Does anybody have any tips or diet advice for PCOS? Anything that's induced ovulation etc?

I've recently started using inositol 2 x daily and only change has been a lot of CM.

Read a lot about spearmint tea and its potential testosterone reducing properties too. I had started drinking a few cups a day but unfortunately the doctor has asked for cd 1-4 and 19-21 tests to confirm my raised androgens so I've stopped it for a bit.

I'm on cd 50 and have never wanted AF more in my life Angry. Just want diagnosis 100% confirmed before I start 'treating' it in whatever ways I can.

Another question I have is, if I am TTC and not ovulating (99% sure I'm not) can I ask my doctor for clomid straight away? August will be month 8 of TTC.

Hi I am new to this too, and I have PCOS, and August will be our 8th month of ttc. I went for 4 loads of blood tests and only 1 set came back to show that I had ovulated (4th set) and the doctor said we should wait until 12 months as 80% of ppl conceive within a year, if no BFPs by then I should go back and they will give me Metformin I think which is supposed to help? Xxx
