PCOS and trying for #2

[~*Kat*~]

there is always hope sweetie
Another thing is not to be too focused on ttc make sure u take time out for just u and Lachlan and just u and DH when u can so as u have other things to distract u (its more mentally than anything but) it will help u conceive if ur more relaxed about it.
Or u could try what I did and go on the mini pill and then come off cos it was making me sick and I needed time for it to be out of my system for the marina to be put it and whamo I fell pregnant (shock of the year)

Mich - I try and eat a "whole food" diet - ie minimal processing as possible. Easier said than done. I try to avoid rice, pasta, bread and potato... and stuff made with sugar (pastries, cakes, lollies, biscuits etc etc)...

Because I have insulin resistant PCOS this diet works best for me.

There are heaps of diet recommendations for PCOS on the net.

thanks blackose - i've started on a low sugar and low carb diet. still eating them but not as much, and heaps more fruit and veggies. tonight for dinner i had lamb with HEAPS of steamed veggies. it felt good. i hope i have good will power. i just think of a cute little bub that i want so badly.

get blood test results soon so i'll have a better idea of what is going on. i guess i would have insulin resistance? is that why i have polycystic ovaries???
