Shannon, Are you on any medication for PCOS, and if so, what? I went off BC pills 9 Yrs ago to ttc and gained about 50 lbs. within that next yr.! I have gone from 133 lbs. to 194 in the past 9 yrs!!! I have tried everything also! I went on Glucophage for about 3 months and I did lose 14 lbs. but I think it was because I had diarrhea 24 hrs a day!!! Now I am on Actos (2 months) I have gained the 14 lbs back but I feel great! And I am ovulating for the 1st time without fertility drugs! If I am not preg. within the next 3 months,we have decided to stop trying. The Dr. is going to help me work on losing my weight then. Right now I am not going to worry about my weight so much. I am very excited that I am ovulating so I am concentrating on getting preg!!! Best wishes to you, I'll say a prayer for you! Teresa
