Hi, 

Just wanted to share my success with PCOS, I was diagnosed when I was 18 and when I was 21 I was told it would be impossible for me to get pregnant as I no eggs, 1 period a year if I was lucky which kept in bed for a week with the pain.  In my 30’s I found an old book from America about PCOS and about the treatment they use over there. 

Basically it recommended following a low GI diet as with PCOS our body can’t cope with high gi food. 

And to have Metformin 500mg 3 times a day. 

2 years later I fell pregnant naturally, no outside help apart from  the metformin. I now have a healthy 4 year old son and I’m 43! 

Also after I moved I ended up with a new gp who’s sister is a gp in America who is an expert on PCOS and knew of this treatment so had her support. 

Good luck ladies
