Wow, you sound like me! I lost 50 of my 100 lbs by lowcarbing over a year. This made my non-existent period come back without drugs. But I definitely wasn't ovulating. I went to the endocrinologist and found out my testosterone was still high--88. It needs to be less than 30 to ovulate. So he put me on Avandia and Glucophage and two months later I was pregnant. I had tried a lot of medications in there and had lost weight in other ways, but lowcarb helped the most and then the insulin sensitizers were like the fine tuning. Good luck!!!!
