    I've got it! Unfortunately my mom who is an OBGYN nurse practitioner figured it out back when I was in hs and didn't tell me (guess she didn't want to stress me out?? grrr). Either way, she did have me go on birth control. When I figured out I had it via the internetz in college, I started going on metformin which I have been on and off since. I do recommend the metformin along with a healthy low-carb ish diet and exercise. I've lost over 40 pounds altogether and have about 40 more to lose. Let's do it together : )

    I was diagnosed in 2012 after my weight started to balloon out of control. No matter what I did I would gain 3-5 pounds per week. My PCOS is accompanied by insulin resistance and high testosterone. Stress doesnt help either. Once I found out, I changed my diet to low carb, low calorie, low GI. I added exercise a few times a week and the weight started coming off. as of the beginning of 2015 I have lost 56 pounds and also had found out I was pregnant. Unfortunately it was MC, but my doctor was stunned I conceived without meds. A blood panel showed that the insulin and testosterone are now in perfect normal range. She credits the healthy lifestyle and weight loss for that.
    Add me if you would like. PCOS can be a pain, but having "cysters" standing by you helps!!

    Hi girls, I am in same boat, was diagnosed last year - after two years of unexplained weight gain, hair loss, terrible monthly cycles. I have always been within healthy weight range but now I'm finding weight loss extremely slow even with exercise. Me and my husband also been ttc for almost a year. Not on any meds or anything for the pcos. I have a holiday on 26th April would love to shed half stone or more. Started back to gym today and done an insanity class, going try to do 4 classes per week. Good luck to Yous all on your healthy journey x

    Hi ladies! I have been battling PCOS for upwards of 10 years now. Until recently my weight was relatively manageable and I had even managed to lose 30lbs. Recently something changed and my weight started ballooning and I gained ALL the weight back in a period of 6 weeks. Talk about frustrating! I'm back at aggressively tracking my diet and activity level and would love to give and get support from you all.
