Hi Jo-Nita,

Its great to have someone to talk to about this - thank you! I was prescribed the met by an Endo (no GP's seem all that interested to get too involved to be honest!) I live in New Zealand, and met is still in the trial run, and after being taken off met (as it was no longer helping me), the Endo just told me to come back and see her when I wanted to start having a family! - left me to my own devices - hence my new frustrated attitude towards the medical profession! So I am now investigating PCOS for myself so I can look at all other possible avenues - preferrably natural!

How long ago were you diagnosed? How are you finding following low carb etc?

Talk to you soon Dana :-)
