Well its been almost a year since I started the Insulite program and got off all PCOS medications. As long as my diet stays gluten and dairy free and healthy (little sugar, carbs, etc) and I take my Insulite regularly along with the oil regime I have been getting monthly periods. This started to happen regularly in March, my periods vary in length and time in between cycles but overall I get one monthly, a vast improvement.
I'm still working on loosing the last of the weight, its going to take being able to exercise regularly as I have cut sugar out of my diet. I also found cutting milk out of my diet helped with the foggy head, acne and stomach aches and intestinal issues.
Diet changes have been the major factors in getting rid of troublesome symptoms and in the overall healing process.
More updates to come.

Latest Update
I'm sorry its been a while since my last post. I didn't have much news to report. I got off of the Metformin and Yasmin birth control. I got 2 menstral cycles after getting off of the meds and getting on Insulite. Then I missed 2 menstrual cycles in a row. After missing the last cycle I started following an oil regimen my naturopath discussed with me. I followed it strictly and started on the day I should have started my last missed period. I did 2 weeks of flax oil and 2 weeks of evening primrose. I am still using the Insulite System and follwoing the oil regiment and this month I got my period! Yeah.
I hope now that my body is adjusting to life without the prescription meds I will continue to get a more regular cycle.
After stopping the meds I gained about 5 pounds back and my weight loss platued. I was also still having some stomach discomfort. I've been in denial about the possibility of also being intolerant to dairy. I have not cut all cow dairy out of my diet and my skin and discomfort is improving. I plan on sytarting the 28 day elimination diet soon to make sure there are no other food allergies or intolernaces lurking below the surface.
I am on a regular exercise regimine and I will keep you posted about any future advances toward my goal of loosing about 30 more pounds and feeling better.
