New and it's working.

[Diane_]

Hiya folks,
I was diagnosed with PCOS 6 mnths ago after ttc for 4yrs, hubby and me are currently on the waiting list for IVF. I was told I needed to loose weight and I have been finding it very difficult......until now
I'm on day 8 of induction and have lost 6 pounds, I need to loose another 8 pounds to be within the weight requirements for treatment and i'm so delighted to have found a way to loose this weight, I also feel much better in myself and have a much more positive outlook to the future.
I'd like to loose more than the 8 pounds as that puts me at the top end of the weight requirement and with the inspirational people on these forums, I know I can do it.

Take care
Diane xx

Best of Luck Diane! You can do it! I, too, got diagnosed with PCOS while ttc. Got pregnant with my DS using Clomid. Dropped weight during my pregnancy. And got pregnant again 9 months later with my DD..we thought we would start trying right away as we did not know how long it would take us to get pregnant a second time. So anyway....BELIEVE...because miracles do happen.

Re: New and it's working.

welcome and BTW did you know that with your low carb eating you will have control over the insulin that is thought to cause many of the PCOS hormone issues. high insulin interferres with the conversion of the androgen to estrogen which is one of thesteps in producing estrogen.
