lcalio Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Hi Gals. I'm 45 and have been battling PCOS for a bit over a year now. I have gone through the bloated stomach that makes me look 8 months pregnant, my beautiful hair went to crud, my skin was horrid (blotches, dark patches everywhere). Tired all the time. I gained over 40 pounds in 1 year. The worst part of it is having a period NON-STOP since June of last year, heavy/light/heavy/light. I had no idea what was wrong with me until I got diagnosed with PCOS. And being diagnosed took at least a few months after seeing 3 different doctors. I went on Metphormin for a few months but found only a little relief and it helped my weight loss zero! Which is the key to curing PCOS. A girlfriend of mine turned me on to Whole30. I of course was skeptical until I read the book which was very well written I must say. The first 14 days were hard but I started to see drastic changes with my PCOS conditions. My horrible bloating began to dissipate, my bleeding began to spot less and less, until about day 12 I had 4 days of severe cramping, clotting every 15 minutes like never before, but I made it through and after that the next 6 days I had ZERO bleeding for the first time in 10 months! Than another week went by of weight loss and spotting began again. Another 3 days of massive clotting and cramps that felt like I was going to give birth. But again I made it through because I knew something was happening and things were shifting within my female body parts. So tomorrow is my Day 30 and I feel 100% better, 18 pounds of weight loss today on day 29 and my PCOS symptoms are continuing to subside. I am definitely continuing past day 30 in the hopes of my PCOS disappearing all together. Wish me luck! Link to comment

Kirsteen Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Well done! That is absolutely fantastic. I am going to send that post to my daughter. She's 27 and has PCOS. I've tried to persuade her to try a W30 or at least read the book and see what she thinks. She's currently in a particularly stressful situation at Uni. A 40,000 word piece of original research with original computer programming due in mid-April. She's agreed to read the book once that's finished. I'm going to send it to her with that post printed out to encourage her. Thankyou for posting it. Link to comment
