Hi There, Well I have been diagnosed with PCOS for 9 years now and let me tell you I have been through alot of time and money trying everything out there that I found out about. I went to a Nutrionalist, accupuncturist, herbalist, and holistic doctors. They all worked in some kind of a way.... but only for a short time. I would either start my period and never stop or never start. I am now on Glucophage I have been on it for 3 weeks now I have not noticed anything yet I know I should give it time, I know I should be on a low carb diet which I hate I crave carbs contantly!!! anyway I am trying the carb thing agian and staying on the glucophage I hope this works. Good luck to you!!!
