[quote=Anonymous]Low GI diet definitely helps if you have the hormonal issues. Not sure it would do anything if you don't. Amenorrhea by itself is not PCOS. I think the diagnostic criteria is 2 out of 3 main symptoms. I have polycystic ovaries and oligoovulation but NOT other symptoms (hirsutism, excess androgens, amenorrhea, overweight, etc). So I guess that means I am PCOS. However, I got pregnant easily both times I tried and have an oversupply of milk (and very low blood sugar -- like normal levels even not for pregnant women). I'm guessing this is because I don't have the hormonal issues but just have messed up ovaries. My sister has PCOS, too, but has [i]every[/i] symptom EXCEPT polycystic ovaries (go figure!) and she has to do low GI diet and take metformin to menstruate regularly (or be on BC pills, but of course that doesn't help when attempting to get pregnant).
