Hey guys.,, I just wanted to put a post out there to say what its like living with PCOS.. It suxs to be quiet honest.,. theres so many things that makes you so different from most women. Having raised hormone levels all the time, being overweight-not being able to eat normally (although I do which is why i am overweight!).
Anyway I want to talk with anyone who has PCOS... I have had it for several years and was diagnosed with it approx 5 years ago.. I had 3miscarriages, and was on and still on metformin 500g x 3 per day... I have gone on to have 2 sucessful pregnancys and 2 beautiful girls. Its a challenge to live with everyday,, but I do..
I have lost alot of weight and put it back on and lost and put back on and so on.. I am sure many others who have PCOS have gone through similar experiences as I have.
If you are struggling to concieve with PCOS or carry a successful pregnancy,,we should talk as I had to do alot of research and do alot of things in order to make it successful- I was under a topic endocronologist in NZ .
Would love to talk....
Sarah:)

I have a friend that suffers from PCOS, shes big around her tummy and really struggles with alot of things. She has never had a baby and they have been trying for a year or so now... I might get her to come online and talk with you..
What did you do to concieve?

I went on a low GI diet and then while i was in my 1st trimester i actually was on a drug called metformin and stayed on it...
I made sure i kept my sugar levels down really low while i was pregnant.

I have PCOS and Endo and my weight sits around my tummy and thighs. I have been at the gym working really hard and its starting to move but its just trying to keep it off which is hard.

I suffer so badly from water retention at that time of month aswell :S

I have 2 kiddies thanks to clomid!!!

i have 2 kids thanks to metformin.. i never got to the point of using clomid.. my pcos weight sits around my tummy and it suxs,, after my 2nd child my tummy was worse.. now shes 15months i have lost a bit but its really really hard..
I am very active.. but i dont look it. infact i clean houses 25hours a week, and run my own house and still get in exercise but i am plauged with a overweight body!
bread is my worst enemy carbs... ahh... but i love them!!
