thank you, Jocelyn, i probably should have included some background...

i was diagnosed with PCOS in 1983, and advised to "just stay on the pill"
i was infertile in my late teens till i got my weight down to under 60kg at 164cm height
i had twins (with no family history) at 23, full term, high birthweight
single birth four years later, full term, high birthweight
i have never smoked and until the last few years, rarely drank alcohol
i was a vegetarian for many years, eating our own produce until i became very ill with glandular fever and bahmar forest virus in 1994
in my quest to get well i have used acupuncture, homeopathy, naturopathy, kinesiology and chiropractic, and i also stick fairly solidly to the "eat right for your type" diet.

i'm a remedial therapist in private practice since 2001 (diplomas in remedial massage, remedial therapies and reflexology) and an aged care worker

since i fell pregnant in december i have been taking blackmore's pregnancy and breastfeeding gold, blackmore's cal/mag mix, flaxseed oil by the dessertspoon daily, and initially fefol as well.
in february i was diagnosed with a missed miscarriage at 9.5 weeks, loss of heartbeat, an underdeveloped by two week fetus, followed by a D&C.

i continued to take the above supplements.


my first cycle to ovulate since i fell pregnant again, miscarried at 7.5 weeks over the weekend, again with an undeveloped by two weeks fetus/fetal sac.

i've added 1000mg of vitamin C to my regime, and was taking blackmore's celloids silica while i was bleeding.

i have approached doctors and my naturopath here in coffs harbour many times with the PCOS problem, and cannot get any action. at the moment i have 12-15kg to lose, and am clutching at straws!!

i'd love to book in with you but victoria is just too far away, and there's no naturopath here in coffs with any idea about PCOS, so i'm trying to find out as much as possible for myself.

i appreciate your reply
