I got the PCOS diagnosis April 2007, when we first approached the clinic about TTC. The aim back then was to get it under control enough to TTC, so I went on the pill (Diane) for 4 months.

That was horrible and I reacted pretty badly to the pill. The worst was the nausea the first few nights after starting back on the active tablets after the sugar pills. In short, I DON'T want to go back on the pill.

Anyway, after having Jazz AF went back to normal pretty much straight away (8 weeks PP) and was regular for 4 cycles until Dec/Jan when I got AF. Then 7 days after Af finished I got a full=on AF again. And since then nothing (the second AF finished January 7).

Which, TBH, isn't that big of a deal to me LOL Actually I thought it was because I was bfing overnight again (Jazz slept through 6 weeks to 4 months - which was beginning of December). But I have been getting the PCOS symptoms again, and over the weekend I hard excruitating abdominal pain like before I had Jazz (and in particular the time when TTC when I developed a really ouchy largish cyst).

Anyway, I am going to the GP. A new one, because we moved. I don't want to go see someone private because well its not a cheap option... Anyway, going to the GP and just want to be armed with all the knowledge I can be armed with. I don't know of any other treatment than the pill? And I really really really REALLY don't want to be on the pill. Plus I'm bfing, so I can't anyway can I?

Ok, firstly, do you think that even though I've been diagnosed they'll have to do more tests? Should I insist that they do if they decide not to? Is there anything i can ask for them to do? I am not sure of any of this since my FS made the daignosis and put me straight on the pill and booked me in for a lap so i never really discussed other treatment.

Apart from the pill and Metformin (which I think is a diabetes medication?) what else is there? Is there anything natural that I can take?
