Okay I know there are many posts about saw palmetto on here already, and I read them! But for some reason my questions just dont seem answered. I just did a bunch of reason, and Im seriously thinking about trying this. I have really bad Hirsutism, but I am not loosing hair on the top of my head. And I also dont suffer from bad acne. I just did some research and saw it can increase breast size?? (my husband probably wont mind that lol) And I also saw it can help with weight gain.. now thats the OPPOSITE of what I want lol.. Also my periods are irregular and was wondering if it helps that at all?

Please give me your input. I am interested in trying it but dont want to get it if it makes me gain weight! lol

Hey LisaLeah!

Saw Palmetto affects everyone differently...I have been on it for a few months and I dont see much of a difference; my breasts are still small, my belly is still in classic PCOS form and I am still as hairy as a bear; yet I'm willing to give saw pal more time. It's not an instant remedy although I wish that it was! I have read postings with people raving over saw pal, but I'm sorry that I am unable to say the same yet...

Some cysters need a combination of natural remedies to see desired results for their various symtoms, so it's a matter of finding what works for you. I am currently using a variety of recommended remedies, that I think will address my needs in particular and may not suit anyone else; so there is no one size fits all remedy for the horrors of hirsutism.

I am also going for laser whenever I can, as not to rely on the natural remedy suggestions alone. A change in diet and exercise is strongly recommended as well, in order to enforce hormone balances. So it's a long road my dear cys...find your path.

Oh, and did I mention that I hate PCOS!

I was on it for several months and saw no difference in anything. Not hirsutism, hair loss, periods, moods...nada. I've tried pretty much every herb out there that's suppose to be good for PCOS and none have helped me. The only thing that has worked for me is fish oil and flaxseed oil for my high cholesteral. It's done wonders to bring it down w/o having to add yet another prescription drug to my arsenal. But try running a search for it on this site, I'm positive I've read of several people having good results and hopefully they'll be along to share more with you.
