Question Need to try something new

Ok, so I have had PCOS probably since I hit puberty since I had been dealing with excess hair and weight gain, irregular periods since I started at the age of 10. Well I was only diagnosed with it at the age of 28, i am now 30. I have one son and it took forever to conceive him, though I never knew why. I had preclampsia and had to have him early. I had gestational diabeties too. Well never once since I had been going for my yearly exams had any of my dr's ever mentioned pcos. Well I stubled on the subject a coule years ago so I talked to my new gyno about it, she did all the blood work, and sure enough that is what I had. She put me on Loestrin FE and Metformin and I hated it. I did not tolerate the metformin what so ever, it made me sooo sick. SO I discovered that there was a RE at another hospital here so I made an appointment with him. He did an ultrasound and said my ovaries were full of cysts, and repeated bloodwork. My DHEA sulfate was really high. So he puts me on YAZ first, I bled for a month straight. So then he put me on yasmin. My periods got regular, I was on it for a lil over a year. So I got off of them in March because the risks scare me. Well they were regular until this month, I am on day 36 and no sign of AF. I had cramps off and on for about a week, was nauseated, breats sore, tired, but I have taken a million tests, and I am not pregnant. This is driving me insane.

So now my question is, I have been wanting to try going the herbal way, but I don't know what I should start out with. Can somone help me. I have seen the posts for the DCI, but just wanna make sure it is right for me before I buy a 3 months supply.

You may want to start with 1 month to make sure you don't have side effects before buying 3 months worth. It really bites when you have a reaction to something you just spent a fortune on!

If you haven't seen this thread yet, Beat PCOS, Get Regulated- Best combination I'd definitely check it out! Herbsgirl has a wonderful line-up of where to start. I've done very well with it!

Another vote for that thread! That thread is actually what got me interested in my current regimen. I've been on it for a little over a week so I can't really tell you if it's working. I think it depends on what your symptoms are. I have elevated testosterone and I'm insulin resistant... so I focused on correcting the insulin problems with cinnamon and DCI. OO! Check out the DCI thread too!

Goodluck and keep us posted!
