 Hair Growth!!!
by: Anonymous

Hello,
I am 19 years old. I do not know how long I have had PCOS but I know that I have it. This is incredible to me that foods can affect so much. I have hirsutism, that is so embarrasing that I feel that no man will love me since I have more hair than women. I pluck all the time, never tried waxing, but I have noticed that with my high fat diets my hair grows more and when I have lost weight the size of the hair and the color turns more blonde brownish and not black. I am overweight and hating it. But this encourages me to lose what I need to lose and heal my self of PCOS and its symptoms. I also have been taking spearmint and green tea. I also takes natural supplements that help block androgen effectiveness. Keep going at it! Thank you soooooooooooooo much this has helped me to continue on.

 Encouragement for PCOS Sufferers
by: Tiffany

Reading this has helped me realize myself how important my diet is. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 20 when my husband and I tried to have a baby and couldn't for over a year. The doctor suggested I lose weight and try again later. I wasn't ready to go through in vitro and all those things you've heard stories about, so I tried to lose weight. It seemed like for every pound I lost, I put two back on. People don't realize how truly difficult PCOS makes losing weight. Eventually, I did lose 30 lbs. Then I got depressed and gained 20 of it back. Four years went by as I yo-yo dieted and mourned the fact I couldn't have a baby. However, when I was 24 my husband and I decided we were ready to try again and go to extremes if we had to. We conceived the first month we were off birth control. I still have doctors telling me they don't understand how I got pregnant. I also have had doctors tell me it was impossible to get pregnant that quick for anyone, especially PCOS sufferers. Doctors don't know everything. I have a beautiful blue-eyed daughter who is turning 3 this month and I thank God for her daily. Now my husband and I want to have a 2nd child and I have to get healthy first. It was encouraging to me to read this article because my doctor is getting ready to start me on Glucophage. I am going to try my hardest to try a low-cal diet and getting plenty of exercise and see if the weight comes off any easier with the drug. I'm nervous because I've never taken any kind of drug for PCOS except birth control pills. But if it will help me lose weight and have another precious child, I will definitely be trying it. Thanks for the dietary comments. I feel they will help me tremendously. Thanks also for the comments about Glucophage. I too am 27 and learning everyday. PCOS sufferers--Never give up on that baby. All things are possible for those who believe!
