So frustrating - Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Message Board

I have not had a period going on 6 months. The doctors really do not seemed concerned that I have PCOS so I am trying to figure out what I can do on my own. I would like to try something natural to help instead of the clomid. I have heard of DCI and flax seed-any other options or thoughts out there?

Thanks!
Amy

I heard Mexican Yams also help with PCOS. I did a lot of research and one of the things that kept coming up were the yams. I just don't know where to get them and I'm not a big fan of yams. From what I read they would need to be part of your daily diet. If like you like yams they could work.

I know you're looking for something natural, but I'm just curious if they ever had you take Provera? I haven't had a period since September and my doctor just put me back on it to take every two months to force a period. He said in order for my lining to stay healthy, I needed to continue to have a period.

just a thought, if you cant find anything natural that works. i suffered for years before i found a doc that took one look at me and new what i needed. she put me on metformin and spironolactone. one is for blood sugar and the other is a diruetic that has hormonal properties to it. it took a while to get the levels correct but they were eventually found. now i have regular periods, lost about 50 lbs. and feel soooooo much better! anyway, good luck! hope you find what you need.
