in regards to pcos how much do you know about it? i can give an AMAZING faq about pcos that covers every issue if you want. in regards to losing weight with pcos the reason it's near impossible is because your insulin levels are too high and when they are high your body can't lose weight. going on metformin and a low gi diet lowers your insulin and gives you the right kind of food so you are able to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight. metformin can also help with your period and the reason why it's hard to get pregnant with pcos is because you don't ovulate regularly so it's hard to chart and conceive. losing weight, being on metformin and being at a healthy weight increases the chance of getting a normal cycle which means it increases the chance of getting pregnant. getting pregnant with pcos without fertility drugs does happen but more often than not something like clomid is used and then it happens.
the women in pcos and pcossupport have all their tales about getting pregnant and everything there so i'd recommend you join and see their experiences. i have nothing against adoption and think it's a wonderful thing but with pcos to conceive naturally we just need a little bit more assistance.
