Hi Ktgirl!

I too have pcos. I was diagnosed after I had been ttc #2 for 10 months unsuccessfully. AF was horrible and all over the shop. An ultrasound and blood test confirmed... My sister also has pcos, although is in complete denial and will not have it confirmed by a doctor... I also have PCOS running on both sides of my family.

My main pcos symptoms are my weight and that typical concertrated weight around the middle. My pimples AHHHH I hate them!! and it used to be my menstral cycle, but some weight loss got that under control and actually saw me fall pg naturally.

I can not speak highly enough of losing a little bit of weight by following a low GI diet. I was 96kg after having my ds and over time lost 10kg cutting out sugar (very hard as my cravings are insane!) and following a low GI diet.

there are quite a few ways of treatment for controlling your pcos, all depending what your main objective is (i.e. getting pg, controlling AF, improving moodyness or af pains, losing weight) The best thing to do is find a knowledgeable GP or OBGYN and arm yourself with all the information you can get your hands on from the net ( heaps from a simple google search) and take control of your treatment with the help of a good care giver.

I have had 2 natural conceptions and 1 assisted conception with Clomid... so keep your chin up!! its not all that bad
