Hi All,

Did anyone see the programme on Channel 4 about the Atkins Diet, there was a woman on there (only briefly mind you!!) that had been diagnosed with PCOS and she was told that she had to lose weight before she could start fertility treatment. She went on the Atkins Diet and lost 5 stone, then she conceived. After she had the baby she went back for some more tests and she has been told that she is now free from PCOS.

They didn't go into too much detail about it though, which was a shame because it seemed to give the impression that all you need to do is lose weight and then you'll be fine, if only it was that simple eh!!!!

But I suppose any mention in the 'media' is better than nothing...

See you around soon

Hi Emma

I saw the show as well, as I was *very* irritated with that woman. She made it seem so easy, like all you have to do is lose weight and you're home free. And you can't be "cured" of PCOS like she said! She might not have all the symptoms anymore, but from what I read, it never really goes away.

Anyway, just thought I'd share my rage.

we have given up trying for a baby, after years of putting our life on hold and focusing on nothing else we now have our lives back and we are happy again.
