Hi everyone, I was diagnosed yesterday with PCOS after years of doctor's not knowing why I did not have my cycles. All of the doctors in the past just threw progesterone pills at me to induce my cycle. I am 29 years old and married to the best husband, he has been so supportive throughout this whole ordeal. I was…
I posted this in another group and haven't got any answers.Someone on my Pcos group on FB said that if I am working out and for example eat 1200 calories a day then say I burn 200 from walking that I should not eat the calories back cause then I won't lose weight and its like I did nothing.

Hey just wondering what others are doing for a workout (getting heart rate 135 and up) and for how long? I am looking to mix things up so I don't get bored. Right now I alternate between 1.

Hi, Unfortunately my doctor does not want me to take a hormone/birth control. I was wondering if anyone has heard of or taken Chaste Tree Berry or Vitex?
