PCOS - how much weight did you lose to get pregnant?

Question

I have heard losing 10% of your body weight greatly increases your chances. I've also heard some people say they lost 50+ pounds then got pregnant. Just curious as to it losing weight as helped you, and if you conceived afterwards.

Answer

I have PCOS. I had no cycles for about 8 months when I went off birth control. When I was diagnosed, I began a low carb and low sugar diet (along with regular exercise) to help me lose weight. I believe I am insulin resistant as part of my diagnosis, and I think that not spiking my blood sugar so much helped me lose weight and control my other symptoms (acne was a big one)! I started to actually see some weight loss results and my cycles started coming back (irregular, but there). And then once I had lost close to 10% (5 months later) I got pregnant!

Answer

Haven't gotten pregnant yet, but I lost 50 lbs and my cycle got much more predictable. Went from an average of 2 periods a year to 9 or 10!

Answer

I had lost 40lbs and was started to have consecutive periods when I got pregnant with my daughter. Good luck 🍀

Answer

I am in the process of losing weight myself after 3 years of not trying or preventing, just having lots of unprotected sex 🤷🏼‍♀️ I have PCOS too. I’ve lost 10 lbs so far from just cutting all meat,drinking 150 OZ of H20 daily, drinking green tea every day and changing my over all lifestyle (mindset and mindfulness are very big in this) 
My periods are balancing out and becoming more regular 😩💙💙💙👶🏽 baby dust and so much love to all of you.
