Question for Taz - Infertility Message Board

Hi Taz,

Congratulations on your BFP!!! After trying for so long it must seem surreal to finally see two lines. I'm so happy for both you and your DH.

I have a quick question for you. You said you took a break, lost 30 lbs and went on a diabetic diet to help with the PCOS. What kind of meds did your doctor give you to lose weight? Do you think that helped? When you say diebetic diet do you mean like the Adkins diet?

Thanks in advance for the info.

Hi - sorry it took me so long to reply - I was napping

I think this little bugger is taking all of my energy right out of me.

My doc gave me fastin for 3 months. I didn't really do the Adkins diet b/c I tried eating really healthy and then cuting out the sugar and high carbs, but mostly just watched the sugar. I totally quite drinking pop (huge difference it made) and started drinking tons of water. Having PCOS makes us real high risk for diabetes anyway so the doc told me that if I started eating right now it should prolong getting it.

Thanks Taz I appreciate all of the information. I'll check out the fastin on the internet and talk to my specialist about it.

Feel well and enjoy the naps (while you can)
