I'm sorry you'r feeling bumbed. I know what you mean about needing o be upset I feel like that sometimes as well. Even if you do tell people you have PCOs and fertility issues they don't understand you're feelings about it, they think it should be easy to have hope that you'll have a baby. I have times where I m upset too…

I'm sorry that finding Sim I'm sorry that finding something that works for you. I hope you are able to,find something there is a thread about natural treatments. Maybe you'll find something.

Hello, Welcome to the group and welcome to life with PCOS. I myself was just diagnosed about two months ago and have been researching and making lifestyle changes. I was trying to conceive with no luck for 8 months when I was diagnosed. Now I am on Metformin and if we haven't conceived in another 4 months I will be going…

Consider yourself lucky that you can eat like that and still loose weight. But as for your question there could be a number of things going on here. 1) They could all have something wrong. I was always trying to loose weight but always had troubles, constently hungry no matter what I ate and then I found out I had PCOS and…

I am on Metformin, and I definantly suggest taking it with foods. I had started out for 2 weeks on 1/2 the dose I am on now to wean into it I took it at breakfast and then when I went to my full dose I take 1/2 of it at breakfast and the other 1/2 with dinner. I found that I had digestion issues with it so I started taking…

Has your doctor put you on Metformin or anything? From all of the research I have done you do NOT get PCOS because you are overweight but because of PCOS and Insulin resistance you can be overweight because your body doesn't process carbs correctly. I would see another DR because if they are just telling you to loose…

Welcome to the group! I'm 31 years old and I was just recently in the past 2 months diagnosed with PCOS. I had always had issues with my weight, blood preasure, heavy periods, and then when I was in my mid 20's I started to get hair on my chin and under my chin. DR would always yell at me for my weight and tell me to loose…

Good luck with everything! You actualy have some of the same goals as me. I also am wanting a baby we though have not yet conceived so have not had to deal with the heart break of misscarages as you. I am so sorry you had to go through that. Other than the same goal same starting weight and close to same goal weights. I…

I was only diagnosed with PCOS 2 months ago, but I have lost weight in the past and gained it all back in the past I had found that eating low carb and watching my sugar intake worked the best for me. In the 2 months since being diagnosed I have lost 27 lbs eating very clean and watching my carbs and sugar. I have…

I have heard from many sources, My Dr who's specialty is in Nutrition, one of the trainers at the gym who's a nutritionalist, and trough Weight and Wellness center that Fat is GOOD, Fat helps you absorb nutritiants without fat the nutritions will just flush through your system. Those fats that you have listed are good…

I wish I had some advise for you on this one but I've only been on metformin for a little under 2 months. But there are some threads on the group about natural treatments check those threads out maybe you will find some ideas that will work for you. Good Luck, I know how frustrating it is to try to loose weight and it just…

I had discovered for me that MFP was way off MFP had me at 1290 calories and after an assessment at my gym discovered I needed to be closer to 1700. I would be carefull about lowering it because you may slow your metabolism. I'd suggest to keep at te 1600 calories but weigh and measure your food closely you may discover…

I never had the issues with my cycles I just had extreemly heavy cycles. They were not as heavy when I was on birth control but then when I went off of the Nuva Ring (I have high blood presure and did not know at the time that I had PCOS) my cylces became 40 day cycles. And stayed that way until last month which was my…

I agree with the Skinnytaste.com comment. Love that website she has tons of healthy recipe's for just about anything! I love the Chicken Enchilada Soup recipe. It's one of my staples to my diet.

I know that this may sound crazy, but it could be that you are not eating enough! I know that MFP can be very off on what you need to eat. If I do the settlings on MFP it says I sould be eating 1290 Calories but after doing an assessment at my gym I discovered that I needed to eat 1700 calories. Another thing that could be…

I've never had the non period issues but have had the issues of extreemly heavey periods and Longer cycle types. But when I have been less heavey I would notice big improvements on my period, more regular of a flow and more like a 30 day cycle.

Hmm I'll have to check this out when I have a working computer again at home.

That's great! Last month I felt simular Since TTC I had never been so happy to get my period because it came closer to day 30 than day 40 like it had been coming!

I just wanted to congratulate you! I haven't been successful yet so I do not have any tips to give you but I do understand how hard you tried to concieve this little mircle and wanted to give you that congratulations!

Welcome! I'm a former WW member myself and I lost a lot on it and then gained it all back so I stopped going. I actually did the oposite as you I started really gaining weight when I wasn't on birthcontrol I lost weight better being on birth control. Are you doing any other kind of medication to help with the PCOS? Good…

I was also diagnosed with PCOS just last month. I have been trying to eat clean, Do you get enough protien? I eat Eggs, veggetables and Fruits I try to eat at least 3 servings of vegetables to every serving of Fruit, and I eat meat, lots of chicken, some pork, some fish, even lamb, and then my grains come from Quinoa,…

Thanks for the post I enjoyed listening to her. I never knew she had it either, I think that it shows how you don't need to be silent about it because you don't know who you can help by speaking out. i'm glad to hear about the clean eating I have been trying to eat cleaner and if you eat clean you eat alot less to no…

That is so unfair, are you able to get insurance through your work (if you are not self employed or a housewife) or your husband's work.? I am so sorry that you are running into such road blocks.

Welcome to the Group! You can add me as a friend if you would like. I am TTC but ultimatly we all want to control our PCOS, lose weight and improve our health.

I'm the same way, and my family especially my mom don't know how to handle my emotions with trying to concieve.

There is a book that I have found in google searches called the PCOS Diet, I am looking into getting it. But I currently eat low on the glycemic index everything I find on it is to eat Low Carb and a friend that I just learned who has PCOS and has known she has had it for over 10 years said she always feels better when she…

Welcome the group! I am TTC and was just diagnosised about 1 1/2 months ago. I am just on Metformin for now but if i am not pregnant in about 4 1/2 months my DR is going to put me on clomid. I am trying with my first child.

Hi, I had just found out myself about a month ago that I ahve PCOS, I was put on Metformin, I am insulin resistant with high bloodpreasure, not high cholesterol but I do have very low Good Cholesterol. It is hard finding out that you have something wrong that causes things to be harder for you, like loosing weight and…

Thanks for this post, I am thinking that once we have a baby (trying right now) I may have to talk with my DR about more natural treatments. I just want to do what I can so I can have a baby a soon as possible.

I hear you there ith DR's not being educated on it. I would always get yelled at about my weight, and I have High bloodpreasure and figured I had High Bloodpreasure because of my weight never did they stop once to think that maybe my weight and High bloodpreasure were just symptoms of the same condition and that instead of…
