Hi everyone,
It has been very interesting to read your posts on PCOS.
I am 23 years old and went to the Drs about PCOS when I was 19. I was sent for a scan and the radiographer showed me the cysts. However for some reason, the results were not sent to my GP and shortly after that I moved house. I mentioned all of this to my new GP but they pretty much ignored it.
I am indian and have significant facial hair which I remove through waxing. It is very embarassing and I am extremely conscious about it. After mentioning it to my GP again and insisting I needed help I was prescribed Dianette but the Dr strongly recommended I did not take it due to liver damage.
I am therefore not taking anything for it.
Reading the posts above, I find that everyone is cutting out refined carbs. However, since I am following the slimming world diet, on a green day the free foods are pasta potatos and rice. Whilst I could possibly switch to wholemeal pasta, I don't think I could cut out potatoes and rice and am really worried now about the amount of carbs I eat through this diet!
Has anyone else been on Slimming world whilst suffering from PCOS and what have they found?
