PCOS/THYROID

When I was 23 I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and put on birth control to regulate my symptoms of heavy, painful menstrual cycles.  I wouldn’t realize the connection to insulin resistance until several years later when I started trying to conceive my first child. I tried for almost a year to get pregnant after which thanks to an amazing Reproductive specialist,  I started a low glycemic diet and was pregnant within 6 weeks. I have been on some version of a low glycemic diet since then.  

PCOS in the news

I was diagnosed with Postpartum Thyroiditis months after having my most recent pregnancy.  At the time I was found to have a Multinodular Goiter, had biopsies and have had at least a couple of episodes of thyroiditis in the last 18 months.  This is perhaps my most evolving and newest challenge. I will try to share as I go along.
