new PCOS member!
 

Hello everyone! Its my first day here and I hope you all can give me the strength to get thru my new journey. I was Dx'd at 19 with PCOS and given glucophage....which didnt work. Here I am 14yrs later with Fortamet and a diabetic diet. I did Atkins for 30 days no cheating and couldnt get to ketosis. Soooo doc says this medicine along with diet and exercise I should drop 50lbs like fast!!! Keepin fingers crossed I wish everyone luck and success on their journeys as well and hope I will find all the strength I might need here with many new possible friends!!!!

Welcome! I love this site, everyone here has been so supportive! I also have PCOS, and the I am losing very slow, but I am still losing. I have had a very hard time finding a doctor that doesn't tell me that people w/ pcos don't gain weight from that, but from their lifestyle. Here's to a new lifestyle! Let me know how this is working for you :D

i was diagnosed with it over a year a go and have only just been put on metformin two weeks ago, no one has told me much about what im meant to be eatin or doin but the doc did say that he wud get me down to 100lbs in a few months, i dont see how thats pos when im ment to see him next in 4months time, am i expected to just get on with it til then and just hope that when i see him next im 5 stone lighter? im sooooooo confused :o (

I'm a newbie too.
 

Aloha everyone. My name is Bobbie, I am 25 and was diagnosed with pcos almost a year ago. It is a relief to finally know what is wrong. I spent my teenage years going to gyn after gyn only to be told that nothing was wrong. I concieved my son at 20 from a previous relationship, and my husband and I have been trying for 3 years for another. After 5 rounds of Clomid I lost heart and we decided to take a break. We are back at it again, and I have a lot of weight to loose. I have gained 100lbs over the past 2 years! I am ready and commited to this. Today is my first day on Atkins although I tried it after my son was born I didn't stay with it long. 4 years later I am a different person and this feels right. I hope to get to know many of you as we help each other through this. Mahalo.

i bet u do it! u sound so confident in it and i think u wil no doubts
