Question PCOS & No Longer TTC

Looking for help/thoughts. I gave up the TTC route about 6 years ago. I was put on Dianette to help with my skin etc. Everything was fine when I was on them but I had to come off of them a year ago. Since then I have felt (agitated, dizzy) and I am almost certain of each day I will feel like this about 7 days in the month. The doctor has carried out various blood tests and these have come back ok. He has suggested at this visit that I take evening primrose oil and since I have been taking them I actually get a nights sleep but as for other feelings I will have to wait and see once have been taking them long enough only been on them about a week. I feel since giving up TTC I have been left. I don't know if there is anything I should really be doing or taking.

Any thoughts on this would be gratefully received.

Irene

Hey Irene,
i'm only 20 and have never ttc, but i was was put on dianette in sept 2004, but had to stop taking it in july of this year 2005 due to suffering from severe depression which i got while on it. i felt awful for ages after coming off it - sick and dizzy etc, it takes a whole for your body to adjust to the different levels of hormones in your body - my gyn said it can take up to 6 months or so for the effects of the pill to be totally gone and for your body to readjust. i'd say just make sure u exercise and eat a healthy balanced diet - try to choose wholegrains, oats etc over refined carbs to help keep blood sugar levels constant and prevent sugar cravings, eat lots of veg, snack on nuts and seeds, fish and chicken (u prob know that already tho!).
i'm going to start taking vitex again - its supposed to help promote ovulation - i took it for a few months (july to end of sept) and had regular periods on it but stopped when my gyn said not to bother with it but havent had a proper period since so thinking about going back onto it to help regulate my hormone levels. ive heard EPO is supposed to be good so i'd say keep taking that - i take well woman - a multivitamin for women which has EPO in and it seems to help.
good luck, hope the dizzy spells get less! its good you're now sleeping better.
