Hi Christy. My name is Kristin. I'm 39 and also have PCOS. I can completely relate!!! I just joined myfitnesspal almost two weeks ago I've been so frustrated but I really need to finally make this happen. Maybe we can support each other trying to get where we want to be. Take care!0

Hi Christy - I can totally relate, I have been dealing with the PCOS monster for a long time now. Feel free to friend me! I have lost weight and got pregnant with PCOS.0

Hi
I am Stephanie. I am 26 and was diagnosed last year. PCOS sucks. I am currently trying to get my weight down while trying to get pregnant. Feel free to add me.0 -
I'm new to MFP and struggle with PCOS... I'd love to make some new connections with people in the same boat! Feel free to add me.0

Hi I'm 25 and while I've had PCOS for several years within the past few months my symptoms have come on. I'm on the thin side. Some doctors would consider me under weight for my height. Feel free to friend me. I'm not trying to get pregnant, just trying to manage my symptoms and balance my body back out. I've started taking some supplements with the advice of a naturopathic dr, hopefully in a few months I start to see improvement.0

Hi!
I'm Christina. I've been struggling since my early teens and it wasn't until my late 20s that I was diagnosed with PCOS. It has been hard trying to battle all of this. I've had a few times that I've slipped. But all yuo can do is keep trying. There are some really good information out there. I've found that they less carbs I eat the better I can manage things. Feel free to add me as a friend.
Best of Luck!0 -

Hi Chrisy:
I am 33 and have PCOS as well. I have been dieting and trying to lose weight and it is difficult. I have friends that do the same thing as me and are down 15-25lbs. It is so frustrating but I know I have to do it. I want to be a mother so bad and I know this is a step in the right direction. If ever you need to vent or just chat please feel free:flowerforyou:0 -

Hi Tarsha! I was finally able to get pregnant but it did require a little medical push. Here's what the docs said to me: PCOS is the easiest form of infertility to treat. And I was able to sustain the pregnancy with a progesterone pill (administered in a very undignified manner). My daughter was 7 weeks premature, but very healthy....and currently in the throes of the terrible twos. Good luck to you!0 -
Thank you so much for the inspiration and advice. And don't worry, she won't be two forever. LOL0

I am 36 and was diagnosed when I was 14. Feel free to add me.0

27 - Diagnosed with PCOS two years ago. SHOULD HAVE BEEN diagnosed at 16 since that is when all the symptoms began and none of the 4 "seasoned" doctors/specialists I had could figure it out. A wise 3rd year medical resident figured it out in 10 minutes...le sigh
Anyway - please feel free to add me (I have added some of you already). It is a tough to understand PCOS and what it is doing to your body. I get so frustrated sometimes because I eat well and I exercise regularly and I won't lose a thing. Hopefully with persistence it will all work out. So far my personal decision to become vegetarian and getting off birth control has helped reduce many of my symptoms. Hope this lasts... lol
I am here if anyone wants to talk or vent or needs support!

I was also able to get pregnant and had to use progesterone suppositories (yuck!) my daughter was 12w5d premature but she is a very healthy almost 20 month old!0 -
Hi I'm Victoria, I was diagnosed with PCOS a few years ago. I'm very lucky to have two children, but I'm struggling with my weight, often my moods and certainly menstruation! I've lost a couple of pound with mfp, I find the support of others a big help and would love to chat with people in the same sort of boat xx feel free to add me0

I am Tina, 42. I long suspected I had PCOS but was officially diagnosed at 34. I have lost weight with PCOS with the help of medications (which once I went off of I gained back all of the weight!) and am now finding success with a combination of prescription/homeopathics (Metformin, coupled with Chasteberry (Vitex) and Cinnamon.) I was very lucky that I did have normal cycles a few times a year, every year, and conceived my children (3) without trouble. My primary issues are weight gain, an almost total lack of menses, and significant hair loss. Feel free to FR me!0

I am 34 and a fellow cyster! I know exactly what you are going through! I need some motivation and friends who understand. Feel free to add me!0

I am 31, was diagnosed with PCOS since my early 20's but had problems way before that. I started my cycle when I was 9, the weight kept coming on no matter how active I was was. Metformin was enough to help me get pregnant the 2nd time and that pregnancy was a success. My daughter is 5 now. I am off the metformin because i'm trying to do things the natural way. I can relate to all of you and am looking for new friends/contacts for motivation support. No matter how much you think you know about PCOS, there is always the struggle, the cravings, and not enough people who understand. Feel free to add me as well as i'm just getting back on MFP to stay on track with my weight loss goals and possibly trying to conceive for another baby.0
