New Science About PCOS and Possible Hope for Future



Recommended Posts

Thank You So Much Fluffy Chick this might explain why I had 2 babies post 30 after trying to add to my family for so many years! Such a gap that one of my obstetricians asked, if by chance was This Baby's Father my Second Husband? Nope they all had the same Daddy!

Thanks for this @FluffyChix. Really interesting!

As someone who had two boys, one at age 22 , with medical help, and another at age 32 without help - a wonderful surprise- this might make some sense. Hmmmm....

I had one baby at 29 without help with PCOS and a second one finally at 35 on femara. We are done having children but always interesting to read more about PCOS developments

So all those doctors who told me again and again, when I was in my early 20s, that I caused my PCOS by being overweight were full of s... Not only did the doctors say it, but it was believed by the general public too. I'm glad that the latest generation of young women hopefully won't face that kind of prejudice.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
