PCO: Loosing weight to fall within your recommended BMI is great but there is no guarantee that your cycle will re-regulate once you fall within that recommended weight range. It is true that if you are too over or under weight your cycle can become dysregulated but PCO encompasses so much more than that. Reach your target weight and see what happens. If you don't regulate, then chat with your GYN
