Hi! I too like you was diagnosed with PCOS at 13. I've been on so many forms of birth control and metformin all these years and still had no periods. I'm 9 going on 10 months post op and went for my ultrasound to see how my ovaries are. to my surprise I got a phone call on wed asking if I was pregnant I of course said NO. But the doctor asked me to take a pregnancy test right away I took 7 and all positive. I'm very skeptical and trying not to get excited but its hard. I go tues to see the obgyn nurse so I'm praying for the continuous good news! I've been on birthcontrol the past 3 months faithfully and metformin for the pcos. So if this is real im not sure what has happened but I certainly understand what your going through!

I am sorry, that the other member said it is not suggested any more, however I have helped a woman to reverse her PSOS. The focus should be healthy weight loss and eating foods that are good for thyroid and PSOS. Plus there are a number of foods, to avoid when you have an under active thyroid.

Below are foods great for PSOS

D-chiro-inositol (DCI) offers a well-tolerated and effective alternative treatment for PCOS.

Soy Lecithin

Soy lecithin is a food additive derived from soy beans that is used an emulsifying agent. Soy lecithin contains 2100 mg of D-Chiro-Inositol per 100 grams of foods, making it one of the best sources of D- Chiro-Inositol. I would personally suggest obtaining your soy lecithin from eating organic soy beans, made as beans or steamed and eaten from the pod; called edamame

Buckwheat
Buckwheat is actually a fruit. Buckwheat can be separated into flour, kasha, grits, groats and buckwheat bran, which is also called farinetta. Farinetta contains 84.9 mg D-Chiro-Inositol per 100 grams of food. Buckwheat bran can easily be added to mixes of breads, pastas, pancakes and any other recipe that requires flour or breadcrumbs.

Fig Leaf Melon
Cucurbrita ficifolia, also known as fig leaf melon, fig leaf gourd or Asian pumpkin, is a squash native to North and South America and is commonly used to treat diabetes in Asia because of its high D-chiro- inositol content. The fruit is oblong and weighs over 10 lbs. when mature.

Carob
Carob syrup (used to make carob chips) and carob powder, which can be added to many baking recipes as chocolate substitutes, are also rich in D-chiro-inositol. You can add the powder to smoothies, or make carob clusters. (recipe in Lose Weight Gain Health Eating Out guide) Carob is going to be your friend when overcoming your drug addition to chocolate. Carob can be used in most places that chocolate is used. Malt sweetened chips are better than ones sweetened with white sugar. You can make hot carob drinks, carob cookies, add it to banana bread etc.

Beans, Legumes and Grain products

Some other foods that are very high in D-Chiro-Inositol are beans, legumes and grain products. Chickpeas, for example, contain 760 mg of D-Chiro-Inositol per 100 grams of food. Brown rice contains 700 mg of D-Chiro-Inositol per 100 grams of food. Wheat germ contains 690 mg of D-Chiro-Inositol per 100 grams of food. Other great sources include lentils, with 410 mg per 100 grams of food; barley, with 390 mg per 100 grams of food; oats, with 320 mg per 100 grams of food, and whole wheat flour, with 170 mg per 100 grams of food.

Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits are vegetables that are high in D-Chiro-Inositol include oranges, which contain 210 mg per 100 grams of food; peas, which have 160 mg per 100 grams of food; grapefruit, which has 150 mg per 100 grams of food, strawberries, which have 95 mg per 100 grams of food; and cauliflower, which contains 92 mg of D-Chiro-Inositol per 100 grams of food.
