Hello ladies, i am new here and i dont know if i am posting this in the right spot.

I have been diagnosed with pcos just recently. I have the unwanted facial hair, weight gain no matter what, moody, irritable, and irregular periods. not very fun and the husband doesnt always understand. But the doctor gave me metforim,(not sure thats spelled right) and another med to spirulatone i believe. I was just wondering if anyone had taken this medication? i of course read the side effects and i dont really want to take it. If there are any natural ways to control this issue would someone please let me know. i dont like taking any meds not even a pill for a headache. this is crazy i know but thats just how i am , i have a fear of meds. I would really like to take care of this naturally and losing some weight would help so any advice on this also would be greatly appreciated.
