Default WOW! LC really does help

I was dx'd with PCOS last year, as my TOM's had ceased for more than 3 months at a time, plus I was exhausted and gained a ton of weight.

I am back on LC, after learning it can help PCOS. This is day three and MY PERIOD CAME!!!! Woohoo.

Never thought I be excited about having a period, but I am. Boy does this just confirm the power of LC or what!

Congratulations! I know, insulin resistance can wreak havoc with the body. I could not believe it myself until I did it to ttc. That's why dr.'s tell women to get birth control when taking metformin unless they want to get pregnant! Good for you

I was diagnosed with PCOS almost 10 years ago. At the time I was ttc. I gave up ttc and my husband and I adopted 2 girls, they are now 15 and 10. I am excited at the thought of LC helping with some of the other symptoms though. Do you have any trouble with unwanted hair?

Gawdess hasn't been on since August 6th, unfortunately. That happens a lot. I hope she kept up.

I know that losing weight sure has helped me! no one diagnosed me until a dermatologist told me I had it due to the hair growth.

I'm lasering it away, and lcing the problem away too!
