Current medical status: Hormone levels as of June 2007 were normal, and ultrasounds have shown no physiological abnormalities. I used to have a normal (although short and scant) menstrual period before taking the pill. Ob/gyn has prescribed clomid, prevera, metformin, but I refuse to take these.

Current medical treatment: I'm currently searching for alternative methods: TCM, herbs, acupuncture, health - homeopathy so fas has not worked. Did two sessions of acupuncture and quit because of a hematoma."


Most Allopathic doctors do not recommend alternative medicine options for treating poly-cystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a complex endocrine disorder of the reproductive system that manifests with irregular cycles, sterility, overweight, excessive hair growth, etc. It is believed that at the root of this endocrine disorder lies insulin resistance. That’s why metformin is given for treating PCOS. Sterility is present in PCOS because ovulation is disturbed. Ovulation stimulators (clomiphene, FSH and LH and GnRH-analogs) are given to provoke ovulation. You can consult a gynecological endocrinologist for advice and medical treatment alternatives.
