Herbal ways to bring back periods

[assilembob.livejournal.com]

first off - i have the angry for a reason blog bookmarked.

My friend is a military spouse currently stationed in Germany. They want to have thier first child together and her first child period (he has 2 from a previous relationship, one of which they have custody of).
She went off HBC in April of 06 and has not had a period since. She had them the whole time she was on HBC. The military doctors said they wouldn't discuss fertility problems with her until it had been at least a year since going off HBC.
Now her doctor is telling her that she has no estrogen in her system at all and it's because she is diabetic from polycystic ovaries (which she NEVER was diagnosed with before). The doctor gave her stuff to "check her blood levels"and pushed her out the door, without explaining how to do that.

She has to wait til Sept. to get another doctor. In the meantime (and while she is pushing charges on this woman) is there anything she can to to help bring her levels back in check? Can PCOS really cause diabetes (I have it and have never been told that)?

Anything I am forgetting? Anywhere else I can look?

Thanks in advance!

okay. but keep in mind, i had to do a lot -- like an hour of cardio almost everyday, because you're trying to kickstart your metabolism. u could also see if she can talk to her primary care physician about getting on metformin.
