    Hey Kay! I've been in the same boat for 4 years now... Was oficially diagnosed with PCOS in 2008, diagnosed with Hypothyroidsim in 2010. I've been trying to lose weight for a year now and have shed 30lbs and gained 12 back over the holidays. Which I am still fighting to get off (as you can see) ... My goal this year is 70lbs. In hopes I can go back to seeing a RE by the end of the year! ...

    Hello kayze! There is an entire chat board of people who are trying to conceive called "Fit for Future Families". I am just one of the several women who is ttc. I also have PCOS and have been trying to have a baby for over 7 years. So come join us. There is a lot of support and information! Let me know if you have any questions!

    Hi Kay, I was doing infertility treatments for over 2 years before being diagnosed with PCOS in 2010. Once I got the diagnosis I started eating healthier and exercising and lost 38lbs by myself. I could not get anymore off so I started a local weigh loss program and I’ve lost another 12.5lbs for a total of 50.5lbs so far. I found even though I’m not diabetic Metformin helps me to get the weight off. The weight loss and Metformin helped me to have a regular cycle all on my own for the first time. So encouraging! I’ve found with PCOS a low carb diet is the best diet to be on and lots of water. Good luck to you!!!
