@themrsbabycakes We can't give you specific advice without knowing you (and definitely in this public comment section), but strongly urge you to talk to your gynecologist! It may take a while to figure out the right balance, but you'll eventually get there. Good luck!

I am 24 and I have pcos, i was dx April 2007, I am so tire of my facial hair, is there anyone out there who has pcos and facial hair growth problems that can help me and tell me what did you do to control and get rid of your hair..... And as for the ladies who are trying to concieve, don't give up. I had my son in 2008 with the help of metformin and clomid.

my ob thinks I have pcos & threw it on my chart, I've been pregnant 7 times & don't have any problem getting pregnant that's for sure, also I'm not obese and I know I ovulate every month. My husband got a vasectomy thank God. If these women are uupset they're infertile they can have my damn eggs no more pregnancy for me thank God!

@centerforhumanreprod I just got diagnosed with Pcos in June . I have been bleeding since march of this year. Went to one docter she said my lining of uterus is real thick. Another docter said he saw a polyp on my cervix. Idk what going on.can't find a good docter..I'm sick of bleeding . Why am I bleeding so long?

What a great explanation from Dr. Gleicher on PCOS and fertility. It is confusing to understand why someone with PCOS who has so many eggs can be infertile. His explanation of how these eggs never make it to ovulation really helps me understand this whole process.

What I mean with protein snacks are snacks not more than 100 cals but made of protein: a couple of slices of chicken salami, or filet or even better a low fat turkey piece. Sometimes some nuts... I usually eat fruits as well, one portion, not more so I don't get the swings later. But if you have other issues like high blood pressure or else, you should see a dietician. What REALLY helped my was to be able to give up chocolate and chocolate addiction :) giving up sugar helped the swings the best!

@KaishaLaSha83 Ow those mood swings! No one understands and I ended up having huge relationship problems because I just couldn't understand it myself. Now, I am better... With protein diet, I mean a diet which has more protein than a healthy person's diet. I usually have some protein for each meal, now I always have more protein than carbs. I keep the pasta small and have some more cheese, or add nuts to the pasta, or have a bit more meat than pasta.I also have protein snacks.
