Lean Pcos & Natural Conception

anna

Hello Ladies,

Hoping for some insight from any of you who may have experienced or do experience what I have or any holistic practitioners out there who can lend some advice! I was diagnosed with PCOS about 4 years ago, and was told by the male doctor that my only way of conceiving was by taking birth control or metformin. I refused both and he rolled his eyes and said, “well, these are your only options.” I highly doubt that! I have periods nearly every month — irregular, in that sometimes they are late or sometimes early. Some last 5 days, while some can last 2 weeks. I could afford to gain some weight, I’m told. I’m 5’4” and 103 pounds … which fluctuates only by a pound or two, but usually on the lower end. I’ve been trying so hard to gain weight for 4 years, but nothing. Could this be primarily the cause of my infertility or is it in addition to my pcos? And supplements or foods I should be taking/eating?
