Need PCOS friends

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

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....

Hi all. I too have Pcos. I got pregnant naturally in 2008 and been trying like heck to give him a little brother or sister. I just can not get pregnant.

I am on adipex right now my doctor put me on it about 2 weeks ago, its defenitley helping with weight lose, and I haven't had any other symptoms.

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 have PCOS and currently have a group as well as blog for beachbody users with PCOS. I am blogging my journey with PCOS and my weight loss using Turbofire and shakeology. Please feel free to join if you are currently doing a program or have question.

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!

Hey I have pcos too. trying to lose ~20 lbs. add me !

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!

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 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.

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.

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
