    Check out the ladies on P.C.O.SIS There are a lot of different and varied solutions, but a number of commonalities in our diets. Lower-low carb, low sugar. You'll have to decide what you think is best for you and what is possible for you to accomplish. I would also recommend asking a dietitian/nutritionist and/or your doctor about what diet would be best for you.

    Thanks so much .. gives me hope to hear that. Ive had 3 miscarriages and had tonnes of tests the only thing they can explain is that because of the pcos you are at a higher risk of miscrriage and to keep trying ... my chances could increase if i lose weight .... so fingers crossed I get my blessing soon :smile:

    I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2009 and i was able to get pregnant. I read that taking metformin in the first trimester can help decrease the chances of having a miscarriage. My ob/gyn approved me taking it while pregnant and I was able to carry to full term.

    Hi! :) I'm 23 and two years ago I was diagnosed with PCOS also. They're unsure how I have it because it wasn't hereditary for me but believe I've had it since at least 14. I was told I would most likely need help getting pregnant when the time comes. I'm not huge, but my doctor says it would do me some good to be healthier and lose some weight. I also have a stomach ulcer that measures the size of a golf ball and they believe I've had that since about 15. Personally I'd love to get down to 150. So I would love to know any tips as well! Thank you in advance!

    Hi ladies! I successfully got pregnant on metformin..had a healthy baby boy but gained about 65 pounds during pregnancy. He just turned 1 last week and I am still 45 pounds heavier than I was post baby...looking to start metformin again and get on track with low carb/low sugar! I would love to share ideas & motivation with others who have PCOS!

    Before I got pregnant I lost about 45 pounds with the help of metformin, working out & weight watchers... I need to do that again!
