Default alternatives to met

I know docs think met is the do all end all of life, but for me it turned my life into living hell. I got fat, acne, lost hair, and was tired 24/7. I quit met and instead found the herb DCI (d-chiro-inositol) and for me it finally straightened out AF, lost a few, and stopped shedding. Got bfp on 3rd month and have DD now. I just wanted to say there's other alternatives to met--herbs, as well as the drugs Avandia, Actos, Byetta, Orlistat, and more.

Sounds like YAZ is a little too low in estrogen for your body. Maybe the sister pill Yasmin? It has 35 mcg of estrogen, YAZ has 20. Progestin is the same.

Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, and the pig likes it.
