Just popping up to say hello. I was diagnosed with PCOS a couple of weeks ago and was told about this site by my endo-wosit. Although was apparently diagnosed with it 10 years ago, but aggrogant doc at the time didn't feel it was relevant to tell me (whole 'nother story)

Is anyone else here going to the Royal Berks? In particular I have been asked if i want to be in a diet research trail for women with PCOS, sounds like a good opportunity to get lots of help and support, although the diet is scarily strict. I would love to talk to anyone who is doing it at the moment.

Right, off to read all about everyone now

Hi, wow this is great to see another lady from Reading so HELLO I live in Tilehurst.

Firstly, welcome to the forum

I've been taking part in this study @ The Berks since November and it's the best thing I have ever done I think. They're ever so supportive and are always on the end of the phone if I need help or advice. I see Caroline the Dietician once a month and she is completely wonderful, she has helped me so much and I have lost a stone with her help and advice. The Dr is always around if I have any questions too. They do fairly regular blood tests to check everything is in order on the diet as well

Having to keep food diaries of every single thing you eat is really tiresome but I think it's worth the hassle in the end.

I got picked to do the low carb diet, they choose which diet you do by random though but I'm glad I got that one as it's been pretty easy to stick to

Feel free to PM me or email/MSN if you like and good luck with your decision
