    • Close Obesity

      Hi, my name is brandi. I came to daily strength concerning infertility and found this community too. I have been "big" for 9 years now. Doctors say it's PCOS (whatever that is and however it works). Let's just say that weight is a constant battle in my house (my husband is overweight and my child is heading in the same direction.) I guess I am looking for people who are in the same boat for some mutual support.

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
      I try really hard to avoid starchy or sugary foods... but come on, my will power lasts only so long.
      Xenical Working / Worked
      watch out for those greasy dinners.... will come back to haunt you!
    • Open Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

      My name is Brandi. I have PCOS- diagnosed about 8 years ago. I am being treated with birth control and aldactone. With Pcos, you notice that you are not shaped or look like other women, and understanding is limited ( not many know or understand PCOS). I am glad to find this group. Support and advice has to be abound.

      Treatments

      Aldactone Working / Worked
      Oral Contraceptives Working / Worked
