PCOS and hopeless
I'm really not sure what to do, what to try, who to talk to, what to say... I was diagnosed with PCOS about a year ago, and none of my nurses told me until I looked on the paper and saw for myself.... The stuff they tell you and the stuff you read is more than discouraging about Conceiving and losing weight and being normal. I'm close to giving up. I don't know what to think
Hi
I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 18, but I've had the condition for years before that. My PCOS was coupled with Insulin Resistance, so I've basically lived with the 'tyre' of fat around my abdomen along with generally being overweight for most of my life.
I've been on treatment (Glucophage for IR and birth control pills for PCOS) going on six years now. I've lost about 30kg in that time and still losing. I changed some of my eating habits due to IR and did light to moderate exercise. Exercise and eating healthy is a major part of the treatment though.
I can't give you any advice on fertility though, except that you may want to visit a gynecologist to help you.

HI,
Many times PCOS is an incidental finding on ultrasound scan. Treatment will depend on your symptoms and desire for child bearing. Weight loss is the best natural treatment for PCOS. Birth control pills can be taken for menstrual irregularity. If you have a problem conceiving then your gynaecologist will be able to help you. Basic problem in PCOS is hormonal and because of an-ovulation.
Hope this helps.
