So are you trying to just make sure you're getting your period (menstrual cycle), or you are you talking about ovulation? Because clomid is for ovulation. (although I suppose if you ovulate you should get a cycle)

If you want to make sure you're getting a period every month, I would use progesterone cream (days 14-28 of your cycle, or post ovulation for 14 days depending on your cycle).

If you are concerned about ovulation, there are a LOT of different natural products to use, and it's hard to say what would best benefit you, as every woman with PCOS is a bit different.

I'm currently taking something called Glucoplex for blood sugars and, Estro Adapt to help get level out the good and bad estrogens. Those are natural products that are supposed to help get my body functioning more like it should, and balance out my hormones, but they don't "trigger" ovulation per say, like clomid does.

My naturopath is also going to start me on something called tribulus, which has been shown to assist ovulation, however, it has to be used carefully in PCOS because it does have the potential to increase testosterone a bit if you're not careful with what else you're doing/taking (bad for PCOS since we usually already have high testosterone).

I'm on a low carb, high fat/protein, no added sugar, low natural sugar diet.

There is Vitex, which seems to be used by quite a few PCOS women.

But I would probably see a naturopath and talk to them about this, because it's impossible to say what would benefit you, and what would just send your hormones even farther out of whack if you just start adding in a bunch of stuff on your own.

I just started using Vitex again on Aug. 7th AF was lost since 04/28. I remember taking it a few years ago, and it brought on my AF...I wasn’t trying at the time to get pregnant as I was taking a break so I don't know if it brought on Ovulation, as I wasn't checking. I am happy to say that after AF being scares for almost 4 months 20 days after taking Vitex she came! I think between losing weight, eating right, and the vitex it helped bring it on! My doctor told me that if I don't take care of myself now, I might get Type II Diabetes as a lot of women with PCOS get that. Maybe you did have it and now it’s gone because you now have the Type II diabetes or your doctor before thought you had it as you were already diabetic and you also had the Thyroid issue.

I am doing the same diet as CharRicho. What are you doing for your diet? I hope everything works out for you!

Oh wow! I wish in a way I could say I wasn't hungry and I would forget to eat. That is NEVER the case for me! I need to eat about every two hours, or I gorge myself at my main meals. My aunt is like this and has PCOS as well.

Your supplement drinks do they have sugar and carbs in them? Being a Diabetic you really want to make sure you are eating right and enough to nourish your body so it doesn't cause any other issues as I have seen people who didn’t and it can cause issues with other things. I am sorry you didn't have a Doctor that explained what could happen if you didn't take care of yourself with the PCOS. It could be that it was when you were 15 and they didn't have very much research on it yet. I know a lot of doctors still don't know much about it! It is hard to find a doctor that is knowledgeable in regards to the PCOS. I find most my research on the internet! I am sorry that because of that doctor you are paying for it now.

For your headaches, if you were used to drinking soda every day, and it had sugar, your body is having withdrawals of both sugar and caffeine. I had this issue as well when I found out I had PCOS my doctor said NO MORE REGULAR SODA! I went through the worst withdrawals ever! Now if I drink a regular soda to get my sugar up or more than 4oz I get a UTI. My doctor said that is normal for someone whose body isn't used to sugar anymore. Give it about two weeks and the headaches should be gone. If the headaches are still bothering you I would say speak to your doctor about it.

What medication are you on for you diabetes? I am taking 2000mlg of met to help me not get diabetes and help with signs of my PCOS.

I would say you should really change your eating habits and see if this will help you with Ovulation and getting AF. If that doesn’t work I would say take the Clomid to Ovulate. I hope it works for you better than it worked for me! I had the worst headache, my husband said he was ready to kill me…as I was acting CRAZY, and some of the worst hot flashes! I did blood work and nothing!!! No such luck. My doctor wanted me to lose weight and try it again..maybe after I lose some weight it will work.

Like I said in the last post I have been taking Vitex and I got AF 20 days later, if you were interested in trying that! I hope that everything works out for you!!!
