For exercise, I'm simply walking outside my house everyday (up and down the street). I started for 20mins, now have increased to 30mins. On top of that, one of my "homework" assignments every week is to leave my house, and go to a park and stay there for an hour. I usually just sit there, lol, but at least I'm out of the house.

I asked her to put me on metformin because I also have PCOS. Her response to that was: "I don't really want to give you a medication that will help you get pregnant...I mean, do you really think you should be pregnant right now due to your mental health?" For me, getting pregnant would be a blessing as the chances of it happening are slim to none, so why wouldn't I do anything to increase that chance?

Darn too icy here to be walking outside. I hate living so far north at times. I got some walk at home dvds from the library but took them back unopened.
You lost 25lbs with PCOS!!!! I know how hard that is. I have had severe PCOS since I was 16. There is a good chance you could get pregnant on met, that is all I was on when I got pregnant or you could need fertility drugs, it just depends on your body. Personally, I think you should be seeing an OB/GYN about the PCOS instead of your family doc. It was my OB/GYN that put me on the met. I am now off the met although at this point still considered diabetic. I have at least 100 lbs to lose but I would love to start even with a 10lb loss. Also, I was on prozac while I was pregnant with my son, they even upped my dosage, and he is fine. Also, don't wait too long to try, I was 35 when I was pregnant with my son and 42 when I was pregnant the second time. I went through fertility treatments after that and still no second baby. I am 44 now and have given up.
