I think that I will be ordering the book after my next payday. I am looking for answers in one spot versus 10 and not everyone agrees (other then this fantastic site!!!)
Thank you for the great info.

I am a "newbie". You can read my profile to find out more about me. I wanted to comment on the books that were stated to be "good reads". Many of you commented how it was too expensive to buy. First of all, you don't have to buy it. You can go to your library and check it out. If they don't have it, you can do an "inner library loan". In addition, if you do want to buy it, I suggest going to Amazon.com. This is where I buy my books. All 4 of these books are on there for either new or used starting under $10.00. I would suggest, though, that you read the synopsis first and the reader comments. I did on all 4 suggested books and I found that "The Savvy Women's Guide to PCOS" is probably the most "user-friendly" book as the others can be detailed and filled with medical terminology that most of us may not be familiar with (although we could still certaintly try or at least refer them to our doctors). A book I would like to recommend is called "The New Glucose Revolution: Guide to Living Well with PCOS". There are a million of the the "new glucose revolution" books out there but this one is specifically tailored to PCOS. It's all about using a low glycimic index diet. I've found this to be extremely helpful.
I am curious just what about this book makes it so great. What kinds of info is it covering? I'm finding that a good deal of info on PCOS is how to get pregnant despite it, how to lose weight, how to deal with diabetes, etc. These are not primary problems for me, so I'd be quite happy to find a book that deals with hormonal interaction, treatment options, etc outside of those points.
