I have been reading on here about NPC and various other natural remedies which seem very interesting to me, but it seems as if you have to be ovulating first in order to use them. What if you do not have a period and you do not ovulate (not to my knowledge anyway)? I have high testosterone levels but am not insulin resistant. Thank you!

I think NPC is used to also bring on ovulation and menstruation. Maybe you can use it until that occurs, and then follow the instructions once your cycle is on track.
Good luck TTC. I see you're thin, but all it took for me to conceive was a 30-pound weight loss and a baby aspirin to help with bloodflow to the uterus. Worked like a charm for us.

I am not sure yet if I am ovulating, however, I have started taking cinnamon supplements as recomended by lots of women on this site. It acts like metformin without the perscription and side effects. Even women who are not IR can bennefit from it. i am supposed to be NON-IR and I started it and have more energy, ability to focus, and feel full longer than ever before.
Try it out! My cousin took my work for it and just started today and she is LOVING it already!

Before I knew I had PCOS I was on the acne.org site trying to find a cure for my acne and regulating my irregular periods when I found a thread on Fish Oil and decided to try it. My AF was round 35-45 days at the time and I wanted them to come regularly so I could pinpoint O better for TTC. I wasnt concerned about how many days but as long as they werent irregular I had to take 6 capsules and I was really skeptical but like clockwork for 4mths my AF came every 28/29 days, so im assuming it helps for ovulation too however im not positive as I never got preggas found out I had PCOS and went on BCPs which was hellish.
So at present I am in my 2nd cycle after coming off BCPs but its not long enough to see how irregular AF is? and im back to taking the 6 capsules of Fish Oil a day like I was prior to PCOS diagnosis to help out with my TTC..... AGAIN lol...

What dosage are you taking of the fish oil? I have been taking 2 of the 1200mg capsles? I take them in the morning. I would like to know in what amounts and how many times a day you are taking them so that I might give that a try?
I started the fish oil last month and for AF on CD 37! It lasted for 4 days but was very light. However it was my first that I have had on my own so I thought the fish oil might have played part in it.
Thank you

To regulate AF you need to be taking atleast 6-8 capsules of the regular Fish Oil daily. You can buy more potent doses but of course that would be reflected in the price.
Regular Fish Oil comes in 1000mg capsules with EPA 180mg and DHA 120mg with a total of 300mgs Omega 3 fatty acids. Its the omega 3 content that you are wanting and you need atleast 2000mgs (2grams) of the Omega 3 for it to be effective for AF. I learnt this from the acne.org site and for controlling acne you need to be taking no less than 12 capsules a day, 3 1/2 grams, I have never tried taking this amount plus I'd be broke so im not sure how effective it is for high testoserone levels and acne.
