4 weeks on DCI--- 1200 mg (even though I am a larger girl and could take more, but can't afford it).
Changes observed- decreased hair growth over entire body, increased energy, decreased appetite (even though that doesn't stop me from eating all the time), BBT fairly level between the high 96's and 97's. I haven't observed a O yet, just stopped spotting for the past 6 weeks so I feel like my ...
Haven't rec'd my DCI yet in the mail but thought I was just chime myself into the new thread so I get the email notifications and keep up to date with all of the progress everyone is seeing!
The chiral site pointed me to here yesterday. Has anyone arrived at a conclusion as to why ob/gyn's don't even mention such a treatment? I was diagnosed in 2000 as PCOS. Looking back, I can tell you i was PCOS as a teenager. Hirsuitism and unpredictable periods. The hair has gotten worse. Granted, as teen sugar was my best friend. My weight stayed at a reasonable amount til my 20s when i ...
texacacti-
regular Inositol (also called Myo-Inositol) is different than D-chiro Inositol, as it seems that DCI works better for insulin resistance and BMI than Myo-Inositol does for these things.
Both of these supplements are good for PCOS, and both have positive effects on PCOS. For the best effects, I think both should be taken. Myo-Inositol http://www.europeanreview.org/...
I just ordered mine, and received it Saturday.
One question - if you have to take 2 pills (1200mg), do you split it up to twice/day? Or do you take them both at the same time daily?
Thanks - E
The original study was done taking 1200 mg after waking in the morning on an empty stomach, then you should wait one hour before eating. It is important to take it the same time each day, and not miss a day. Some women do take it more than once a day, but I find it hard to take it later in the day. Its best for me right away in the morning, and then wait to eat usually.
I've ordered inositol and will see how I do with that. Are there any known issues in regards to taking these with Yasmin?
How many people have seen their ldl or triglycerides drop?
Does anyone who is taking or took DCI know their pre and post testosterone levels? It would be great to have a DCI thread with before and after testosterone numbers to measure the concrete impact. I just started taking it a little less than a week ago.

Maylove, I definitely get and agree what you are saying about taking info with a grain of salt (we should all do this for sure). Thankfully DCI has a growing evidence supporting its use for PCOS. Don't let one bad experience turn you way, this is a great website where women with PCOS can get support/info and I hope you find the support that you need.
Moredd, SO sorry for your loss. But like the others have said and it seems like you realize this too, now you have a normal monthly chance to get BFP which totally changes the playing field. I finally decided to reset my cycle with Prometrium. I was on CD43 with no O and no sign of AF. I think i'm going to continue with my supplement and Met regimen and also try soy this next cycle. Still haven't O'd or gotten AF on my own...
Daisy- I am just fininshin my first bottle of DCI (2 month supply) as of last week I started taking 2 pills instead of one (one in morn one at night)...now I'm wondering and this question is for everyone...I had CM with streaks of blood yesterday (just once) and now I have itching and a white/yellowish discharge (sorry again TMI), but I was reading up on it and it said that hormonal changes can cause this..I have never had one before and...
Prayers for you, mschin! I didn't know that having long cycles was an issue until my RE told me that it causes endometrial hyperplasia. I was very scared because after my last m/c and starting metformin I had a 70 day cycle and then like a 53 day cycle. He said that I should never go that long without callng him because he could start my period with drugs (or whatever it is they give you). I am worried too only because while now that is...
maylove: So sorry that RoseGeranium offended you or Anne or whoever. I just hope you can get the the support and information you need to kick PCOS's butt. Maybe you can use some of the info that Anne (RoseGeranium) has got. Best of Luck!
Hi All, UPDATE: Wanted to let u all know I have been taking one teaspoon of Myo-I and one capsule of DCI every night for exactly 2 months now. I wanted to start on half a dose for the first cycle and then on the next go to a full dose. It was a very long cycle but for the first time ever I havn't had a lot of temp fluctuations, its been between 97.1-97.3 every day, and I had the longest luteal phase I have ever had. It still wasn't...
