I got into an argument with an OBGYN, so I am getting a second opinion with an endocrinologist to find out some methods to help treat PCOS without using birth control. I have also been prescribed with an anti-androgen (spiro) but I am not taking it until I get my second opinion this week.
I was just wondering if there is any Breast Nexus veterans with PCOS and what their program consisted of? I know all too well how dangerous herbs can be and don't want to negatively mess with my body anymore than it already is (my testosterone is almost 2x the standard amount for an average woman and I have multiple cysts in my ovaries). I feel a bit lightheaded when I take fenugreek so I think it's a sign that I don't vibe with FG.
I have no experience with PCOS however as someone who once needed anti androgens and took spiro for majority of my teenage years it really is the safest anti androgen out there, the side effects are far and few in between and the only real one is the fact it makes you crave salt alot more since its also used as a diuretic(water retention in other words makes u pee alot more) thats the literal only side effect I had in the 7+ years I was on them. Imo its the safest method, you could try the natural route of spearmint/peppermint however natural routes for anti androgens rarely work effectively enough for those who have very high T which from what you have said is your case.
