  • I used to work with a couple of women who shared in the plight of PCOS - they are cousins. The one spent a fortune TTC and never had any luck for more than 10 years.

With this pregnancy, I was doing fitness boot camp 3 days a week, running 2 days a week and hiking 2 days a week - I had lost 27 pounds in 5 months…

  • I have PCOS and Type 2 Diabetes. What has worked best for me is combining the Low Glycemic Index diet (a lifestyle change for me) and monitoring my carb/fiber intake. I love the Low Glycemic Index diet because I can eat things that I would typically have to avoid if I was just counting carbs. However, I have a rule that I…
