Any advice to shift weight, bring back periods or tell me how I can tell if and when I might ovulate. I have lost all hope.

    Are you on any meds? I have pcos and i am on metformin. I have lost 20 pounds so far in weight by eating mainly fruits and veggies with lean protein and lots of water. I went through a whole year without a period as well. I was prescribed provera to bring on my period. It worked. The metformin brought back a regular cycle for a while but so far, ive missed 2 cycles. I am not so sure how to tell of you ovulate. I heard you are supposed to chart your temperature every morning and the days where you see a spike in the temperature is the days you ovulated.

    I hope this helps.

      Natty86,

      I would definitely go to another doctor because i am very overweight and have pcos and my doctor said the same thing to me that you doc said to you. She says i need to lose weight before she starts me on fertility meds but she did put me on Metformin which is helping me lose weight. I would not go to the doctor you seen eight months ago.
