actually, there is a corelation between PCOS & overweight. most ladies with PCOS are overweight or on a bigger side (me included hahaha). my gynae always always always ask me to lose weight because of this few reasons -
1) up to 50% of PCOS ladies have insulin resistance, which means that we have a higher chance of getting diabetes etc. so to prevent this, we have to be more active, exercise, diet etc to lose weight to have a healthier body.
2) with a healthier body / active lifestyle, your PCOS gets ALOT better. wont be as haywire as how it was.
3) and when that happens, there's a even higher chance of a successful ovulation, or ever better - conception!
i went for a checkup with my gynae last month after my menses decided to MIA for 2 months and realised that my PCOS is quite bad + my eggs are not growing well. they are all of the same tiny size when there's supposed to be 1 dominant one.
so now im on revosit, metformin & letrozole when my menses came before CNY.
hang in there ok! lets all jiayou for our TTC journey!
