I am new to having PCOS just diagnosed October, 2001. I have been in denial and not admitting that I have PCOS. I am currently taking Glucophage and having a horrible time with side effects (mainly diarreha). I just started low carbing this week (Atkins). and was wondering if anyone is having success with the Atkins program? I am also concerned about menstral cycles and when you see results of them getting better? I am currently 2 months without AF. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
