I was DX in 2003. I was put on Ortho-tri-cyclen, which I read on this site was not a good idea. I had regular cycles and with exercise I was able to lose weight, but I did gain it back once I stopped. I was able to ovulate naturally after stopping the BCP, but not until I started supplementing with Cinnamon, Flax Oil, Fish Oil, Fertility tea, Sometimes Dong Quai and the cycle we did get pregnant, I massaged Castor Oil until Ovulation. Also, I was not yet Insulin Resistant, although I was overweight and I started to gain weight in the mid-section once off the BCP. My Endo. says she will recommend Metformin once I have given birth and stopped breastfeeding.
