SA Newbie Hi everyone
I'm new to this forum but very familiar with PCOS. I was diagnosed at about 15yo (15 years ago!) when I presented symptoms like irregular periods, weight gain, excess body hair and acne. I was put on diane (contraceptive pill) and haven't been off it since. I'm about to start TTC and I'm a bit scared of going off the pill!
I went to see an dr and she recommended CSIRO diet (I'm about 15kg overweight), metformin and a pregnancy multi vitatmin. I have taken all of this advice on board and am currently on 250g metformin a day, increasing by 250g each week until I hit 2000mg. I have about two 1/2 weeks left of my current pill cycle before stopping.
I'm really interested in other people's experiences of TTC, especially coming off the pill for the first time in years. I'm scared I'm going to turn into a fat, hairy, pimply monster! |
