Hi, i found out i had pcos one month ago. I have been out on the lowest dose of metaformin and the onky thing i have noticed is light cramping on and off. Myself and ny oartner have been trying for a baby for 6months and no luck so far. I am taking elevit metaformin and fish oil tablets and still not ovualating.😞
Seems too good to be true from their website.
Thanks Nat! I need to try it!
I use the internet cheapy sticks. They are some times hard to read but they are far more accurate for (some) PCOS gals than the digital or the monitors. I have also found a lot of them say not to use… read more
I am struggling to know what im allowed to eat and what im not, wheat,gluten etc. I dont have a clue?? I need to lose weight but don't know where to start. Some sites say certain things are good and others say theyre Bad. Anyone know any ideas that could start me off ??
Feeling frustrated is an understatement
My doctors were worse than useless- its all come from me spending hours trawling through scientific journals and pcos websites. There is a website called pcosdietsupport which is great for… read more
Ive been reading and some say soy milk is ok while others say it isn't as it produces phyestrogens, dont think i spelt that right lol
Im drinking almond soy milk right now so if anyone has any knowledge on this please let me know asap! :)

Has anyone else had no period for an extended period of time? I was extremely irregular for the two years before my diagnosis. Didn't have it for almost a year. Had it once randomly. Now it's been almost 1.5 years since I've had a period.

I've tried different positions but it still makes me feel sick. Possible he could be hitting something so I will keep that in mind for the next time thank you for the advice.
Hi everyone. I’m new to the group but I’m happy that I found it. I was diagnosed with PCOS back in 2017. Since being diagnosed I have struggled tremendously with my weight gain, and getting it OFF ! Does anyone have any suggestions on what diets have worked for you alongside with regular exercise? Or what foods to stay away from ?
Thanks !
People with PCOS should stay away from diary and gluten. Its hard for me bc i love cheese. I want to try a plant based diet, but i have heard good things about keto for pcos. PCOS needs low carbs, low… read more
