Any natural remedies for elevated testosterone levels?

I have elevated testosterone levels, which is probably why I am not ovulating. Are there any natural remedies that can help reduce testosterone and/or help me ovulate. I don't have another doctor's appointment for two months and I don't want to just sit around and wait, so I was hoping there was something we could try in the meantime.

how is your other hormones level?
if your estrogen is normal to low you can take spearmint otherwise if your estrogen is high which is usually the case take sawpalmetto (make sure you dont overdose tho)
start with 320mg a day dont you will see the improvement in 2 months however if your are trying to ttc you got to ve careful since it will cause some birth defects

I have the same problem. I read that soy lowers testosterone levels in men. I've started eating soy nuts and drinking soy milk. It might have the same effect in women? I think it's worth trying.
