White carbs cause PCOS!

[LouiseB]

I was reading a fertility magazine today at the hospital and there was an article about how to be healthy and all that stuff.

You know, the usual - stop drinking, no smoking, yada yada...

Well then it went on about a recent study that investigated PCOS being related to insulin and bloodsugar.

White carbs like sugar (in sweets and alcohol) and bread and pasta cause your blood sugar level to suddenly rise and then suddenly falls as your body over compensates by releasing loads of insulin.

This is the primary suspect for preventing ovualtion and causing PCOS

I was kind of aware of it through Princess using metformin (a medication for insulin resistance) to treat her PCOS but i found it quite shocking really.

I hadn't read it in such a black and white context before

PS - everyone who is ttc should be screened for Rubella, i have meant to mention it before and just remembered now

That is interesting!! I use to eat lots of sugar and White bread and have 'mild' pcos, the month of my BFP I had cut that all out! I wonder if that helped with my ovulation?! Xx

I gotta have a blood test on cd 2 to check for rubella, doc said its to make sure I dont have it as it can be extremely harmful if your pregnant x

Anyone know if u still need to get checked for Rubella if you were vaccinated as a teen? I know some vaccines sometimes need a top up.

 

[Vickyxx]

We asked about that as we were vacinated at school for it but my doctor said that it can run out xx

 

[Nurse 26]

Ah i see... thanks for that vicky, when i did my nurse training we had to get vaccinated against Hep B, blah blah but they also did a blood tests to see if we needed another MMR vaccine and i didnt need one so i guess that means i have immunity.
