I had a chance to talk to my college friend who has been married for 6 years, but still working on having a baby. I found out that she also has a PolyCystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) like me. She has been taking medications to regulate her menstruation and waiting to be pregnant.

I’ve been trying to lose weight for quite sometime now, but still finding it hard to lose weight despite jogging, eating less, and taking a diet supplement. I have observed that my metabolism had slowed down. I have read that being heavy weight and having trouble losing weight are effects of PCOS, which I was diagnosed few months ago. I have also learned that chances of having it are higher if other women in your family have PCOS, irregular periods, or diabetes. My father has diabetes, as well as my 2 older sisters. Haay, I have to really to work hard on losing weight. We need to change our eating habits and exercise.
