I am on my 3rd weeks of low carb and im seeing great success (unofficially doing atkins). ive already lost 15 pounds! I wont go any higher than 25 and try and stay under 20 (net my friends)... anyhow i am always up for support and im real good at encouraging ppl so add me anyone if you would like!

Dear PCOS, Thank you for keeping me from having a baby, thank you for keeping me from loosing weight, thank you for the nasty whiskers, thank you for the lack of periods most girls would be grateful for that, but i am not. Every month my period doesnt show up it reminds me of just how effed up my body is... thank you for…

I too am suffering with PCOS :( I was diagnosed with it in 2005 but i am sure i have had the symptoms for much longer. I am looking for all of the support i can get, I always have questions, I have slacked and not educated myself as much as i should have all of these years... Feel free to add me as a friend any of you.…

I fail... got subway on the way home from work today :(... why do i have to pass so many fast food joints on the way home...

You totally didnt sound like a know it all. Im glad someone knows lol! I get a little overwhelmed with all of the doctor talk and then i loose all of what they told me, so sometimes i have to "re-ask" the question lol. This last time when we did the IUI they did do an ultrasound to see if i ovulated and i did. But with the…

Thats funny you mention this. I was watching Chelsie lately the other night and her traditionalist was on the show as her guest. I thought she looked really good with the weight she had lost and how tone she was. So I ordered his book called "Body Confidence" and its all about eating something every 2-3 hours... I CANT…

I dont think that there is a speciifc test to tell how long ago you dropped the egg, but he said by the number of cysts that i had on my ovaries he could tell it had been a long time. Does that make sense?? Like i said its all so confusing. Ok so with my IUI i had 2 follicles which is ok i think? did things just not line…

Hey ladies i know its been FOREVER since i have posted anything (i wonder if any of you even remember me lol)... Anyhow i have just been focussing on myself and trying (always trying) to lose weight. I am headed to hawaii next week so i have been trying to look somewhat decent for that. a little background before i ask my…

Just popping in... Its been forever since i have posted. After 4 months of not getting preggers with clomid i changed to an RE. Had our appt today and if all goes well and i ovulate next week like i should then we are going to be doing an IUI next weekend... I am super excited and i little nervous as well. I hope i…

I am using ovulation predictor tests but have never gotten a postive (i heard that was common for ppl with PCOS) the only reason i know i ovulated were the symptoms i was having and then the day 21 progesterone blood test that they do. I am taking metformin as well, 1000mg's... We bought and used pre-seed this past month…

Hey ladies i too must apologize foe being MIA i dont really have an excuse other than being really busy at work... and maybe feeling a little discouraged. I have ovulated 3 months in a row (with clomid) and i am STILL not pregnant. AF is going to show any day now. Its just hard because for the past 8 years i always…

Well i am quite proud of myself... I am 1 pound away from being out of the 190's and since feb i have lost 26 pounds!!! I only at 2 pieces of fun sized halloween candy. So i feel like i am making good progress!!! Not pregnant this month, starting clomid again tomorrow... welcome newcomers!!!

Wow thank you everyone for your input. i totally appreciate it!!! i will repot back in about a week when i return...

I LOVE this book.. Serious its like my new BIBLE!!!

Today i did flirty girl fitness for 25 minutes before i gave up because i was just too tired. I have never really exercised while AF is here and i dint realize the fatigue it brings on... My problem is that once it starts getting hard i stop because im like ok its getting hard now which means i have worked out enough for…

I have always wanted to do Zumba but i seriously have no coordination so i am too nervous to go and make a foo out of myself. I do have the flirty girl fitness dvds that are super fun and my DH enjoys watching me do them ;);)... Ive heard good things about curves as well. I just with they had one in my town that i live in.…

I think that it is important to remember that just because your arent "actively TTC" right now, that doesnt mean that when you are you wont have a hard time getting pregnant. I think that it is so important to be aware of the possibilities. So the way i see it is all the education i can get will only benefit me wether it…

Someone should start a TTC thread only then. Someone suggested this thread to me because i was needing support with TTC i felt like there are SO many other threads on here for weight loss support. So thats why i came here. I kind of think that it is silly that some people got offended and emailed you. But good on you for…

AF has been INSANE this time. Which makes sense because i Dr told me if you ovulate your period more then likely will be full blown (like when i was a teenager), he said its when you dont ovulate that your periods are kind of light and come and go... So i kind of expected it to be bad, but its been a long time since i…

Hah apparently thats not our problem lol. My dr said we were having too much sex. you know what they say "too much of a good thing can be bad" lol. Cant i just find a happy medium ;)

AF came today :(... Better luck this next round i hope!

I am feeling a little more tired then usual. My boobs hurt and am feeling nausea. Not sure though dont want to be thinking to hard about it so that every little thing that i feel makes me think that i am pregnant...

i am trying hard to not go and get a test. Its taken a lot of self control... esp now that i am having what i think are preg symptoms...

Just wanted to update you ladies real quick... Today is day 31 and still no AF. I have had cramps that are as bad as they are when i am on my period but nothing shows up. I keep going to the bathroom to check but there is ALWAYS nothing. My boobs are totally sore and my chest has gotten bigger by a half an inch. Going in…

I re-read my post and i left out a number that would help it make more sense. He said he can go on with our normal sex life until about day 10 hold off on having sex for maybe 3-4 days (i should ovulate then) and then have sex when i get a positive ovulation test...

So i went to my dr apt today and my dr said we were having sex too much LOL... We did the BD every other day from day 10-20... He told me starting day dont dont have sex until i get a postive ovulation test. So i thought that was funny cant blame us for trying right? and it was fun!!! So we didnt do a blood test but he…

Ok that brittle idea is the best idea i have ever heard! You are so clever and NAUGHTY now i want to make some :( and its not even my problem lol... Ok so i was just taking a glance at the calender and i figured out that i will be ovulating next month while DH and I are on our cruise... (that is AF comes within the next…

thank you that does give me some hope... I will try and have a better attitude about it...

Well its CD 27 and i just tested. It came out Negative. This is really hard for me to wrap my hands around because i NEVER mentally prepared myself to ovulate. I just assumed i wouldnt since clomid never worked in the past. So i was prepared to not ovulate. So then i find out that i DID ovulate and i had no clue how to…

I am on CD 27!!!
