This is my first post - Yep another girl with PCOS and yep another girl that has tried almost everything - So we all do lots of searching on the PCOS subject and all of us feel like throwing the computer across the room - Most of us want Babies - some have had children, some have had MC and some have had babies that we hold for a moment.
When I first saw the blog on DCI - I read everything - then read it again - the next day I ordered it - then it came I have been on it for 10 days and OMG - it like I am 18 - I feel great - not tired, no upset stomach, no great aches and pains - It is like my body did a sigh of releif- I have not felt this good in so long - Now this DCI is expensive, but it works for me - I will give up something in order to feel this good. I eat very healthy and exercise 5 days a week for 45 minutes a day - So far this DCi is wonderfull - I am not as hungrey nor do I need to eat as much. I am 150lbs and lost 3lbs within the first 4 days - we all go up and down in weight, but I have stayed 150 the past 6 days- we will see - I will post more. If your thinking about DCI - Just start it and see - thats all we can do, but we have to fight this Crazy PCOS!!
Well -I think I started AF - or spoting with clots - still feel great still lots of energy!!! Hair growth has slowed. Not so hungry through out the day still!!!!
I ordered from Chiral Balance it is expensive, but I take two a day at night and I feel so good - I have so much energy that all the house work gets done and I started a garden - I noticed today - I live in Tucson, AZ and it was 103 - I noticed that I could be in the heat - Before this DCI the heat would make me feel awful and I would not sweat - I noticed that I got sticky so my body was trying to cool its self. Also I noticed that when I eat I don't want as much food - I get full fast - Also I drink a lot of water - I bought a Rubbermaid container that hold 20oz and I drink 4 to 5 of those a day - There are some other blogs about the DCI - read them - but think about the DCI let me know if you have questions. I will post more as I continue!
Hey, I just started d-chiro inositol yesterday. I just got off birth control because it was actually chemically convincing my body that i was pregnant. I am noticing that my hair is thinning at a rapid pace does d-chiro help?
Was your hair thin when you were on birth control? I Love the DCI - My hair has become thicker and feels great - I will tell you that you have to take the pills everyday - DO NOT MISS A DAY!!! I take two of them. I just can't beleive the difference. I have tried so many things and this is the first thing I have tried that makes me not miss a day of taking the pills. my nails are growing faster. I don't get tired. I am not hungry all the time. I also started the IR Diet - started it yesterday. I love that I am not hungry all the time or craving food. (because of the DCI) Please let me know how you are doing. Your body is coming off BC and that can make things crazy. I will keep you posted to.
Thank you so much for posting, Reags. I just ordered DCI through Chiral, and received it in the mail today. I'll start first thing tomorrow morning. I have had thinning hair for years (male pattern baldness type), and some hirsutism, so I have very high hopes those things will be helped with the DCI. I also get horrible migraines regularly, so I will be interested in how they might be helped.
I also started Saw Palmetto as an anti-androgen and have added chromium, B5, Biotin, Vitex and a few other supplements as well as my usual vitamin supplements.
Your post gives me hope that I will be feeling as great as you are soon! Very happy for you! I'll keep you posted on how I do on the DCI.
I was taking DCI from another maker d-chiro-inositol.com, for like a month and a half. I was lucky enough to conceive and have a baby naturally but after birth and while breastfeeding my symptoms started to come back and I also was ready to start trying for #2. So, I started taking DCI and was able to bring my cycle back with it. Then I stopped taking it and my cycle got weird. So I've been making the muffins. I think they are helping me ovulate, but I have to eat three to get enough DCI and they are not helping me lose any weight. So I went ahead and order the pills chiralbalance and I'm hoping it continues to help.
I'm wondering if any of you taking DCI have noticed improvement with the some of the undesirable PCOS symptoms, if so what improvements did you have?
I have noticed that I don't get hungry - I have lost 5lbs in 3 weeks - I also have noticed that my hair is fuller and the hair growing other placed has slowed down a little - I am tracking this - I to get crazy headachs I was getting them everyday. For three weeks I wet with out headachs was soo nice- I did however get one yesterday, but I think that is because my body is starting to work. I am not tired and had AF came. Also the weight lose has been nice - I also started the IR diet which is nice because I can still eat things that I love, but I make sure I don't eat to many carbs, so I learned that I can have 3/4 cup of Mashed potatoes and only have 17 grams of carbs so that made me happy.
Tea for Two - I have taken everything that you listed and the DCI has been the best I hope it will be for you to. I have niticed the headaches have been better.
For_ like_Ever - I started to read about DCI on here then I searched it on the web- A lot of articals come up on it - If I find something I will let you know - are you trying things now?
I thought I read somewhere, maybe on the boards, that they were supposed to be taken on an empty stomach, but I didn't notice that written anywhere on the Chiral website. Anyone know if this is the case?
Reags: I am with you on LOVING DCI!!! These are my magic pills! Worth their weight in gold!
Tea for Two: Up to 150 lbs you take 600mg (1 capsule from chiral balance)/day over 150 lbs 1200mg/day. I don't remember reading anywhere take with or without but I have to take mine with food because they seem to get stuck if I don't follow them with something solid to push them down.
Things I have noticed: Skin is softer...way softer, pores are shrinking, facial hair growth slowed down, cravings have vanished...especially sweet cravings, more energy, depression not a problem anymore and sex drive improved.

Thanks for all of your responses of what you all have been noticing with the DCI so far. It gives me hope to hear how much it is helping everyone. I should also mention that besides bringing my AF back, my acne is much improved. But, I haven't been that consistent in taking the DCI though since I started trying to take it with food (buckwheat farinetta...I just got sick of making the muffins all the time). I'm hoping that once I start the pills again I will start to notice hair in the "wrong" places start to slow down too.
Tea for Two: When I ordered from Chirobalance a box popped up for me to read, it recommended taking the DCI all in one dose in the morning before eating. It didn't say "on an empty stomach", but just to take before eating, I think. Not sure that it really matters though, since many people are getting results while taking it with food.
One more thing...once I get my order I will have 4 months worth at 1200mg a day. I paid $270 for 240 pills @ 600mg each. They are running some kind of special deal right now. It came out to like $33 a bottle and I thought that I might as well order it in bulk to really give it a good try.
DCI - D-Chiro-Inositol and WOW!!! 
Thanks, Reags! Starting DCI tomorrow
