Just started trying to lose weight. Depression has kept me from trying for quite awhile. I thought my PCOS was always going to keep me down. I wish the best for you both!

Yea I have a major problem with depression also but I have realized that losing weight will make it go away

I have PCOS and after losing nearly 60lbs 3 years ago, God blessed me with a little girl. I hope I can have another child once this weight comes off, but all I can say is that it IS possible!

Hey ladies! I was just diagnosed with PCOS as well. I'm just trying to adjust to everything that changes... my OB/GYN prescribed Adipex-P for me. Anyone else tried it? Any other advice, just looking for a few ladies that can lean on each other and support each other....

Hey ladies! I was diagnosed with PCOS about 10 years ago. I've found weight loss to be really difficult for me. I've gained almost 100 pounds in those 10 years, now I try like heck to lose it, but I'll lose 5 or 10 pounds, then stop losing. My doc just prescribed me Glucophage, and it seems to be helping with the weight loss. I also have some crazy dietary restrictions because I have kidney problems, and had to have one removed, so I'm low protein, low sodium, low oxalate which makes dieting even harder.

On a positive note though, they told me when I was diagnosed that I probably wouldn't be able to have kids, and I've been blessed with 2!!

I am a wee bit older... however I fought that battle and now have 2 awesome kids 14 and 8... I went through all the hoops, lost a child and finally won.... Feel free to add.. I am sure treatments have changed but the mental frustration I am sure is the same...

I was diagnosed with PCOS two years ago and was told I had 3% chance of ever conceive. I then started working out and eating healthy and lost 25lbs. I got pregnant last year naturally and gave birth to a baby girl 5 months ago.

Miracles do happen! Well, with the support of Jillian Michaels, MFP, and A LOT of self control...

I'm now returning back to MFP after a year time off and hope to get back to pre-pregnant body!

I'm 20 years old and was diagnosed with PCOS 4 years ago. I'm struggling to lose weight and could use the motivation and positivity from others who have PCOS as well.

I have PCOS. My goal was to lose 50 pounds before I started TTC. I'm ovulating again already after just 45 pounds, but I put off the baby making for another year. The less I weigh, the better my chances and health! Feel free to add me!

I have PCOS and been learning a lot about it. I have books, etc. I was very blessed to have my son. He was premie due to the condition but is almost 2 now and healthy. Please add me.

jolo908

I have it too! My doctor said I most likely have it (all of the symptoms), but said they don't really test for it. I need to lose the weight though regardless!

crossuturn

WOW! The responses are overwhelming! I'm adding all of you I know we can do this with all the support and encouragement from one another!

Talk to your doctor again, or find another doctor who will test you. My doctor sent me to the blood lab with a HUGE list of tests for them to draw. Basically, all of my hormones (progesterone, estradiol, etc), insulin test, a metabolic test, and so on. There isn't one, single test for PCOS, but they can diagnose it and treat it better once they know what they're working with in terms of your hormones and insulin.

I'm Riley and I have PCOS too. I'd love to be your friend, have you thought about maybe starting a group?

I am newly diagnosed (though I am fairly sure I've had it for years). We had one miscarriage and several years of trying again before getting pregnant a few months after starting metformin (which I then stopped taking because my ob/gyn never really told me *why* he put me on it). Anyway... new rounds of testing with a new doctor and she just made a PCOS diagnosis. I haven't even talked with her about what it means for diet or ttc (though, at 37, i'm starting to feel like I just need to give up on having #2) I'm kind of still in the "really annoyed because no doctors listened to me over years of me saying my hormones were wacky" stage.

Feel free to send me friend requests too (preferably with a message why!).

Edited to say that I think a group would be a fantastic idea! If the OP isn't interested in starting one, I'd be glad to do so.

There are several active PCOS groups. Click on "groups" and search for "pcos".

Hey everyone!
Im 34 have been diagnosed PCOS for about 8 years now.
Feel free to add me.
It took them a long time to diagnose me. They felt that I may have had it when I was a teenager, and told me I would never have children, but 4 kids later they were saying "with PCOS you can never get pregnant" Although I did notice that I tended to get pregnant when I lost 15-20 lbs. I have been on all kinds of birth control. I DID NOT want children, But I realize they are a blessing and I don't believe in abortion and I must be their mom for a reason. I went through years of well you have to watch what you eat. I would always keep a food diary, I was a 300 pound vegan, and I would show my doctor saying "WHAT HERE MAKES YOU FAT??? The lettuce, or the tofu????" I was always told adjust your lifestyle.. I dumped that doctor like a hot potato, once I was able.
I started going to a different doctor, and she saw the hair on my face, my body type, and the fact I always was on a type of birth control when I got pregnant. I was in hell. She also noticed that my periods were 18-20 days long and HEAVY!!! Plus that 2 of my cousins had it. (Its actually hereditary I didn't know that.) The doctor told me that birth control is used in mild cases to help conception---GREAT! But because mine went so long being untreated, it now has gotten much worse, and now is no longer mild... In order to control my period I have had an ablation and to stop getting pregnant had my tubes removed.. I also lost 100 lbs, buy have gained 39 back, but Imma lose it. I did it once I'll do it again.

Sorry for the wall of text... :P I'm just happy to find others like me.

Hi I just found out that I have PCOS...also looking for people who understand. I lead an active and healthy lifestyle and I can not lose weight...people are constantly giving me unwanted and unessisary advise about my weight (maybe you should do this or not eat that or blah blah blah....) I'm beyond frustrated and just want a little support from people who understand the frustration im feeling about all of this. I'm going to add you on here.

I found out that I have PCOS last year and I'm taking medicine but my doctor wants me to lose weight because I need to be healthy before getting pregnant again. I need motivation from people like me to do this. Please add me
