So I was diognosed with PCOS in 2012 after trying to concieve for just over a year. I was put on Metformin straight away but it made me feel like i was dying! I became so ill while taking it. After 6 months My Met dose was uped and i was put on Chlomid but that failed sad  I already have daughter who is nearly 7 but i was a hell of lot thinner when i concieved her. My problem is a i have no one around me who understands what im going through.. I have no help! I tried dieting but the weight just wont shift. I know its my weight thats the problem but what do I do about it? Does anyone know of any good tips or diets? Im going to start walking every night but i feel like i will be doing it all for nothing.

    Hi

    Has your doc mentioned orlistat?

    I have pcos and was recently prescribed orlistat and it's really helping me shift the weight.

    Its not a miracle pill that shift the pounds on its own, you need to follow a strict diet but well worth it!

      No it's never been mentioned to me but I'm going to be making an appointment on tuesday to see the doctor. 

      I just feel like giving up, the more i try to shift the pounds the more i seem to be putting on sad Hopefully my doctor will let me give them a go. Thank you! smile

    Hi embassy, no worries. I. Am 28 years old and a 3 weeks before I came to know tat I have pcos by ultrasonic.am trying to conceive since 2 years and no child. I read in many article tat healthy life style can cure pcos. Am doing juice fast and today is 13th days and I decided to do 21 days. Sure it wil help to get conceive. After this juice fast weight will be reduced up to 5 kegs and this combination of juice provides all the required nutrition for harmone balance and it will regurlarize the period. Juice 5carrots, 1 beet, 1cucumber, celery and apple for taste. Make this juice every 3 hours and drink it.only juice and don't eat anything else. Actually I read this in one forum and this is suggested by a American doctor and in tat forum it's written tat after finishing 21 days juice fast she tried different fruit juice in the morning and veg juices in the rest of the days for 2 weeks and she got period and after tat she is getting 28 days cycle.
