I posted this in the PCOS forum too, but I wasn't sure if any of those women were TTC either. So, I'm not sure if anyone here has been aware of this but I was reading an article about PCOS and natural ways to beat the disorder. My doctor told me that PCOS is pretty much an early stage of Diabetes, so she ordered that I start treating my body as though I had already been diagnosed with Diabetes. Whole grain foods are a GREAT way to naturally regulate your cycles and stop some of the effects of PCOS. The way it was explained to me is like this: Insulin from the food we eat floats in the blood and circulates back into the ovaries which causes annovulation (no ovulating) and because there's no ovulation, your hormones begin to drop and everything else begins to go wrong. I hope that helped one of you. Muahs. God bless

When I was diagnosed with PCOS I was prescribed Metformin, which is actually a diabetes medication, but they have found that it helps alot of women with pcos, by getting their insulin back on track. the only downside I have seen is having to check my blood sugar twice a day...and the upset stomach but other than that it has been great!!

i do. I have always been irregular except when on the pill. I dont ovulate on my own. I have low blood sugar, unwanted hair and at times very bad skin. Oh, and my favorite, I am almost always tired.

I too have PCOS. My husband and I have been trying for two years now. We went to the doctor today. We will be starting the second round of clomide this month or next, as soon as I get my period. My doctor placed me on an Amylose free diet to try to regulate my cycle and decrease my insulin resistance, it is working my insulin level had dropped to normal level after 6 months of the diet.

I have PCOS too. I guess my case was more mild, but I was prescribed Metformin and after 2 months my period came on it's own. I did 2 rounds of Clomid and got pregnant on the 2nd round. I am now 7 weeks. But because of the pregnancy all of the cysts on my right ovary are gone and the ones on my left are fading away.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
