Thank you!
D-chiro-inositol is a dietary supplement that is supposed to help with insulin resistance and in at least one or two studies been shown to help women ovulate.
I'm not promoting d-chiro, but it seems to have allowed me to add some fruit back into my diet without having me swell up with water-- a symptom of too much insulin being released in response to carb consumption. As for ovating, I ovulate fine provided I take my metformin and keep my carb consumption low (very very low, like below 50 g per day--which becomes very difficult and boring for me after about 6 months--so I tend to bounce around, 6 months low carbs and about 3 months out of carb control).
There is only one place that I've found where d-chiro is sold and that's from a company called Chiral Balance. If you google that, you will find their website. There are articles about the two studies on d-chiro posted at their website. If you do a search on the discussion boards here there is also a long discussion chain about d-chiro where you can find out more about how it has helped or not helped others.
