PCOS, dieting and IVF

[smallwood31501]

I'm new and I was wondering if anyone had any advise on dieting with PCOS and if anyone knew if taking metformin will help with an upcoming IVF.I take it now but I get so sick when I take it that I stopped taking it but don't know if it would affect IVF cycle.

Hi

I am new to this, was diagnosed with PCOS Jan 08 and have been on metformin ever since. Made me very sick to begin with and weight loss was extreme, have now plateued and find it very difficult to lose any weight now. Although try to follow a low GI diet as this is meant to be best, and attending the gym 3 x week when possible.
Due to start private treatment on 12th October, first consultation, so either IVF or IVM with ICSI.
All unknown at the moment and feeling a bit nervous about what to expect!
