I got on the scales when i was diagnosed and i weighed 104kgs. I felt disgusted in myself especially when i weighed 65kgs when i was 16. My weight went up a bit before i fell pregnant so i was 97kgs. At my 6 week appt i was 92kgs and then when i was 22 weeks i was 87kgs but thats due to terrible morning sickness i couldnt eat anything and i didnt want to eat anything. But at my last antenatal appt (26 week) i was 97kgs so in a month i gained back all the weight i had lost but id say its all baby and because i have been able to eat. I'd like to stay under 100 for the whole pregnancy and i know most of it is baby so i will lose it afterwards.

I'm hoping my insulin levels have dropped if they are a bit high i will ask to go back onto diabex, im hoping to get down to 75kgs after the baby. I noticed when i lost 10kgs my symptoms of pcos backed off, i wasnt so crampy and i seemed to have more regular AF's.

Pcos is a terrible thing but not so bad if under control.

hun, you are doing awesome and you're growing a healthy bubba - i was unfortunate to develop GD at 28 weeks - it was diet controlled until 30 weeks where no matter what i ate my levels were sky rocketing so i ended up having to be put on insulin - wasn't fun, but the upside was that i actually lost weight and the week before i gave birth i weighed 98kgs. 4 weeks after birth i was down to 78kgs i had never felt so happy and healthy, but then slowly, over the last 15 months since DD's birth the weight has just crept back on and i cannot shift it and i know that is what's triggering the pcos, i was 92kg 3 months ago, so i'd hate to think what i am now

Just a quick question for all you ladies with pcos, do any of you have "skin issues"? - i get terrible boils between my thighs (so embarrassing ) and i've read it is quite common in women with pcos?
