In short yes. You can track your basal body temperature, cervical mucous, and cervical positions. The book Taking Charge of your Fertility gives an in depth description of how to do this. If you're looking for something fast and free you can go to the website fertility friend. They have a free web course that explains it.…

Ugh. I will never forget the day the girl at the pharmacy gushed "Congratulations you're pregnant!" un, no. And like you I was desperate to be pregnant. But, don't give up hope. We'll be here to support you! Pregnancy is possible with PCOS. My OB says at ten percent bodyweight lost you have a much higher chance of…

I was diagnosed in 2009 after gaining 50lbs in one year. I didn't get my period for 9 months. I saw my regular doctor who said I was nearly 30 and probably had a slowing metabolism. Finally went to the OBGYN for help getting pregnant. He figured it out pretty quickly. I was prescribed metformin. Been taking metformin off…

I have two boys both conceived with clomid. We tried clomid again for number 3, but it didn't work. I ovulated once, but didn't get pregnant and the other cycles I didn't even ovulate. My OB said the only other thing I can do is lose weight and exercise. I believe it! As far as the weight and PCOS link it's a but like the…

I went gluten free after a bout with Lyme disease and a long course of antibiotics. It worked miracles for me in other areas, but not for my PCOS. It turns out that I am allergic to wheat. I was getting a puffy red face, horrible stomach pain and swollen joints. In 24 hours those symptoms disappeared and reappear if I…

I also have PCOS. Was diagnosed after gaining 50 lbs while following weight watchers and not having a period for 9 months. That was in 2009. I have had 2 children since then (both needed clomid to be conceived). We wanted a 3rd, but this time even clomid isn't helping me to ovulate. My doctor said to focus on weight loss…

Down 2 this week! I guess no one is posting on here, but I love seeing my ticker, so I'm going to anyway!

I always have a goal to limit carbs, but my sweet tooth seems to get the better of me! I have done Atkins in the past and kept the carbs under 25. While doing that I ate a lot of salad, eggs, and chicken. But, it wasn't realistic for me. During pregnancy I had gestational diabetes and met with a nutritionist. She said that…

Down 1.8. That's 5 in 2 weeks. Very exciting for me to be at my lowest weight since 2008.

I am down 3.2.

Couch to 5k runner. I was almost done week 6. But, I am slow at it and having some knee pain. Today I can choose to back up and do an earlier week or stick with where I am and be okay with slow. The problem is that today's schedule is to run for 21 minutes with no break. I am in a horrible mood. I don't know if I can make…

String cheese! 80 calories and a big helping of protein. I am a sucker for carrots and ranch. Most of the bars have a lot of sugar so I try to steer clear, but I have used the Atkins brand bars. Low sugar and high protein. My mom swears by keeping hard boiled eggs ready to go in the fridge, but I am terrible at peeling…

I am also in Pennsylvania. I have been married for 4 years and have 2 sons. My ODS is named Jonas and he turns 2 at the end of the month. Milo is 3 months today. I have had weight issues since puberty, but was always able to lose weight fairly easy. Then it just stopped. After my wedding I was On weight watchers and…
