So I started DCI exactly 4 days ago. I thought I had totally screwed myself out of an ovulation this never ending cycle - CD 57, had a cold, had the flu, on antibiotics, stressed out from holidays, yada yada yada. I started DCI 4 days ago, and I've got full ferning AND the DARKEST OPK I'VE EVER HAD EVER!!!!
So, the logical part of me says, hey, DCI cannot work that fast. But then I find this study that says 600 mg reduces blood sugar by 22% within 120 minutes of ingestion (which can be found here), and I have to wonder, since I was on Vitex, perhaps the little extra shove was all my hormones (who may have been gearing up to try ovulating again anyway) needed to make the ovulation actually happen this time....hmmm...back to google I go! BTW, here are some sites that I found helpful when I was researching DCI:

My daughter was just diagnosed at the age of 14 as well. The doctor wants to put her on Yaz but I've been doing quite a bit of research and have started her on DCI. So far she's been on it consistently for about a week. I hope this helps regulate everything for her as I hate the idea of bcps. Any advice for us? Thank you.
