Polycistic ovaries?
I have pcos and am corrently getting treatment for it. I am constantly moody and am fed up of having my painfull and heavey period every month, is there any health probs if i stop my medication as i seemed better before taking them.
Answers:
I don't know what your medication is (synthetic hormones?) but your symptoms are on http://www.ylcf.org/hormone-imbalance/06... and suggest to me that it is causing further hormone imbalance.
This is one the pages I came across doing a search for "natural progesterone pcos"
http://health-zone.biz/pcos.htm...
You may wish to do the on line hormone tests at http://www.hormoneprofile.com or http://www.johnleemd.com
If as I suspect they recommend you obtain hormones please have a saliva test done see http://www.npis.info or http://www.salivatest.com. A saliva test will check out active hormones something that blood tests do not. The WHO (World Health Organisation) uses saliva tests.
If a hormone is suggested by the saliva test please take the dose suggested. Size 10 shoes are not twice as good if you have size 5 feet.
A transcript of a John Lee talk http://www.keepsmilin.com/transcriptdrle... I have transcribed John Lee's December 2002 & June 2003 talks

Any of these talks explain why for active hormone levels a blood test is worthless. Blood tests find hormones, but they are the ones on their way out of the body having done their work. They are not the active hormones.
I would rely on a saliva test to confirm the requirement for progesterone or any other hormones.
There is a list of doctors at http://www.npis.info who are aware of the benefits of natural progesterone they may be more helpful than your GP. Maybe you are about to educate your GP before using the hormones.
In countries other than the UK there are doctors knowledgeable about natural progesterone and other hormones
Natural progesterone means natural to humans i.e. identical to that produced by the human body.
For a good explanation of how vital natural progesterone is to humans see
http://www.hormoneprofile.com/howhormone...
and other pages on this site
Wild yam is that Wild Yam the body will not convert it to progesterone. Also do not take fake/synthetic progesterone/progestins manufactured by the drug companies they will be of NO benefit.
After having done a saliva test any progesterone you buy must be natural progesterone USP. USP means United States Pharmacopoeia.
If you skip to the end of http://uk.geocities.com/willim_walker@bt... there is a good summary -- 22 Susan Aschoff - St Petersburg Times Summary
When your hormone balance is better you''ll be better
