Hi Kate,

I'm have PCOS too and have turned to the CD as a last resort as we are TTC. I'm only on day 4 so a newbie too.

Hippychick, congrats on the weight lose and the baby. Wonderful to read about something positive about PCOS for once and to also hear that you had such a good result with CD!

Thank you all so much for the replies and warm welcome. I actually have 5 children and falling pregnant has been hard but my worst problems are the weight, hairiness and moods so it would be great to get rid of all that. Can I ask do any of you take metformin? I've been taking metformin for about 3 and 1/2 years now and it stops me from putting on weight but doesn't help me lose it.
Well ,here's to tomorrow!

I have PCOS and went form 20 stone 7 to 13 stone 10 in just under 6 months. Then my doctor gave me two months of Clomid to try for my 6th baby before embarking on IVF/Fertility treatment as i had been ttc for over 2 years. (one of the reasons i needed to lose weight)First course of clomid i fell pregnant and obviously stopped the diet and now have my 6th baby who is 5 weeks old.

My symptoms havent changed eg heavy periods, hairy face ect but i feel 100% better.

Hi all....

I too have PCOS and I have two children....my youngest is 9 months old and there's 3 years, 1 month and 1 day between her and my son. On my son, I found out the day I was due to start Clomid - I lost 2.5 stone before I conceived him...my daughter was a surprise...a welcome one but a shock as I had lost 3 stone...

Everytime I lost weight(through GI diet or WW) I got pregnant....but after my daughter, my symptoms got worse...heavy AF, weight gain, crap skin.

When I started CD, I was 14 stone 13 lbs, I've lost 12 so far...I feel great, my skin feels great...I am not TTC as I feel my family is complete but never say never!!!

Kate - how'd it go??

[very_determind_this_time]

i always love baby stories from pcos laydddessssss like maself!

keep brooding!

I have PCOS and am taking metformin, yeah your right the metformin helps you not gain weight but it doesn't make you lose it either. I started SS in Jan weighed 10.7lb I'm only 5". I got down to 8.7lb by March which was fantastic but the minute I ate even like a salad & fish 4lb would hit, the minute I ss, 24hrs later i lose 4-5lb. It's weird and my hubby did cambridge too but he hasn't had this problem he has only regained 7lb over 8 wks and is back eating normally. I'm now back to 9.11lb and feel shocking so I'm ss'ing again in the hope with strict maintenance I can keep it off this time. Good luck Kate !!
