Hi All,

I have suffered with PCOS for 15+ years. I have been with my partner for 12 years this year. We have been trying to have a baba for 7+ years, i was under the hospital for over 5 years, i was given diet pills, examinations etc.. only to be told each time to go away and lose 2+ stone, no matter how much i diet the weight never leaves me, i know if i really really put my heart and soul into it i probably would lose but i have been trying all sorts of diets for over 7 years now, im feeling rather low. I discharged myself from the hospital about 18 months ago if not longer because it was all getting too much, i have been back to my doctor now and they have referred me back to the same Dr, i go back on the 13th May. I have been told that now i have turned 30 things will be different, im so worried to go back and be told once again to go away and lose weight. Can anyone relate to this? Has anyone tried and tried to lose weight to be successful in getting pregnant? Any positive replies will be most appriciated. Thanks

    Like you Lucy, when I was diagnosed with PCOS, 23 years ago (at the age of 31 years - I'm now 54 years old), little was known/understood about the condition but in my experience, most medics continue to 'live in the dark'.

    I've found that every time I change my GP (I've moved around. a lot), I've had to educate my GP........usually through providing them with latest research documents which originate in the US.

    On a positive note however, it concerns me that post-diagnosis, women are not gaining support/advice/guidance and as a result are forced to turn to forums!!
