Good Basic Info by Kristen Cook (Buffalo, New York) 3 Stars
October 04, 2009
Good information about PCOS, gives a general overview but doesn't give enough specific diet information for managing PCOS. Definitely recommend "New Glucose Revolution" for this.

I FINALLY understand what is going on with my body now that I have read this book and recommend all who even question if they have PCOS to read it whether they are trying to conceive or not. It is an EXTREMLY easy read and I found myself almost finishing the book in one night! I did not feel that this was written from one doctor to another but for REAL WOMEN who battle PCOS everyday.

If you have PCOS get this book! by jenjen (Langley AFB VA) 5 Stars
September 22, 2006
Get this book if you have PCOS, even if you are not TTC it will answer every question you ever had about PCOS. It is a really great read and I suggest you get it. I also bought the Insulin Resistance Diet book, because it helps with the symptoms of PCOS.

Excellent for Anyone with PCOS that is Trying to Conceive by Janet Lee Brown (Beaumont, TX USA) 5 Stars
June 13, 2005
I would highly recommend this book to anyone with PCOS that is trying to conceive. It is full of great information. She doesn't just give the technical information, but talks about the emotional aspect of coping with infertility. I love all of the books that I have read by Colette Harris.
