Vegan diet is great for pcos. But definitely dairy free.Does anyone have any tips for healthy diets and/or weight loss whilst living with PCOS?
I saw a dietitian years ago and I remember her talking about the importance of low GI stuff but honestly it's a minefield and id like to hear individual experiences
It took me 13 months to conceive my 2nd! We had to have sex every single day because I couldn’t pinpoint ovulation but eventually we got there, good luck to you xxHi ladies!
Giving this thread a follow as I am also a pcos sufferer
I agree with all that has been said. We are currently trying for a baby and have been since January.
I lost 3.5 stone 2 years ago and had regular periods but unsure if I was ovulating every month. Since then I have put the weight back on due to life being very hectic!!
I am now back on the weight loss and trying to not think about a baby too much.
Doctors have advised me to lose weight as it helps massively to try and keep a healthy weight but, it is also a mission on its own getting the weight off due to pcosObviously, tracking ovulation is like pissing in the wind for me so I’m just at the fingers crossed and see what happens stage!
Looking forward to seeing what people have to say! Have been looking out for a thread like this for a while.

It is the hardest thing ever but to also need to have your head around it and be ready to do it. I know, easier said than doneI take metformin and to start will I lost weight ( nearly stone)
Now I’ll put back on and struggling to stop craving and always give into them
You would probably be better asking your pharmacistI have recently started taking vitamin b12 Cyanocobalamin) however after reading the leaflet I close with vitamins it states tell dr....
does anyone know if metformin stops the absorption of the vitamin. Phoned drs and the receptionist asked nurse, she said ok to take. But that’s not what I askedI asked if effects absorption and I asked receptionist to ask dr.....
Thank you for reply I will as never can get into drs and I did ask the receptionist to ask dr. But she asked the nurse and asked a totally different question on my behalfYou would probably be better asking your pharmacist
Thank you for replyI’m not sure on this onesorry! I would ring your doctors and ask to have a telephone conversation with a doctor. Better to be on the safe side
No problem, the pharmacy is often overlooked but such a useful resource and they're the medication expertsThank you for reply I will as never can get into drs and I did ask the receptionist to ask dr. But she asked the nurse and asked a totally different question on my behalf
Thank you for reply
They typically do both. Bloods to check your hormone levels and an ultrasound scan to check your ovaries. My only advice would be to drink plenty before you go so you're well hydrated and your veins should be easier to access but tell the person taking your blood about your fear! Hopefully they'll make you feel more at ease and it will be over before you know it.Hi I know this is a wee bit off topic but I think I have pcos - if I go to my GP (also gynae) what will she do? I’m terrified of needles/blood tests and really struggle to have them done, it’s always put me off getting an appointment because I’ve been told they have to take bloods to diagnose you. I thought it was a scan
