Vegan, plant-based diet good for conception?

Question

I have PCOS and am considering a vegan, plant-based diet to see if it can help me lose some weight. Has anyone had any success with a vegan diet? Not just for PCOS, but is anyone aware of any benefit it could have on ovulation/conception?
I know, grasping at straws...

Answer

You will lose weight for sure. For me that's not a good thing as I am super thin so I have to be sure I'm eating a ton of fat from coconut milk, cashews and avocados. The other benefit is that it totally cured my IBS, and I have very little bloating. I have also noticed that i look younger than when i first started a vegan diet(I was 26 when I went vegan and now I'm 31) its pretty amazing what it does for your skin. Just be very aware of your iron intake by eating lots of greens, protein and fats( nuts, beans and rice, avocados etc) but as long as you're eating healthy and taking a b12 you will be fine. I always suggest getting blood tests every few months when first going vegan to be sure you're not missing anything. You have to relearn how to eat so it can be easy to miss stuff and not eat what you need.  If you do have a deficiency you can incorporate a vitamin or food that will help support your body.
