Thank you so much for this!  My husband & I have been married for 13 (almost 14) years and have tried to get pregnant for most of those years.  We too did fertility treatments.  3 cycles of Repronex and Gonal-F.  We did the IUI, etc.  Even had my tubes checked to make sure there were no blockages.  (It took massive dosages of the fertility drugs to get my eggs to develop.)

The fertility doctor said if I lose weight I should be able to conceive.  One of the reasons I had RNY was to increase the chances of pregnancy.  I've got 16 months left before we can start trying again. 

I do have one son that I conceived at a very young age (he's 17 years old now) before I gained weight due to the PCOS.

You're welcome!  And I do know how you feel - Mine is kind of a grayish color and I feel like it looks like I haven't washed my neck!  I'm actually going to see my dermatologist about treatment for it.  Take care!

Hi
I have pcos and i just want to know the name of the writer for Insulin Resistance Diet, so i can go and get it.  please.thank you

I have been dealing with PCOS for 5yrs. I have tried every diet pill. not a thing worked. But it is different for everyone. The only thing that seemed to work...but for me only a short time, was a low carb or a low GI diet.

i dont have insurance so im at a clinic with charity care. they dont have any real kind of help. i see a nurse practitioner who simply prescribed metformin and monitors me. the GYN never listens and basically says well if you want to get pregnant lose weight. i say i dont want to get pregnant i want to reduce some of my symptoms so i can lose weight first and THEN try to get pregnant. then he says oh......we dont do that here. apparently a UNIVERSITY hospital doesnt keep things like that for its clinic patients. you think as a teaching hospital it would be better for us.
