Dr. Vliets new book on PCOS

[Guest guest]

Just received her new book from Amazon. I've read most of it and for anyone that

may

suspect PCOS it is very good. I found a couple of passages that discuss cyst

formation in

the ovary and she states that some of them produce progesterone. I have thought

lately

that the disordered menstraul cycle can be caused by these cysts producing too

much P.

I think that might be the case w/me. She also talks about some women being

particularly

sensitive to progesterone. About 2yrs ago I had a cyst that ruptured and the

weeks before

this I had severe fluid retention, breast pain and was not able to have a bowel

movement

for 7 days.

She also mentioned that when in peri-menopause there is more cyst formation.

(whether

that is from declining E or increased LH surges not known).

Just some thoughts, might be of help to anyone in the same situation.
