I think there is a PCOS thread, but not in alternachicks. Yes, there are a few of us here who have been diagnosed with this lovely syndrome. I was tested for it after almost a year of infertility
. Some of the lab tests came back with indicators of mild PCOS... even though my cycles are pretty regular. They put me on metformin and my appetite changed overnight. I haven't made too many changes to my diet, although I understand that cutting out carbs is supposed to help. I don't go for the low carb thing, although I do believe in cutting down on sugar and white flour products. Today I had a half of piece of chocolate cake and felt like s
t all day. So I'm thinking about trying to watch sugar and white flour and see what happens. Metformin has been a huge blessing for me, and I've finally been able to lose weight and stick with it for the first time in my life.
As it turns out, our infertility has more to do with blocked tubes than PCOS, but it sucks to have mutliple factors.
