[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming PCOS, what can be done??  I have it, and have yet to find a dr who can help me. Metformin does nothing, bcp makes me gain weight...  I want to do something abt it, but what can make my horomones change??[/quote]

Diet, exercise, and vitamins.

I'm 25, have PCOS, and got the wonderful weight gain and hirsutism that comes along with it. But I have a clotting disorder so I can't take BCP at all. My doctor has me on a heavy regimen of vitamins, especially C and D (Thorne brand.) Then I also take a vitamin called Pregnitude... Yes it's made to help female fertility, but the Folic acid and Myo-Inositol are awesome for reproductive health in general. As for diet, avoid soy (our bodies respond to the phyto-estrogens, and with PCOS we have too much estrogen as is) and stick to a whole foods diet with lots of colorful veggies, fish, and water. Los of fiber as well, to slow digestion and level out insulin release (because there is a correlation between insulin and our ovaries.)

So far, I've lost 30 pounds and my periods have come back after being completely absent for 3 years. I feel a whole lot better since my hormones have leveled out. No, it's not an immediate solution to the hair problem, but it solves the underlying cause of it. [/quote]
