Hey Eliana

I have PCOS as well, are you taking medication for it and dieting/exercising to help it or just controlling it through the latter?

No, I'm not taking medication. I took Metformin when I was first diagnosed because at the time we were trying to conceive baby number three. My doctor's only purpose was to get me ovulating again. Now that we are no longer TTC, she decided I didn't need it anymore?? Whatever, I'm over it. I'm just trying to control it through getting this weight off. My biggest issue is the weight and I think it has probably messed with our chances of having a third child. But having lost number 3, we've decided to focus on the two blessings we already have and they are 8 and 9 now. So medication just doesn't seem like something I now need to pursue.

Losing just 5% can return your cycle back to normal. I've read that many, many places and it was true for me.

It's a very good thing to know your body so well and know what your LIMITS are as far as food and exercise! You'll go far with that attitude and knowledge!
