Have had a lot of hormone problems for a while now and have only had one af since septemter 2008, been to several hormone doctors, finally diagnosed with pcos, want to do natural supplements, my symptoms are not like most, never had the acne, hair loss, the most noticable thing is my stomach i look like i'm about 5 months pregnant which i am not. i have spent weeks reading about every thread on here, i also have no energy, low libido, depression (probably from looking pregnant) i do not want to get pregnant, so that is not an issue. From what i have read on here the best supplements for my pcos would be the inosital along with choline and cinnamon, saw palmetto? any other advice would help me alot, and am at my last straw!!
Hmm, I'm not sure where you would start. I used Vitex in the past and it gave me regular cycles but based on bbt I wasn't ovulating. I've also used Soy Isoflavones like you would take Clomid and then used natural progesterone cream after ovulation. I've also dabled with castor oil packs but have no 'proof' that it works but i'ts nice and relaxing and I do get the occasional cramping after using it. I've never used anything else.
Hopefully someone else will post some helpful suggestions for you and share their personal experiences with what you've listed trying. All the best!

For Hormonal issues - take maca (this will also help with energy and libido) and evening primose oil
Confused do you have hair loss or not?
Make sure your taking a good multi-vitamin, try GNC's women's ultra mega
Stomach - Diet is key - cut out all refined carbs, sugary and salty foods, eat every two to three hours.. follow the GI diet (protien, veggies etc.)
Have you had your insulin and glucose checked? Try adding apple cider vinegar, pine bark extract, aloe vera juice to your diet.. D Chiro Inostial, spearmint tea should also help
my story....any advice????
