pcos friends

I joined MFP quite a while ago but didn't really use it until May. I waited to introduce myself until I knew I would stick with it. This the first time I have ever taken weight loss seriously. I have a reason now. My husband and I will be doing IVF in about 1 year and I really need to get myself in the best possible shape for the best chance at success. I would really love to meet more people who have been through the struggle of infertility or those with a lot of weight to lose that are in need of a friend.

    Hello. I too struggle with my weight but I have about 100 pounds to lose before I get down to where I would like to be. I have struggled with infertility since puberty. I have been to fertility clinics and have tried different things when I was smaller but nothing worked. Now that I am overweight I would like to lose some weight so hopefully I can start trying again. Add me if you want!

    hi, I conceived with my daughter 9 yrs ago and have been trying for a brother or sister for her since. I was recently diagnosed with PCOS and have had three miscarriages. I know i already have a child but i really want another before im too old. I am hoping that by losing 100lbs and getting my health back I may be able to conceive and carry a baby to full term. You can add me if you want :) happy to offer support x

    Hey Hunni.

    I have PCOS and have done for about 16 years ( I'm 26 and started my periods at 7 years old), I get all of the nasty symptoms!

    I will spur you on every step! I myself don't have kids, but wish you and anyone with this horrid disease all the luck in the world :)
