Hi!

I am trying to get my PCOS in check (as well as my weight!) and the best way to do this is through diet and excercise. Just wondering if anyone else is battling PCOS here so we can have a support system?

    I was diagnosed with PCOS last year (at 16 years old). You can add me if you'd like. It definitely makes us harder to lose weight, but it's been easier for me since I've gone on LoEstrin (birth control)

    Me too. There are a few threads on it if you do a search. I've been doing well here - part of me is thinking I might have used my PCOS as an excuse as to WHY I couldn't lose weight. Since starting here, I've had no problem losing so far...

    I was diagnosed in my teens as well! I just went on LoEstrin 24 FE 2 weeks ago. I hope it goes well for me. How are you doing with it?

    It does sound familiar!

    I tried to do the metformin last month but it wrecked my stomach so that's when I decided I needed to focus on my daily food intake and exercise. I have an appointment with a reproductive endocrinologist in 2 weeks to see if he has any more ideas. I have one little boy too. We want to wait a little longer to have number 2 so we are just trying to preserve what fertility we can!

    Oh and I apparently maxed out my ability to add friends in 10 minutes, lol. Feel free to add me!!

    I was diagnosed about 3 yrs ago and thought that taking metformin was just going to "fix" the problem, since the docs finally figured out what the "problem" was. I definitely know I have been using it as more of an excuse than it is. Yes, it has made losing weight harder and gaining it infinitely easier, but I wasn't really doing anything to stop it.

    Good luck, ladies...we CAN and WILL make it happen for ourselves.
