hi everyone. i am new to this site. i have had pcos for 9 years now. i have tried clomid when i was 18. the dr gave it to me for 6 months and then told me that it was not doing the job. he did not try anything else. i have went untreated for since then. i am 27 now. i have irregular periods. i have since i was 13. the only thing that drs want to do is put me one bc. you can not get prego on bc. i no longer have insurance and i was wanting to know if there is anything i can do to possible treat this myself? maybe a otc rememidy?
I too have been trying for almost two years, so you are not alone! from everything i have read and been told by my doctor, who i love, diet and exercise are the very best things you can do to help manage your symptoms of PCOS and help you conceive. I have insulin resistance but I am not overweight so I don't need to lose weight, but I did have to realize that because of my condition I need to go on a diet...one that will give my body the fuel it needs to function properly. i found two books that have really helped me understand how insulin resistance and PCOS affect me and how I can take control and manage my symptoms...and hopefully get pregnant soon.
Two books i would really recommend are called "The Insulin Resistance Diet" and "The PCOS Workbook". I hope this helps!

hi! i have not been tested for that. yes we are trying to conceive. we have been trying for almost 2 years. my goal is to get pregnant. also i want to lose weight which i am working on that. i have lost 10 pounds already in 5 weeks. i want to somehow regulate my periods also. facial hair does not bother me. also mood swings could be better. like i said i do not have any insurance and i was wanting to know if there was anything i can do on my own to fix these problems. any help is good help.
If you have PCOS there is a very strong chance you may also have insulin resistance. Have you ever been tested for that? Since you say you tried clomid I am assuming that you are trying to concieve? What are the PCOS symptoms that you are trying to manage, or what is your goal of managing symptoms (are you trying to get pregnant, lose weight, get rid of unwanted facial hair/acne etc?)
