  • Friday I tend to treat myself with a bagel or a croissant or a chocolate bar. I make sure I stay within my goals for the day. If I didn't do that I would binge eat and would still be where I was a year ago.
  • When I put my hands on my hips I can actually feel my hip bones and I was able to run 3 km without stopping.
  • I am extreme as well, I log and weigh everything I possibly can. I even have a food scale at work. It is working for me so I will continue being "extreme".
  • Mine is supportive to a point. It has brought out his insecurities. He makes the odd comment about my meal prep, weighing all my food, the time I am spend at the gym and not drinking alcohol (it has been a freezing cold winter and the last thing I want to do is crack open an ice cold beer.) He knows I have made a lifestyle…
  • Hard to pick just one so here are my 3. 1. Adjusting my piss poor boohoo my life sucks cause I am chubby attitude (not a habit but I had to change it) 2. using a food scale 3. logging everything.

  • I gave up on doctors ages ago. I was sick of being brushed to the side and they only ever wanted to put me on metformin and birth control which I was on in the past and neither helped me. I started seeing a naturopath 6 months ago and I can't believe how much she has helped. I have high prolactin and she is the one who…
  • If your taking Metformin just make sure you are taking a B12 vitamin. B vitamin is very important for woman with PCOS but especially if you are on Metformin since it tends to cause a deficiency in B12.
  • Lorna Vanderhaeghe has a website www.hormonehelp.com that has been super helpful to me. She has done a ton of research on pcos and hormones. I first heard about inositol a year ago and it was from listening to her on the radio. She is based in Vancouver and is so knowledgable. If you have some free time check out her…

  • I have been on myo for 5 months and have had amazing results. I take it as a powder form and put it in my protein shake unless I want something sweet than I mix it with water since it has a pleasant sweet taste. I pay 50.00 Canadian for a bottle that lasts me 4 months. I get it from my naturopath. Starting myo was the best…
  • I have been on inositol for 4 months now. So happy my naturopath put me on it. I have noticed huge changes in my skin. I would have huge break outs and super clogged pores. People are actually commenting on how great my skin looks. I have it in powder form and put it in my protein shake in the morning. I haven't noticed to…
  • I don't know much about Provera. I just started the promoflo 3 weeks ago. She put me on it so my cycles would be closer together. I have been seeing her for just over 3 months and have had 2 cycles but they were 56 days between. I am waiting for my TOM to start.....it can come any time now. I take it every day except when…
  • She has me on a testorerone reducer called Testo-Quench, and vitex. The vitex is in a pill form, in the past I was on a vitex tea but I find the pill form more concentrated. I am also on a tincture called promoflo to help induce periods. Along with that I take milk thistle and I have just started licorice root to help with…
  • I have been seeing a naturopath for 3 months now. Accupuncture along with herbal medications has been amazing. I have seen more results this way than being on metformin etc. Since seeing her I have had 2 cycles in a row, this is after going 6 months without. The best thing she has put me on is inositol. My skin has cleared…
  • I am in the same boat. I want to lose 40 pounds. It is such a hard road and unless you have PCOS you have no idea how tough it is to deal with. The weight, the mood swings, the depression, and the "best" part the lovely unwanted chinny chin hair. My best friend (who resembles Barbie) is getting married next August and when…
  • Hi there, I am new here as well. I was told I had pcos back in 2007. Took me from 2007 till now to stop feeling sorry for myself and do something about it.
