Smile reply to PCOS in Florida

Have faith! This worked for me!!!!!

I read your post, and then had to get myself registered to post on this site.

I will give you the condensed version of my story.....

on 3/11/99 I started eating low carb... I weighed 259 lbs, had been married for 10+ years.... years before...I put myself through all the rollercoasters of Fertility specialists was diagnosed with PCOS.... did the pills, did the shots... nothing even BUDGED my system... so I quit, and my hubby and I went on with our lives.... OK.. fast forward to 99, I started low carbing.... within 1.5 months I started having REGULAR periods.... this in itself was AMAZING, since I had NEVER had regular cycles in my adult life, unless I was on BC..... well, I went on having these regular CLOCKWORK cycles.. I mean it got so I could mark on the calendar EVERY 28 days I would start... It was so weird for me.. I can't even tell you.... I figured my PCOS was controlled, and that I was ovulating... but hubby and I had gone on with our lives... and I didn't TRY for a pregnancy... well, honey... I got a shock.....
by August 2000 I was pregnant.. I didn't even know it.....

The sad part is that I lost it.. and I went into a "its not fair" mode.
I then proceeded to get pregnant 2 more times miscarrying all of them..... BUT... and this is the important BUT... For the First time in my life I actually SAW 2 lines on the preg test! It was amazing..
I have a feeling I lost them because each time I KNEW I was prego I QUIT eating low carb..... but this is just my theory.

During all this time I let carbs take over my life.. and sure enough I gained weight, and my periods started slipping again..

But I rededicated myself back to Atkins WOE on 10/16/01, and happily I am once again in control, and on my way down the scale.
