 New here - confused about what herbs to take & when?!
Hello! I am new here and have not been officially diagnosed with PCOS yet. I have two children ages 5 & 3 and have been off the bcp ttc# 3 since March. I have had maybe three periods since then. I don't fit the pcos profile exactly, but am pretty sure that is the problem. I am not overweight, but I weigh quite a bit for me. I am 5'5'' and usually around 120 lbs and am at about 135 lbs right now. I have acne and hair loss. My head hair is super thin, but I don't seem to have hair anywhere else. I do have to shave my legs and pluck my eyebrows almost everyday though. We are switching to an HMO and have an appt scheduled with my ob/gyn for Jan. Hopefully I can get her to listen to me!
Anyways! I am taking a few herbs and am so confused and overwhelmed about what to take and when. I am currently taking Natural Progesterone cream to induce a period. No questions about that - I know I need to take it from the day after I would ovulate until about day 26. I am also taking Vitex, EPO, Red Raspberry Leaf & False Unicorn Root. DO I take these all my entire cycle? I will also be adding Saw Palmetto and Chromium w/ Citrin to my list and was wondering if I should take those the whole cycle too. I haven't had a period since October 20th, so hopefully the herbs will help! I am also on a Low GI diet to see if I can shed some lbs on my own to see if that helps me regulate. I have had two children without any problems, so hopefully I'll be able to conceive again soon. Nice to meet everyone!
