yes, it's weights (or bodyweight exercises like lunges).

Strength training, should be part of your 'medicine chest'. Even more than cardio, it has a positive effect on your hormones.

There's an article in Diet & Exercise titled "Pick Up Weights" that is really good. Run a search for it.

Kat you wouldnt believe how much difference food and exercise has on my cycle. I can get a regular period by eating no sugar and low GI foods along with some exercise. This month I have just pigged out on sugar and had no exercise what so ever and I havent had a period, I can feel the effects of all of this unopposed estrogen in my system and its making me ill and moody. Im going to the gym now. xxx

I would believe it. Healthy eating and exercise are part of my PCOS treatment 'mantra'.

I am thinking maybe this is the place I should have posted in. Opps..Maybe you guys can help me some in here since this is the natural place. Just to put an update this month I am on day 43 with no period. I am drinking some Parsley Tea I was told that may help me start. I am looking to start and end before next Sat when I will get to see my husband that I haven't seen in 6 months. Anyway, here is my story. I do not like the DR, I do not trust them as you will read why, so if you have any help that does not say go to a DR I would love to hear it. Also, before I start, has anyone tried the HYPONIDD Tablets





Category : Tablets and Capsules
Product Code : HYPP_CHRK
Price : $ 4.95
Pack Size : 20 tablets
Quantity :

FROM http://www.indiaabundance.com/fronte..._Hypp_Chrk.asp

Does anyone know how many of these a day you would need to take if you are trying to replace the Metformin with it (I do not want to even try the drug, only herbs)

HERE IS MY STORY:
This is what I am taking. Then I will share what I have been through with you. I want to try the soy isoflavones if I ever start this month.

Chromium Picolinate
1000mcg

Cinnamon
1000mg

E
800IU

Evening Promrose Oil
1500mg

Fish Oil Concentrate

Green Tea
1000mg

Magnesium
250mg

Milk Thistle
1000mg

prenatal

Red Clover
1000mg

Red Raspberry
960mg

Super B Complex


Vitamin K-1
200mcg

Vitex
400mg

Let me see if I can explain this to you. Feel free to ask me any questions. I know you are not a Dr or anything, but I have found out in the past that sometimes the Dr’s know the least.

I guess I should start off with my mom. She had 5 miscarriages before me and they never knew what it was. They just said unexplained infertility. They put her on Clomid and the first month she became pregnant with me and then had no problems with my brother. That was 30 years ago they didn’t know this.

Well, I got married in 2002 and we started to right away try to get pregnant. We were not on any kind of birth control or anything and I never have been (never had sex until the day I got married). Anyway, my cycles were normal most of my life except for a bit my senior year of high school when I played a lot of sports and lost a lot of weight. Until then I was always overweight. Then my senior year of high school and college and up until 2003 I was skinny. In January of 2003 I was doubled over in pain and bleeding a lot. I was in tears it hurt so much. We went to the ER (worst experience of my life) and they said miscarriage (I was late almost 90 days). They did a bunch of internal ultra sounds and all of that and that was the best they could do. Just so you know through all of this I have never had a positive at home pregnancy test. This is just what I have been told by Dr’s and such. Then we waited a few months and we kept trying. I then got one of the so called top 10 OBGYN in AZ at the time. He immediately put me on Clomid and progesterone. I didn’t think he really listened to my symptoms, but then again how many do? Anyway, I gained 80lbs within in that year I was on Clomid. I was on the max dosage. Anyway, in that time we had 2 more as he was calling them Miscarriages (never had a test come up positive) and as gross as this is, I had to take in the sample for him to test. Who knows if he did or not. That is just what was put down in my chart. Well, then he did the dye test and said okay you are cleaned out like spring time now. It hurt really bad and I am pretty tolerant to pain or used to be at least. Anyway, we then moved from AZ to CA and I had a friend in AZ that had several miscarriages and she told me she got pregnant finally from acupuncture. I went to an acupuncturist in CA and she put me on her herbs and did her thing to me and by the second week I was pregnant again about 90 days later I started to bleed again. She told me I was pregnant, but checking me. I seem to make it between 90 and 95 days. Once again test negative at home. Then after about 6 months in CA we moved to KY and I went to see an Amish guy who did Kinesiology and Iridology. He said my uterus was tiled and I was not ovulating. I knew I had problems with this and the only other person that knew this was the acupuncturist. She also told me I have a cold uterus (weak pulse). Well, I did this Amish guys herbs for about a year and I had one pregnancy he said and at 96 days I bleed and had lots of clots. I could never get my cycle back to the same. About a year ago after this last one, I started to have really bad pains on my left side around my ovary. I had no idea what it was and I had it all the time. Well, I went to a clinic here about a month ago and she told me I had PCOS (at least to the best she can diagnose). I have charts, calendars and I wrote down all my symptoms and she knew right away what it was. I do not have insurance. Probably like you, my husband and I are dying to have a baby and I do not know what to do to help this process. I am starting a new diet here (one that my husband has lost 60lbs with). You eat Fresh veggies, fruits, meat or fish once a week, beans, and grains (but no wheat).

