Hi i been dx with pcos since 1993 when i was 16. I can not take provera or bcp to bring on my periods because i had a stroke while on provera in 1992 when i was sixteen. I am not ir so met is no good for me. It seems like my symptoms of pcos is getting worse. I am on a low fat diet where my cholestrol is up. If u got any suggestion please reply or pm me thanks.

Just wanted to give your post a bump up so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle. What symptoms are you experiencing that you'd like to try to control naturally? I don't know much about all this natural stuff but I'll try to help.

Shellfish has asked a good question. What symptoms do you want to work on?

Also, with your low-fat diet, are you eating many refined carbs? It is possible to do low fat without lots of carbs, by eating veggies and whole grains. If that's what you're doing, great!

Let us know what you're looking at, specifically. And go ahead and do a board search, too. There is lots of information here that isn't on the first page anymore.

Thanks for the replys. Where i am on a low fat diet i eat alot of vegetables and whole wheat products. The main symptoms i want to work with is my increased hair growth and period problem i can go 2 yrs without one.

I don't know of anything natural for the increased hair growth--but I haven't searched for it either. I do know that a lot of ladies have brought on periods by using Natural Progesterone Cream. You use it 14 days and they when you stop--it should bring on your period. Use the search button at the top of the main screen on this message board and put in "NPC" and it will pull up a lot of links for you so you can see how it's worked for others. I hope someone else will know what you can try for increased hair growth. You may try going to the message board on this site called "hair in the wrong places." Good luck!!
