PCOS and Ovulation
This may sound like an odd question to most women. But how do you know if you have ovulated? I have looked up several different methods to find out plus when I was going through marriage counseling we learned two different natural family planning methods. But when learning about these I don't recognize any of the signs. As…

Off of Birth Control
Good morning ladies, I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 18 (I'm 23 now) and I was immediately put on birth control. I have always hated being on it and though my time of the month has been more regular it was still never completely right.

PCOS and Birth Control
Hey Ladies, Have any of you been on BC to control your PCOS? If so are you still on it and if I get off of mine what can I expect? Before they put me on BC my periods were really irregular but more like 3 months in between and then 3 in a row a week apart all year. It was kind of a mix between not at all and way too much!…

How much water is too much water?
Hi Ladies, I have seen so many posts about making sure you are drinking enough water....but I am wondering if there is a point where you are drinking too much?

Has anyone heard of/had success with Tabata?
My mom just found this and we are thinking about trying it in the mornings to prep for my wedding that is exactly 149 days away.

Has anyone tried the Low GI (Glycemic Index) Diet?
I have been reading a lot about how low carb diets can be bad for you if used over a long period of time. So I have been trying to do a low GI diet instead. I have been eating carbs but only whole grain and slow release carbs. My weight loss has slowed down to about 2 lbs a week instead of 3-4 but I feel much better and am…
