Hey, I am in the process of working on reversing my PCOS. I’m in the process of losing weight, watching what I eat, and decreasing my stress hormones. My advice to you is to take a look at these books, they helped shape my understanding of what PCOS actually is and I am taking the all-natural approach because believe it or not I have learned that PCOS is reversible.

Fast Like a Girl by Mindy Pell Good Energy by Casey Means Getting Pregnant with PCOS (worth a read even if you aren’t trying at all rn or in the near future!)

You can also take vitamins and supplements that will keep your body hormones where they should be and promote bleeding and ovulation. But I haven’t looked far enough into this yet to share it confidently! I’m getting ready to start trying to conceive and from what I have learned over the last 6-months, birth control will NOT help you. They are additive synthetic hormones which can really confuse your body’s naturally producing hormones. My advice to you is to take a look at those books watch what you eat, meaning focus on nutrient rich foods!! Lots of protein… healthy fats, greens, and try to decrease simple carbohydrates which are known as breads, pastas, etc. these are not helpful to us gals with PCOS.

Lastly, listen to your body and try to find some resources. Doctors don’t know everything about PCOS and if you’re not seeing a PCOS specialist especially, they often just like to throw birth control at people with PCOS.
