Is there anyone out there with a positive PCOS story?

    One of my girlfriends has PCOS, she fluctuates occasionally (pretty much only when she isn't really paying attention to dieting) but definitely is able to lose AND looking quite fantastic right now if I might add! She has definitely lost at least 50lbs. She and her husband are still trying to have children but she recently had to go on BC to regulate everything menses-wise. Good luck!

    I just want to put my one half a cent in... I have PCOS and was dignosed about five years ago.... I wonderously had my daughter before my PCOS dignoses. I know it is possible to have another child and I have a good amount of weight to loss. I honestly hate taking my metphormine.... but I take it to keep my blood sugar spikes in check. I don't take it for the ovulation pluses.... cause I don't do that. I know once I'm in balance hormones and blood sugar and weight I is possible. I just wanted you all to know I had my daughter with my PCOS with no assistance from Dr's so it is possible. :wink:
    I agree! I had both of my kids before my PCOS diagnosis and they are only 13 months apart. I was in my 2nd trimester with my son before I found out because I didn't hardly have my cycle anyway so i didn't notice when I didn't have one.

    I do have a question though... does anyone else with this diagnosis have problems with swelling? I swell so bad from head to toe and the dr claims he dont know why. Even since I have cut my sodium i'm still swelling!