These were the herbs I was on from my Chinese person:

Chinese herbs (tea) I take for infertility (8oz day)
He Shou Wu/Radix Polygoni Multiflori
Gan Jian/dried ginger root
Mu Dan Pi/Cortex Moutan
Rou Gui/Cortex Cinnamomi (cinnamon bark)
YanHu Suo/ Radix Corydalis
Fu Ling/ Poria Cocos
Dang Gui/Radix Angelica Pubescentis
Bai Shao/Radix Peony
Bai Zhu/Atractylodes macrocephala
Zhi Gan Cao/Honey fried licorice root
Yi Mu Cao/Herba Leonuri
Yin Yang Huo/Herba Epimedii
Xu Duan/Radix Dipsaci
Chen Pi/ Tangerine peel

The formula is for someone who has Blood deficiency, Blood stagnation and Kidney Yang deficiency ie: painful, crampy periods, lower back pain, infertility, low sex drive, anemic.

Someone told me to take: Fertility Blend

Needless to say I am so confused I have no idea where to go or what to take.

Well, ladies, I did it! I ordered Hyponidd from across the world. It is only 38.00 (thats shipping included) for one months supply. I want to try it for 3 months, minumum. We need to start a special hyponidd thread so we can tell each other our experiences.

Poohbear- The directions sa y take 2 Hyponidd tablets 2x a day, 1/2 hour before meals. That would make 4 tabs a day t otal. One pack of Hyponidd lasts 5 days.

JeanJean- I havent started it yet, Ive just ordered it, its on its way here to the US from across the world! I have never taken Met so I wont know the difference, but I do know that Met can cause side effects and there were no side effects from Hyponidd in the clinical studies. If Hyponidd brings back ovulation for me it will be my personal miricle. I have not Ovulated at all this year!

Mizzstee--can you tell us how much licorice you took to stimulate Ovulation and what days you took it on? I tried it with over3,000 mg a day for 5 days and I didnt Ovulate.

I will post how Hyponidd works, but the clinical studies are for 3 months, so it may take a month or two to show results, like Met?

I just got my Hyponidd today. I forgot that I even ordered it. It must have taken at least two weeks to get here. I am a little scared to take it. I also take other herbs and don't know if they will work together. I HATE doctors as well, so I really don't want to go to one. Let me know what you guys find out!

Wow , thanks for this post! It's definately helpful. There are so many natural things that doctors say help but I don't know which one to go with. I'm looking for the one with the highest success rate. Vitex has done wonders for me so i'm definately happy about that!

Hello girls.

Well I started this Hyponidd thread, but I havent actually taken it yet. This is because I still am finishing my D chiro inositol that I ordered (hyponidd has d chiro inositol in it too) and the D chiro was VERY expensive so I dont want it to go to waste. I have another 2 months supply of that.

I know you all want to hear about hyponidd but as I havent started it I have nothing to report.

On a good note, my brother who is a Dr has read all about hyponidd for me. He believes that it is very effective and has advised me to go on this rather than metformin. Hyponidd contains D chiro, and since taking the D Chiro 1200mg per day I have lost 7lbs without diet, I do not gain weight whatever I eat, my acne has disappeared, my ovulation this month was very strong as my temperatures were very high in the luteal phase for the first time in my life.

I will be starting hyponidd next month and I will report all progress here.

GOOD LUCK!

Pooh bear sorry to hear you have had such a rough time

What did your Dr prescribe you for the PCOS? Hyponidd is good for PCOS as it works like metformin and may help you. Weight loss is a very good start!
