Hi,

I was diagnosed with PCOS last may and was told if i wanted to fall pregnant and ovulate i had to loose weight.. I lost a stone and 5 pounds, my period has recently returned but i don't think i am ovulating, will weight loss help me ovulate?

Alas, I can't answer this question. Does anyone else know? My thinking would be, "No." How about asking your doctor?

That said, I would suggest you lose an appropriate amount of weight regardless.

I can't answer that question about that but a I can talk to you in general about pcos. I have it too I got pregnant at about 185 pounds and was 5 foot 1. ( I have a lot of problems health wise.) some of them stem from pcos. I have diabetes and thyroid issues they can be caused by pcos you should be checked for these on a regular basis now that you have pcos. They will aggravate your weight problems. Has your husband had his sperm levels checked? It did take the right man to get me pregnant. You should look up your odds and severity of the disease. AND all the conditions that come with it learn more about it. on a good med site there is a lot to learn. Good luck

I have PCOS as well and have done quite a bit of reading on the matter. Weight loss and change in diet can help increase your odds quite a bit, but I've also seen other women with PCOS not change a thing and still get pregnant. Low carb diet is the way to go, as PCOS is closely associated with diabetes/pre diabetes. When insulin levels in the blood rise (such as with diabetes), it also causes an imbalance of our other hormones and can cause a rise in testosterone, resulting in abnormal/absent periods and an accumulation of cysts on our ovaries because we are not having our monthly cycle. Eating healthy and leading a healthier lifestyle can bring things back into balance and can increase your odds of getting pregnant.
