    • Close Infertility
      Type: Hormonal Disorders

      I was diagnosed with moderate PCOS in July of 2006. But, I have had it for at least 7 years. I have insulin resistance, among other things, and am trying to lose weight so we can conceive, without expensive fertility treatments. Doctor's are NOT optimistic. I have a loving husband of almost 3 years, that gives me the strength I need, and God is the main focus that keeps me going. Someday soon, though, God Willing, I will have children of my own.

      Treatments

      Metformin Not Working
      The Metformin made me so ill that my primary care doctor decided to take me off of it permanantly.
      Oral Contraceptives Working / Worked
      Helps that weight. My cycles are so irregular, I have to stay on the BC to keep weight off and cysts down.
      Meridia Working / Worked
      I have lost 10 lbs since starting the medicine about 2 weeks ago.
    • Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I have PCOS with Insulin resistance. I currently am on the prescription drug Meridia to assist with my weight loss, amongst doing other things. I have lost 15 lbs so far, and I have about 60 more to go...I LOVE life and am excited to meet others who might be having the same difficulties as me, or even just for support for the weight loss process.

      Treatments

      3 Hour Diet Somewhat Helpful
      I liked the diet, but I am not much on the packaged foods, and sometimes I just cannot eat the amount of food that you are supposed to eat
      Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
      This so far has been the best approach for me. I have really started to see results with this.
    • Open Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

      I have PCOS with Insuling Resistance. I have had it for approximately 7 years, but only was diagnosed about 1 year ago. I don't ovulate but maybe every other month, so I am on Birth Control, and am currently losing weight to combat the PCOS, and it seems to be going well so far.

      Treatments

      Clomid Considering
      When me and my husband start trying for children again, we will probably consider Clomid if I don't ovulate regularly.
      Metformin Not Working
      It made me sick nad kept me in the bathroom a lot, so my PCP took me off of it and put me on a different medicine.
      Oral Contraceptives Working / Worked
      I don't have the painful periods that I once did.
