PCOS,infertility and success!

[Gemblebear]

Wanted to share my little success story. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2008 but because my BMI was high they wouldn't give me treatment. I battled with weight for 5 years and kept getting same response from the doctors. I had to have counselling, used to sob myself to sleeps and was a general mess. I finally snapped into action and lost a stone by doing a mixture of Atkins and caveman diet. Then in August 2013 I had more tests still no hormones. Dr told me to come back in January and lose another 10lbs. I gave up, thought sod it. Had a month off the alcohol, chilled out, ate good natural foods and did some meditation. Then beginning of October felt a bit crappy so took a preg test which I did all the time, sometimes 15 a month just to check and it was positive. My son was born 2 weeks ago! I thought I would never get a chance, but with a bit of willpower some relaxation and determination it can happen for anyone. Thanks for reading,

Hi I am now 31 and my BMI started around 39 and I got it down to 36.2. The dr wanted it below 35 to start clomid. I weighed around 16 stone.

Thanks for the replies. When I was trying to get pregnant I read all kind of success stories but never thought it would be me. It sounds cliche but I think forgetting about it after the dr said still no hormones helped. If anyone has any more questions more than happy to answer anything.

Hi if you google 'the natural diet solution for pcos and infertility' it is fairly hardcore but I literally followed it for weeks and it must have cleansed me a little bit or something
