Question To go herbal/natural or not?????

A little history: I started the "herbal/natural" route in Summer of 2000.
THen it was a little expensive, with all the herbs and vitamins, so by Summer of 2001 I had ballooned ot 245+lbs.
I decided--ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH so I went on Yasmine and Glucophage.
To date I've lost over 30lbs and I'm about cd24 right now (I discontinued Yasmine around 7/25/02).
I had AF on 7/29/02-8/1/02 and now here I am---very afraid that I won;t have AF on 8/26/02 (cd28).
I want to go back to the herbal route, now that I've lost some weight and can afford all the (Unicorn root, dong quai, and chromium) I want. he he

So: Should I wait to see if I get an AF or start taking my 70 pills a day (I'm being sarcastic--but that's what it sure felt like)???

I want to do all of this and NOT STOP TAKING MY GLUCOPHAGE!!!

Thanks for your help

In another post, you asked where to get the soy protein isolate, etc. Here is a link to an old thread which has my info:

? for those who O'ed with soy protein isolate

I don't use any other herbs, so I can't help you out there.

Good luck,
Cheryl
