Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Mainstream ObGyn doctors will almost always recommend the birth control pill as first line treatment. The birth control pill will suppress your normal menstrual cycle and simply provides a band-aide for the underlying problem(s). 

Please know NaPro Providers to not prescribe the birth control pill. To the contrary, we believe the birth control pill is harmful to women physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We pride ourselves on taking our patients OFF hormonal contraception, finding the root cause of their symptoms, making a proper diagnosis and providing superior treatments for all of the conditions we treat. 

For more information about the spiritual harm brought  into the relationship via contraception, visit my CrMS page, scroll to the bottom and read about SPICE. 

NaPro providers offer many types of pharmacological treatments, which are oftentimes inexpensive and/or able to be purchased without a prescription, such as: 

• If your cycles are very long, we may decide to do a "Progesterone Challenge" . You will be given 200 mg of bioidentical progesterone to take for 10 days at bedtime. 
• A "withdrawal bleed" should ensue approximately 3-6 days after  the progesterone is stopped. 
• If a bleed does not occur, we may try another challenge with 400 mg of progesterone for another 10 days.  
• If we find that your progesterone is low, we may consider giving you progesterone replacement therapy, which will be timed specifically to your unique CrMS chart. 
• Myo-Inositol and D-Chiro Inositol are excellent supplements that can help, especially if your blood insulin is high. 
• NAC (N-acetyl-cysteine) can help promote healthy ovulation and increase cervical mucus. 
• Cervical Mucus Enhancers: Vitamin B6 500 mg SR daily. If this is not sufficient, we may add on Guaifenesin 600-1200 mg twice daily and/or antibiotic starting on P-5 and continuing through P+2, timed to your CrMS chart. 
• Naltrexone can help especially if you have associated PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) symptoms.
