Looking for Insight.

Hi all, My name is Anna and I am from Pittsburgh, PA. I have PCOS...LOL..wow this just sounded like an AA introduction. Sorry lol. Anyway, Ive had irregular periods since I began my cycle at age 13, only to find out when I was 18 that I have PCOS. Since I was 13 I have been off and on birth control. Since I was 21 I have been off and on metaformin. 3 years ago, I decided to stop taking everything. I was done with all pills, still am. I don't want to be on metformin and birth control anymore and definately don't want to be on that roller coaster of on again and off again anymore thats for sure.
In the last 3 years, my weight has gone up and down. My mood has gone up and down. My periods have come regular for 7 months and then irregular again. I am now at the point in my life where I want to take a more natural approach with fighting my PCOS and wanting to have a baby.
I seen a product called D-Chiro-Inositol and seen that they benefits are very desiring, however, the side effects are kinda scary. Has anyone here taken this and what has been your experience and side effects, since I know they differ for everyone? Any insight would be so appreciated and helpful.
Thank you.
Anna

Hi Anna! I have not taken the DCI but I take Inositol which is a generalized form. There is a thread on DCI that a bunch of us are active on here in Alternative therapies/supplements. A few of them take the DCI. I've read a lot about it too. You can go join us on that thread if you would like. I can understand about not wanting to take the BCP and Metformin anymore. There are alternatives. Good luck in whatever you decide to do!
