Danni, that was the same for us. First pregnancy was a fluke and 2nd took 2 yrs and 2 miscarriages. I'm kind of kicking myself that I didn't do this sooner (so much bad hype about low carb living around... but now I'm noticing so much REAL research is coming about and all of it suggest that for type 2 diabetes and PCOS this is the only real way to get and stay healthy). It makes so much sense when you think about the cause of PCOS and how it is a genetic throwback to parts of the world who went through periods of starvation (Ireland, Africa and Asia have shown strong PCOS rates). Where during famine the genes changed to allow for fertility (as most women who starve tend to not be fertile) where as for us PCOS'ers our gene saved our family line as it allowed women who were in famine to be able to be VERY fertile. And what is happening to my body now is a text book example of that. No I'm not in famine, but I am not feeding my body with foods that are associated with plentiful eating. I now look at my PCOS a different way, because I think had our genetics not changed previously I might not exist. And even though I do have to live a lifestyle from the rest of a lot of people I can still live a normal happy life, I just need to maintain a different dietary lifestyle to achieve this. And yay for that! If you want any information Danni & LSK on how I have changed my lifestyle please feel free to PM me
Thanks ladies Even though my cycles are not something I specifically "need" to be regular as my fertility isn't an issue anymore, it still feels great to know my body is almost acting normally. I cannot wait to go back to my dr for blood tests to see how my hormone levels are post weight loss that will be a great insight too.
