Hi Joanna,
Thanks for the advice, I actually have been exercising more, but maybe I
should change my diet. What kind of herbal remedies would you
reccommend? I really think that would be something worth trying, because
the pill does not work and I want to have children later, so any
treatments preventing that would be out of the question. I do think I
need to find another doctor because mine does not seem to understand. If
you could let me know an little bit more about your aproach, I would
appreciate it. Thanks for the advice.
