Question about BCP vs. natural treatment Hi- I've had PCOS since since the time I was a teenager (now almost 16 years) and I've been on everything since then, (Provera, Yasmin, etc). I went off the pill about 6 years ago b/c the side effects were just too much and I wasn't feeling like myself. I was ok until recently, due to increased stress at work, weight gain, and my PCOS is now back in full swing. My doctor prescribed YAZ but I'm hesitant to go back on the pill (first because of my own experience and second because I always hear so many horror stories). Does anyone have success stories where they treated the PCOS (in my case ,manifested mainly through cystic ovaries, abnormal hair growth, which I'm managing through laser hair removal, and out of control hormone levels...my sugar levels are actually fine) through natural remedies or even with just Metformin? Thank you so much! Any advice on how to treat this without the pill would be great. |
