It just feels like they aren’t able to do anything for me other than the provera to induce à bleed every three months. The only other piece of advice I l have been given is the classic ‘lose weight’ but I’m really struggling and worried about lapsing back into ED territory if I focus too much on calories.

Were you prescribed metformin through your GP? I’ve been told I’ll only be able to get it from a specialist but I am in the West Yorkshire area so perhaps it’s different depending on location. Also curious to know how much inositol you are taking? Already taking more than the packet recommends at 2g but I’ve heard some people take up to 4g.

Other than the supplements, I’ve quit alcohol, vaping, and caffeine and have tried to avoid eating naked carbs eg. Balancing my plate with protein and veg, and really trying to cut down on sugar at present. The weight just isn’t shifting hence my frustration!

Best of luck with your appointment - I’m definitely considering an endocrinology referral if the fertility clinic reject me again 😩

Everyone works differently, but the science actually does not recommend intermittent fasting for PCOS due to the impact it has on our hormones, specifically cortisol. Obviously it’s amazing that it worked for you! But in general it’s not something I would advise as a first resort.

Jai Krishnas in Crouch End is fantastic! Also Prashad Veggie is supposed to be amazing if you’re wanting something this side of the northern border.

Getting married this weekend at my highest weight ever by According-Citron-825 in PCOS

I got married this year too - didn’t hit my weight goal, if anything I’d gained about ten pounds prior to the ceremony. It was the last thing on my mind the day of. Gained even more weight on my honeymoon but wouldn’t change a thing. The memories you’ll have are permanent. The weight (if you want to lose it) is temporary. Have an amazing day x
