I have pretty much all of the syptoms of PCOS - overweight, occasional cystic acne, tons of blackheads, excess facial hair, I feel as though the hair on my head may be thinning, I also have the dreadful boils on my thighs. I can not even remember when my last period was, but I know provera was the only way it happened.
I really want to get myself into a routine that will help me with the symptoms. I'm not currently trying to concieve but I would like to start having a cycle on my own.
There are no naturalist doctors in my area, so I would really appreciate any help you guys can offer.
I have tried flaxseed oil in the past and would like to go back to that. I bought some natural progestrone cream today and was wondering how and when to use it? And what I can expect from it.
I was also wondering what would be best to treat the extra hair? Saw palmetto? Vitex?
Any advice would be wonderful.

Thank you!

Welcome to soul cysters - it's an absolute godsend isn't it!

Well, I'm on vitex (in an attempt to balance my hormones) and milk thistle (to support my liver). No AF yet, it's been about 6 weeks, but could take as long as 6 months.

(I'm using Bioforce vitex tincture, although I understand a lot of other cysters are using the tablets and getting good results).

I'm sorry, I don't know anything about progesterone cream, but understand that saw palmetto is useful for 'hair management'.
