Avandia, trying to conceive, and just learning about SB diet

    Hi, all~
    I'm new here, and very excited to find a forum specifically for PCOS and in a place where people support the South Beach diet. I've just started learning about the diet and plan to start it in another week or so-- after I've gone grocery shopping!

    My doc has prescribed Avandia for my insulin resistance, but did not suggest a diet plan. I've found South Beach on my own and think it might work for me if I can get past my soda withdrawls.

    My doc gave me a three month prescription for the Avandia, and said if I'm not pregnant by the end of that time, she'll put me on Clomid-- a fertility pill. I am "borderline" PCOS according to my lab work, but, she feels I have the symptoms.

    I'd love to chat with anyone else who's been through this or is there now!
