I live in Atlanta but I go to an Endocrinologist in Birmingham. His name is Dr. Richard Blackewll and he's been working with fertility issues for a very, very long time. I actually would have screamed if her would have mentioned anything to do with me trying to loose weight as I hear that enough in my day to day relationships. I did however make my own attempts at beating PCOS by combining a few of the home remedies (I found on here) to loose weight and get a normal period (with ovulation)! I found it almost impossible to give up carbs completely so the Atkins diet was a no- go, instead i opted for the Fat Smash (regular) program. It was difficult at first but then I started treating it like a count-down to a new me. Then I started taking the apple cider vinegar and no pop or sugar drinks... so that meant i started to drink only water and those crystal light pour ins. I eat out all the time so i would only get kid portions and TRY not to order fried food. I wouldn't exactly say I like to work out so I make it a minimal task where i would work out on the elipitical machine 3-4 days a week for 30 minutes and stretch. I even started going and getting b12-b6- lipo shots for a while... all this and (DUN DUN DUN DUH) only 20 pounds off in a 6 month period... but it was worth it. I didn't complete all the phases of fat smash and I couldn't pay for the shots most weeks so I guess it was really the low-carb and increased work outs. I have pics to sort of prove it! lol 190 to 170
