Hello all, some of you might remember me.. Had been TTC with PCOS for 2 1/2 years until this summer I decided to take a break, go on BC, and lose weight. I've lost about 35lbs (woohoo!) and a lot of my PCOS symptoms have cleared up.. skin is so much clearer, hair started growing back, skin is no longer greasy, etc.
But I still have 49lbs to get to my "ultimate" goal. A part of me is tempted to go off BC just to see what my body does. The past 2 years I don't even know if I actually ovulated. I pretty much would bleed for 6 months, then get no period for 6 months.. that's what it seemed anyway! Clomid did nothing but give me horrible side effects.
So.. apart of me wants to go off BC and see what "happens" and another part of me says "No! Lose the rest of the weight.. finish what you started!"

It's hard, especially when baby fever hits! I never thought I'd be able to lose this much weight, so I am super proud of myself

Just wanted to say hi.. I might be lurking here and there!

Can you not lose weight and ttc at the same time? I've lost 27 pounds and have successfully O'd! I had a 32 day cycle last cycle and it's a great feeling! I say go off the BCP and try again while losing weight. But do whatever you feel is right

Congrats on the 35 lbs! That's exciting!

Woo Hoo!! You go girl on losing the weight!

I am on the same page with Manda! Try going off the BCP, continue on the weight loss journey, but add ttc techniques back into your routine!

I have been wondering about you, glad to see you back around!
Talk to us more often girlie!

I am debating going off BC and seeing what happens. The prob is, if the weight I've lost isn't enough to get me ovulating then I'll be stuck in the CD75+ thing again and then having to go back on provera. I just want to avoid all that. I want to try to pick the magic "time" and just have everything be normal (yeah, a girl can dream LOL)
I am only 15 or so pounds away from being at the weight when I got pregnant with my daughter and ovulated normally! Just thinking I am that "close" is great motivation weight loss-wise...
We'll see what happens!!!

I watched the documentary "Business of Being Born"... Yeah, baby fever setting in :-)

Well they say that 10% of your body weight can be enough to jumpstart ovulation in PCOS women. Good luck with whichever way you go!
