I had the irregular periods, pelvic pain, facial hair growth, discoloration of the skin, unexplained weight gains and the list goes on. I did the fertility treatments to no avail and my ovaries got so bad that I finally had a total hysterectomy 7 months ago. I really wish that there were resources such as yours when I was diagnosed. I was told I had the condition, but was not told what I could do to help myself with it. I was always told to lose weight, but no one would tell me how in the heck I could do that when it was a chore to lose just 5 pounds! My weight has not fluctuated much in 18 years and I still can’t seem to lose any. I am excited about following your tips for eating right and maybe my body will finally allow me to take the pounds off! Thank you for all the information that you put out there to help others. It is wonderful to know that others will not have to go through what I have and there is light at the end of the tunnel!!!

Ashley, thank you! That made my day! You’re not alone…just know that! And I hope you love the recipes 🙂

I actually found your blog from your siggy on the nest cooking board. I was looking for cooking blogs and found yours. I’ve made 2 recipes so far that are wonderful and were a big hit in my house. Here I was perusing your sights for 2 weeks and never even noticed the PCOS tab (hello, ding dong!). I cried sitting here reading this because I felt like this is the most help I’ve gotten nutritionally. I was diagnosed with PCOS 2 years ago and have been with an RE since March. We are on hold on the baby front right now (just not emotionally there). I know getting weight off will help but no one seems to understand how hard it is with PCOS. So, it’s nice to not feel so alone out there. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I have a feeling I’ll be making a lot of your recipes!

Ashley

I’m 20 and from South Africa. I self-diagnosed myself 7yrs ago, and it was confirmed only a year ago by my “not-so-brilliant” doctors.

It’s a struggle trying to stay in shape, and the worst part is the hirsutism and depression, but I’m on Glucophage (Metformin) and folic acid now; which have proved useless.

Hope you all have better PCOS management than I do. Good Luck!

I stumbled across you site (oven-fried pickle recipe) and saw that you had a PCOS tab. I was recently diagnosed with PCOS….discovered because I was having fertility issues. I’m still gathering as much information as I can….I guess I’m going to have to control the symptoms from now on. 🙂 Anyway, thanks again for the great insight! 🙂
