter of 13 who we are sure has it, we are going to Toronto sick Kids on Monday, to confirm the diagnosis, I have two sisters who have it, one actually having ovarian cancer at 30. I would love to join your group. I need to make healthy changes for my daughter, and would love to know how pcos is treated now, as both my sisters didn't get great treatment years ago:(

There are also other PCOS groups on MFP as well that people may want to check out. I think the more support and reaching out there is the better. I have been diagnosed with PCOS as well. Thanks for being willing to share more info. Check out the other groups too as I'm sure they'd be willing to hear what info you have too!

I have it too. I totally used to use it as an excuse as to why I was overweight. Well, look at me now! It CAN be done ladies. It may take a little more work but it IS possible! Interesting fact, Jillian Michaels has PCOS as well!

Hi - I was diagnosed with PCOS a little over a year ago, me and my husband have been trying to have children for the past 2 1/2 years and we finally got a answer to why we were having such a hard time ... I would like to be added to the group please, if room is still available! I joined MFP to lose weight and live a better lifestyle! Thanks in advance!!

I have PCOS. I was diagnosed since I was 17 (about 6 years ago). I've been struggling with PCOS ever since. im NOT trying to conceive, but i would love to reduce the symptoms and to get off all the medications that my doc put me on for them. If you have room for one more, i would love to join! Thanks

hey count me in! I joined all of the other groups on here but they were really inactive. I'd like to be in one that had active discussions.

srrose15

I LOVE all this support!!! Yes I have discovered the groups on MFP are not as active and are hard to communicate with if you are mostly on a mobile device - I am going to email everyone tomorrow - if you want to go ahead and friend me - feel free just put PCOS in the message so I know to add you to the group

I am 23 and was diagnosed with PCOS at 13. I've never had a cycle on my own. I have liver disease because of it and my kidneys are going too. Count me in! PCOS sucks, I know a lot about it and finally found macros that help. Would love to join!

I don't technically have PCOS, but I'm on the same regimen as someone who is (infertile, dealing with insulin resistance, used Metformin) - and I can talk all about the Glycemic Index Diet, which really does help and one of the best natural ways to help with PCOS. Seriously!

Hi count me in too please! I am 31 and was dx'ed at 13. Would love support and strategies, always looking for more friends.

I have it too. I've known for about 10 years now. I don't have much of a weight problem, but I'd love to join though

I had been diagnosed with PCOS a few years ago. I have been married for two years and want to have a child in another couple of years. I am overweight and have recently started exercising and logging in food.

I like to would really like to join this group this year has been the worst ever with my pcos. i have been diagnonsed for 8 years and had my ups and downs always been over weight this year we tried clomid for pregnancy no luck there. instead i got multiple months of large cysts and bed rest witch resulted in more weight gain. i have been off clomid for six months and am still getting the larger cysts but have resumed activity, i have resently lost 29 lbs and we are starting birth control again we decided to wait untill i get to healthy weight to try for pregnancy again so i would love any extra help i can get.
