Have you tried the combined contraceptive as that can reduce acne and hair and can make weight loss easier (still slow) - we do need to eat less than non pcos ladies as if we ate the recommended daily amount we would still put on about 2lb a month so over a stone a year so we do need to eat considerably less just to maintain our weight.

Doctors won't put me on it

I'm in the same boat. My GP won't agree to put me on it unless I am trying for a baby (which I'm not).

I will ask for the combined pill? I was on a normal one put piled weight on so only on non hormonal coil at the minute. Do you know the name of it? X
