What is PCOS?

Very hard!!! The only thing helping at this point is that the metformin is making me so sick I don't want to eat! Hang in there!!

Yes, it is hard and slow, (for me anyway) but stick with it. The logging on this site is VERY beneficial. I have noticed that for me, eating more protein and exercising like a mad-woman produces results. I am having exercise issues at the moment, but really it can be done! Best wishes!!!

P.S. I found a few appointments with a registered dietician (specializing in pre-diabetes) incredibly beneficial as well!

I was dx a couple months ago, the dr put me on metformin and birth control. I stopped the metformin and this is my last month on the birth control. My issue is the dr's can not give you a straight answer. I will soon want to have a baby I am mewly married, and this going to be a problem. Every question i asked trhey have another pill for me. It got to the point i was on so many pills I felt horrible, so i stopped them all!!! Not sure it was the right thing to do, but i feel better. So now I'm praying with calorie counting and exercise I shoild lose some weight. I am at a loss at this point

I also am new to MFP and was diagnosed with PCOS a few months ago. The side affects from the metfomin have subsided, and I am hoping that with some healthy lifestyle changes the weight will start to come off. We can do this!
