in Introduce Yourself
I've had PCOS since I was 11 years old but I don't really know anyone else in my personal life who has it so it'd be nice to meet some ladies on here with the same health issues so we can motivate and support eachother :)

I'm 24 from Belfast by the way xo

    Hi! I have PCOS, too. The doctor just called with my hormone blood levels and wants to put me on progesterone. I'm hoping this will help jumpstart my weight loss. I am from Charlotte, NC. :smile:

    Hi, I just found out I have PCOS. I’ve been on a weight loss journey to help with trying to conceive and to just be healthier. I go in for blood work tomorrow. I’ve done some research on PCOS and I’ve already started the low carb diet over a month ago so at least I am on the right track for that. Not sure what type of PCOS I have tho, maybe blood work determines that. I am originally from Charlotte, NC but reside just outside of Charleston, SC.

    Hi,

    I’ve got PCOS, and trying for a baby. I’m 37, and found my symptoms improved and cycles have been more regular as I’ve got older.

    I’m usually ok at controlling my diet and exercising, but I’ve been comfort eating since my father died in October, and have put on 16 pounds. The weight gain has triggered acne again, and made my cycles longer.

    Sugar is my nemesis! I have no willpower around chocolate.

    Lovely to meet you all.

    I have PCOS too! I was diagnosed almost exactly 3 years ago!

    Currently implementing a LC Diet and taking metformin and seeing a fertility specialist in Tennessee as we are hoping to start a family soon!

    Feel free to add me!

    I was diagnosed with PCOS at 15 yo and let it define me for a long time. Until I started trying to start a family. I used MFP 5 yrs ago to lose weight. I lost 100lbs and was able to have my rainbow/miracle baby without issues.
    Now I am back to lose weight to keep up with her.
    It won’t be easy (but anything worth a damn is hard) but YOU are worth it!!
    Best of luck!!!

    Hey cysters! We've been ttc for 4 years. Just started a low carb "lifestyle" and adding more exercise to my life after a huge health scare and realizing that I had to get my health in track if I ever wanna be unmedicated and start a family! Best of luck with yall's journey, ladies! And feel free to add me.
