You may also go for a more "natural" approach, and try chinese medicine (herbalist or acupuncture). As they try to regulate you internally, the side effects are less than taking Clomiphene or other drugs.
I used to have very long and irregular cycles, but then started taking "Bai Feng Wan" (White Phoenix pills). It regulated my cycles to 3X days.

Hi aussie mum and HappyV
If you don't mind me asking, where you overweight prior to starting your regime?
Reason I ask is that I have recently been diagnosed with PCOS (cycles averaging 80-90 days) and have always eaten well (low carb) and exercise regularly. I am quite thin (170cm / 58kgs).
I have just started on metformin this month.
Given that I don't think there is much more I can do on the diet and exercise front, I am wondering whether you think adding the metformin may be enough to regulate my cycle?
I understand that heavy people often have success with ovulating through diet and exercise but am wondering what thin women with PCOS that already exercise/eat well can do to help themselves? (I have also started acupuncture).
Many thanks in advance!
PS Is there a fertility specialist that is very experienced with PCOS that anyone can recommend?

A friend of mine trying to conceive recommended this book called "Making Babies" by Sami David and Jill Blakeway. I've read it too. Highly recommend to everyone who wants to have a baby, or just want to learn know feminine body better.
Best of luck!

Same with me - always exercised regularly, eat low carbs etc. tried the drugs for six cycles and just had really bad ovarian cysts with them.
I'm on a give up time at the moment. Enough stress and waiting (been over two years now). Going back on the pill for the next few months. I've heard that when you stop taking it you can fall pregnant more easily (guess that's how it happened with my first).
Anyone else tried the same?

Hi,
I also found out that I have PCOS, but we did get pregnant and found out four weeks later that I had an early miscarriage. We want to keep trying but I dont want to keep pumping myself up with the hormone drugs and glucose pills..... i've read that entirely changing to a organic healthy diet can cure PCOS.....
Can anyone recommend a good GYN, I am not happy with the way mine dealt with the situation.....
Please PM me
