Nestler and colleagues studied the effects of d-chiro-inositol on 22 women and found that it increases the action of insulin and improved ovulation in some of the women. (N Engl J Med 1999;340:1314-20) This is experimental and too early to tell if it will have any clinical value.
Spironolactone is an antiandrogen and can help to treat acne and hirsutism. It does not increase ovulation or fertility.
I don't know what Tireodin is. Maybe you can educate me...?
Do you have PCO? Are you being treated? How was your diagnosis made? Has your doctor recomended these treatments?
