Have you noticed people staring at you and don't feel comfortable? Insensitive people always advising you about a fascinating diet program they just heard of? You have grown out of your Sunday clothes? People congratulate you on your becoming a moher when there us no "bun in the oven"? Well maybe then you know just about how I feel.
I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). And it has taken its tole on me. I have always been a healthy person. My BMI never crossed 25. I was happy with the way I looked. I gained 10 kilos within a month before I was diagnosed with PCOS. My abdomen is unusually large and I'm overwhelmed with mood swings one can possibly handle. It's hard to cope with the emotional twists, more for my hubby than for me.
I have tried numerous things to lose some weight. I've tried diets, all sorts. I have tried free hand exercise, aerobics, counting callories, nothing seems to work. I have extreme cravings both due to PCOS and frustration. Now I have been trying for a baby for a few months, and the doctor said not to do exercise. And now, I am fat, I am frustrated, and I still cannot concieve after trying for five months.
Can anyone help me out? I'm tired of following healthy eating blogs and the PCOS lifestyle blog, nothing helps. HELP.

Hi sweetie! I was wondering where have you been. Sorry I've been such a bad girlfriend! Anyways...
I am so sorry that you have to go through such an ordeal. Since I don't have it, I have almost no idea how PCOS is like. I can't imagine the pain you are going through trying to conceive. Mmmmm... What can say?!? I don't have any advice medically. I mean, will losing weight help you? Without exercise it's really tough. I've tried that; it doesn't work. For me, dieting helps. When I eat an extremely clean diet, I usually lose 1 lbs a week. But since I have no self-control, :) I'll eat a bowl of brownie and gain it all back the next week.
I have a colleague/friend here, who also has PCOS. She's still single and not planning to have a kid anytime soon. People are different here; they kind of don't care about kids if they are really into career. I'm not saying that's good or bad. It's just life choice, I guess.
I've always known you as a strong person. But life sometimes throws us curveball so ridiculous that we lose faith in ourselves. That's all I'm gonna say- Don't lose faith in yourself. If you really want something from your heart and if you believe in God and yourself, it will happen. You just have to keep holding on.
Email me. I'll get back to you, I promise.
Hugs.
