Are there other treatment o..

I have polycystic ovaries, but not the syndrome. All that's missing is ovulation - no acne, no body hair, no oily skin, no high blood sugar. I am overweight, but women who weigh more than me are getting pregnant all the time. I want an alternative. Glucophage makes me SICK, so I don't feel like getting jiggy, which is bad when you are trying to get pregnant.

I was pretty much in your situation, at least symptom wise, but I wasn't even classified as overweight. The doctors I have here were really unhelpful, and never even mentioned glucophage. My ob/gyn took an ultrasound of my ovaries (what a trip!) and decided that I was advanced enough that he put me straight on an herbal supplement (used widely here in Europe, so I hear--I'm overseas with the military) and clomiphene. The herbs were supposed to regulate my period, the clomiphene was of course to make me ovulate. This worked for me, and luckily, I only have one bun cooking in there right now.

From my research, I've gathered that MANY women can manage their weight, regulate their cycles and even conceive through diet management alone. Losing 10% of your current body can help regulate your cycles, help you ovulate and therefore help you conceive. Ask them to check to see if you have insulin resistance and consult a nutritionist. There are also PCOS diet books available that you might try, with our without the insulin test and/or a nutritionist.
