Maybe it’s just that this book is a bit outdated? Not sure. But wasn’t very representative of diversity, various family structures, etc. It made me feel worse about myself and my PCOS then when I started.

A quick and easy to understand read for someone just diagnosed with PCOS. I've had my diagnosis for years, though, and this book didn't add anything to the knowledge I already had. It really played up homeopathic remedies and overly stressed the "dangers" of medical treatments like Clomid and IVF.
