Ladies with PCOS, is their anything else you have tried that has helped reduce the symptoms? I am currently on birth control (Zarah, it's the generic form of Yasmin which I think is not working as well as the name brand), and taking ACE vitamins. I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian (though I'll admit that I have a serious carb and sweet tooth, which I know doesn't help me) and I try to work out five to six days a week to keep my weight down. However, I'm still having problems with acne, weight gain and unwanted hair growth.

I know it's a hormonal imbalance, but how can I help my body out more? Should I give up dairy products? Is there another supplement I should try? I need a little more help than my doctors are willing to give.
