Infertility

PCOS

I just wanted to let you know, I am 38 and have an 18 yr old son. After his birth I developed PCOS. I was lucky to have my period 1x per year unless given a med to get it going. I ended up about 100 pounds over weight and miserable. Gave up on having any more kids. I started the diet Medifast Jan 2012 and got my period that month and each one after. I lost 65 pounds in 6 months. The diet is high in soy, low carb. Did that do it? I stopped in July and in October discovered I was pregnant. I am not marketing this diet but I just wanted others to know how well it worked for me. Had someone told me that was I all I may have needed to do, I would have tried it a long time ago. Good luck to everyone!

    Uh, maybe it's rude because this is not a board for people who have a child and are currently pregnant to sell stuff to infertile women.

    I said it's rude because you did not give a ticker warning. This board is supposed to be a safe place where those dealing with IF are not bombarded with PG/children related stuff (As in the giant pic of a baby in your ticker). Also, you've never intro'd here. We don't know your history. You say you've dealt with IF, but what tests have you had, what procedures?

    ETA: If you had lurked on this board for any amount of time you would realize that the women on here are WAY past weight loss being the solution to their IF.

  • I honestly sincerely apologize for the ticker warning. I never even heard of it. I spent 17 YEARS trying to conceive. I didnt know there was a rule about introducing yourself. And the post wasnt bombarding anyone. It stated PCOS. I figured if someone with PCOS wanted to read it they could. I am NOT selling that diet. I simply said that loosing weight worked for me or was it the soy content. I dont know. I am not going into the long list of what I have done over the last 16 years either. Like I said, I apologize if this offended anyone, it was not my intent.
