HI there  Just want to say again. I don't want to scare you....it's just generally not healthy to not have a period regularly. It might be good to just be on the pill or have your doc give you provera every once in awhile to you get a period. Provera is progesterone, which when you take it for 10 days and then stop you get a period.
Anyway! Glad to help with information. What I've found work for a diet with pcos is carbs are the enemy! They are so darn good, but they really keep our hormones out of wack. At first when I started changing my diet I always ate protein with carbs. Even if it was an apple I'd eat peanut butter with it. Protein is supposed to help aid in the proper digestion of the carbs and not cause as much of a sugar rush as just a plain carb would. When carbs break down they turn into glucose/sugar. When our sugar spikes in our bodies it throws our hormones off.
Recently (jan.) I started eating no wheat and dairy. Very extreme and it took a lot to figure it out and find alternative foods to work, but I lost 17lbs...in about 3 months. It literally fell off. One book that helped me tremendously is The PCOS Infertility Diet book...google if you'd like, BUT it's very extreme and I don't follow it completely.
If you go on amazon.com and look up pcos diet books there are a few that aren't that expensive that could help you as well. Don't feel like you have to do all of this. It's just information to think about and if it is interesting to you to research further.
It's amazing, but our bodies really do respond a great deal to what we put in them. Western (aka/american) is so processed and made in a way that our bodies are not made to be taken in. Whole foods, i know boring, as much as possible is one way to help.
As far as the "pill" there are actually different forms. Some are patches, some you actually place inside of you......I think? Never been on that one, but have you ever seen an actual birth contorl pill. The ones I have I don't even use water they are so small, BUT you could have a really sensitive gag reflex and that not work for you. Ask your dr....write out a list of questions when you go and don't leave until they answer them all
Feel free to post anymore questions!
