Add me if you'd like. I'm a fellow sister cyster.

Good idea. I know when I was on the shot I went from being kind and loving to this person my husband said he wanted to divorce if I didn't do something out my mood swings. Hormones are a major cause of being off kilter if you're normally pretty even keel.

Are you on birth control? If so, maybe you should change it. I've been on certain kinds that made me a tyrant, when generally I'm extremely pleasant and laid-back.

I'm going to dig my heels in and get things accomplished at this appt. If I'm just brushed off or told I don't need such and such, I'm going to ask my family doctor to refer me elsewhere.

I honestly don't think so. I had to get referred to the doctor I have now, and my family doctor (was the only one remotely close accepting new patients) is pretty equally useless. I'm just frustrated that I'll be trying for a long time knowing that I have something wrong with me and without an easily prescribed medication…

Feel free to add me :) I love dry wit and British humor and I'm pretty much a 15 year old nerdy boy in a woman's body. I love comics, science fiction, table top games, video games...basically the whole lot. I don't know if that makes me a nerd or a geek, but I love the fact that I now don't care what people think of me and…

That's amazing! I have a problem with binging too, so I can understand how hard it is to stick with it and aim for success.

Thanks, guys. Usually I do eat a lot better, but this week has just been a struggle to eat decently at all as I've been trying really hard to stay away from my old routine of "feel depressed, stuff your face til you puke". I do use a measuring cup to measure things out, and I use the calorie count on the back of whatever…

Whoops. Fixed.

You'll get better information than what I'll give you but what I understand is that you need at least 1200 calories to simply have your body function (pump blood, breathe, etc.). If you were to eat 1200 calories and then work off 300, you should still eat those calories back to make sure your body won't start shutting…

I've got PCOS too and am recently diagnosed and still trying to come to terms with what it really means. Could also you use some friends so we can all motivate and help each other out.

My only real suggestion, which is a bit TMI, is to plan ahead when you're going to have sex, and also to plan ahead and "scratch and itch" beforehand so that you're kind of forced to get in the mood. It kind of kills the romance, but it's better than being having him beg for sex and being constantly turned down. I don't…

I'm in the same boat. Honestly, if I never had to have sex again I'd be perfectly okay with it. I just find it so frustrating because I don't think about sex, I don't really ever "scratch an itch" and I actually get annoyed most of the time when my husband tries to initiate sex. I feel bad about myself because of this…

Hi Amanda, Feel free to add me. I'm new to learning about insulin resistance too. I was informally diagnosed by a fertility specialist in June, and I've had blood work done that I haven't been told about yet, so we'll see what the results are in November when I go back to see her. Hope you find all the support and…

Hey, I have PCOS too and I want/need to lose the weight before I start trying to get pregnant. Feel free to add me if you need some motivation or advice. :)

Hey there, I'm in the same boat as you. I want to lose 30-50 pounds before I start trying, as I'd really like the Clomid or whatever I'm given to actually have a chance with a lot less weight on me. I also don't want to be the fat mom (like my mother was/is) that can't do things with their kids because they're so out of…

I just found out I have PCOS a few weeks ago and could always use some friends for support (as I'm sure all of us could). I've got about 60 pounds to lose to reach my goal weight, and so far I'm down 6 pounds in month and a half. Feel free to add me, ladies.
