Hey Anab,
Very cool. Thought I was the only one on this board for a bit. What are your roots? My dad is Salvadoran and mom is Guatemalan. When were you dx'd with PCOS? What are you up to now? Any advice you can tell me about metformin, normal labs, TTC#1 since 12/05? Thx!
Take care.

I'm latina too! My dad is mexican and my mom is half mexican with some french and irish in her. I was diagnosed this past July, and so far the thing that I'm trying to do is get my self into a comfortable routine to help me lose some weight and keep my PCOS under control.

Wow...there are a few of us here. Had no idea Kate, the mother of 8, has PCOS!!! I lost a few pounds by cutting out soda (almost completely), eating breakfast as opposed to skipping it, drinking more water and including more veggies on my plates. I have been making excuses about the gym but I know I have to get my butt there one of these days.

Shwag5150: Congrats on losing all those pounds. Maybe you can tell us what you have been doing...

Me, too. I think I'm the only brazilian here, other than another cys no longer active, and I don't know if there'd be other cysters from portuguese-speaking countries like Portugal or african nations. But, well, I'm here, too, just in case.

Im mexican. Both parents mexican. Same problem here tryng to lose 50 lbs. Tryed all diet pills out there, not good. Only thing that has worked for me at least for a lil bit is working out. Then I hit the plateau/wall so I don't loose anymore weight. Its kind of hard to deal with the mood swings and loosing weight. Anyways. Im hanging in there.
