PCOS

Raises hand as well. I was diagnosed about 10 years ago, after I adopted my first child. Went on birth control (to control the bleeding all the time periods) and Metformin. Went off birth control and got knocked up with my 2nd child about 2 months later!!

Losing weight is brutal and so slow.

PCOS here too :frown: I have the hardest time losing weight. Please add me!

I, too, get frustrated with the inactivity of the established PCOS groups as well... let me know if you do start a group because I feel like the interaction and discussions would be beneficial to most!

i have it too, you all can add me if you like.

I am Infertile due to PCOS sadly. If anyone wants to add me feel free! PCOS sets us all some challenges, so having some support would be awesome.

Me, too. I had to loose 50 lbs to have my daughter. Unfortunately I gain it all back and them some. So I am starting all over again. Let me know if you get a group started. The other two groups don't seem to be as active.

Girls, I feel and understand your pain. My DD was conceived right after I stopped the pill. I was totally blindsided by a m/c and then PCOS. I am determined to conceive again and this is a huge part of my plan.

I thought i wanted another one (and my DH still does) but my daughter has been NASTY lately. Like completely ugly. Love her more than words could ever express and i am SOOOOO greatful that the lord blessed me with her but she is for sure a test. Back talking, screaming, tattling on her dad when hes done nothing wrong just trying to get him in trouble. She tells random strangers that we hit her and dont feed her and its just insane. Shes started hitting the family pets for no reason too. Im hoping its just part of her being 4 or maybe because shes an only child -.- Then theres that deep down part of me thats hoping i drop 50 lbs and get a positive pregnancy test :P But Im just gonna do my thing, drop the weight and if the good Lord above thinks I can handle 2 kids then Ill just put my faith in him as I do with all my trials and go with the flow. :P

I have PCOS and it sucks

Moi aussi!

I was diagnosed quite early - at 14YO or so - (the benefit of having a mom who's a doctor!), so I'm well-versed.

I don't tolerate metformin well, so haven't taken it in years. Right now, I only take birth control and Androcur for my PCOS.

I've got PCOS too. It's left me infertile and I need to get the weight off to have the treatment I want to help me have a family. I'd love to hear from people who understand where I'm coming from, feel free to add me!

PCOS played a factor in me gaining 80 pounds in a year and a half in my low/mid twenties. And it is making it very difficult to lose weight. Any PCOS buddies would be much appreciated! Feel free to add me.

I have it too, and am trying to get my BMI down to be accepted for IVF treatment, I've added the first few of you guys but could only add 5, the rest of you please free to add me as I've actually never talked to anyone else with PCOS and think it would be a big help to me, and hopefully I can return the favour, thanks

Not PCOS, but endometriosis and adenomyosis. I feel your pain. Good luck!

I have PCOS, diagnosed because of secondary infertility - conceived my 1st and 2nd kids quite easily because I was on a low carb diet (because low carb was all the rage back then) and I was (unknowingly) apparently controlling the PCOS through diet and exercise. Tried 18 months to concieve #3, through charting realized I wasn 't even ovulating, and finally went to a RE, who diagnosed me and told me to go back to low carb eating and prescribed metformin. 6 months and 10 pounds later, finally concieved #3. But losing weight and sticking to low carb to lose weight after pregnancy has SUCKED this time - probably doesn't help that I'm over 35 and have three kids to run after and work full time. But, trying not to make excuses, wanna make this work!
