Default I don't know if I am doing this right, someone please hep

So I got dx with PCOS 9 days ago, dont know which kind, my doc never gave me my lab results, I just know I have PCOS. I have belly fat and I get very ill after eating bread and prossessed carbs, by ill I mean dizzy nauseous and BLOATED. I also have bad acne and since getting off the pill last September I have only had 4 periods. So I started taking Vitex exactly 1 week ago today and am also taking 2 different tinctures containg Blue Cohash, False unicorn root, Donq Quai, Chaste Tree(Vitex) Ginger, Cramp bark,and wild yam. I am also drinking red raspberry leaf tea. I do not know if I am doing the right things though. I have cut out most sugary food and bad carbs. But shouldn't I feel something? I feel good, my moods are better and stuff but shouldn't I feel something going on down there? I barely feel anything except for a twinge here and there. I would really appreciate any advice given.

I am alot like you, I stopped my birth control pill too , which helped alot of my symptoms and suppressed my acne and made my hair alot thicker. now im not on anything and am trying to take the herbs. From what I have read from other cysters herbs are gentle and take awhile to work and find the right mix. I dont think you will feel anything down there , unless you get bad pain when you ovulate? sometimes women who ovulate dont feel anything at all. I would just hang in there , and focus on how you are feeling generally, no abdominal swelling and if some other symptoms are letting up. like the acne and such...also if the natural medications dont seem to be working well , you could try seeing a natural homopathic Dr. im sure some one at your local health food store could recomend one. also a good natural supplement to atke for acne is saw palmetto , it reduces androgens , the main cause of hormonal acne. you can also get mild anti androgen properties with spearamint tea. fish oil is good too. overall, it sounds like you are taking the right herbs. Good luck, and you can always go back on the pill, right?

Default Thank You

Siayae, thank you so much for your reply and for the encouragement! I appreciate you. I don't wanna go back on the pill because I am afraid it will make things worse when I get off and try to have a baby...... I do not want to have to take fertility meds to get preggo. Thanx again for the advice and encouragement.
Christina
