It should be noted, though, that I went into the doctor last Wednesday on a pseudo-emergency run, and the doctor saw my supplements and asked about them. I told him why I took the DCI, and when he saw how far along I was and when my last period was, he commented "well, yah, that's pretty regular. What's this DCI again and how does it work?" I immediately fell madly in love with this 70 year old doctor - Wait, I thought to myself, you actually INTERESTED in my alternative medicine????? So I told him about how DCI binds to IPG, sits on the outside of the cell, and when the insulin drifts by the DCI picks up the insulin and goes back into the cell telling it to shut of insulin production, which turns off testosterone. I told him current research tends to think that PCOS stems from an inability for our bodies to create DCI, thus it starts the viscous cycle. I told him Metformin works because it's a chemical that tells the body to make more DCI. I thought what the hell and just took the DCI to see what it would do. He was soooo interested, and said he needed to read up on it - if a vitamin can do this to you, it's a miracle! I though, ummm, I know. Then he said he wanted to watch me closely because he hadn't seen a PCOS person come into his office that hadn't taken fertility meds to get pregnant, and this was interesting. I'm telling you, DCI IS A MIRACLE!!!! So I go in again today for another progesterone blood draw, and I'm bringing him a packet of info I found. I know this is a bit ballsy, but if it helps even one more women, it's worth it!
