Anyone else out there battling PCOS, diabetes, and infertility like me? I am new to this and could use some friends.

Hi Princess, there's a couple groups for PCOS on here that a really great for information and support

I have PCOS too and am pre-diabetic. Feel free to add me if you need a friend!
I'd also recommend checking out the keto groups and seeing if the keto diet might work for you - it's been a great help for me.
Cheers!

I suffer from PCOS and know exactly what you ladies are going through.

We can get through it all together though

pcos, insulin resistant and infertile. pcos caused me to go through menopause at the age of 27 (called premature ovarian failure). making sure to reduce your carbs and increase your protein is super important in managing symptoms. good luck!

I'm right there with you ladies! I am trying to lose weight to one day conceive, but also be healthy all over. The PCOS symptoms getting better as I am healthier is the biggest motivation!

I was diagnosed with PCOS about 25 years ago but didn't really start to get treatment specific to it until about 8 or 9 years ago. With a lot of luck, plus surgery and good doctors, I was able to conceive and give birth to twins, now almost 19. I was started on metformin and continue it to this day. I know what all ladies who suffer through this go through.

My wife (karamleik) has PCOS and we struggled with infertility as well. I'm sure she wouild probably accept a friend request if you want a "friend." (She's listed as one of my friends) Take a look at taking a Chromium supplement. When added to the Metformin my wife was able to conceive within 2 months for each of our (almost) 3 kids. #3 is still on the way. Our Doc said he never heard of using Chromium, but it worked for us 3 times in a row.

I didn't have PCOS but my husband and I struggled for four years! We now have a daughter 17 months old, it happened naturally. All the treatment didn't help me. You may have better luck than me:) Stay strong! I know it's tough, i still get teary eyed thinking about it.

I have PCOS and had a dr tell me that I was never going to have children ever again. We even went to a fertility specialist and got no results. My husband and I cried about it quite a bit.

That was two kids ago.....

I actually was able to conceive once I lost some weight and got pretty healthy (from walking). Next thing I knew, I was pregnant after TTC'ing for about 10 years. Then had another one right after that :-) (Yea, we thought the first one was a fluke lol).

So, I know from experience that things aren't always as they seem....that we have things happen for a reason.

Good luck to you. Feel free to add me :-)

When I found out I have PCOS, my cycle was 5 months late and by then I was in stage 3. No diabetes, been tested twice a year since I was 19 or 20. I left MFP for the last year because nothing was coming off. I tried a diet when I was younger that helped me lose very quickly and my cycle was regular (why I stopped is a good question). Been doing research and talking to others for the last week and found out the diet they are on is very similar to what I was doing and I didn't even know it. So here I am tonight, I would be glad to have a few friends with the same issue.
