Hi Beth,

I have PCOS and as you can see from my ticker, I've just found out that I'm pregnant. We tried for three years and then out of the blue I got pregnant in Oct last year. That one ended in early miscarriage but this one is going strong so far.

A few things that I did that helped:
1. Vitex - a herbal treatment that helps regulate your cycles, although it seems you are reasonably regular with your periods. I would go for months and months without a period.
2. Low GI diet - this helps regulate the insulin in your body which then affects the hormones (I know, not a very technical explanation!)
3. Regular exercise - You don't mention your weight, but common to PCOS is being overweight. I worked out like a trojan and never lost a thing, but it still made me feel good and healthy.
4. Metformin / Clomid - I never tried these, but I know they have worked for other women.
5. IVF

There is some good information on the PCOS Association of Australia website.

I know it can seem overwhelming when you are first diagnosed. I have always found the internet (especially belly belly!) a better source of information than any doctor I've seen which is sad. However don't despair - you will get there.
