I have heard that PCOS sufferers should take FLAXSEED OIL. But which is better...The Oil version which you drink or the Flaxseed Oil Capsules?

Actually, should be taking the med metformin (that will significantly help in regulating cycle/ovulation) for PCOS.
On the flaxseed, prefer the flaxseed oil capsules. For PCOS, low-diet in general should help significantly as it manages/reduces insulin resistance (just like metformin).
Good luck

I also have PCOS and at first I was put on Metformin, even though I was not even pre-diabetic. It made me very sick all the time, and I finally just stopped taking it and switched to Diane-35, which is also birth control. If she's worried about negative side effects with Metformin, she should tell her doctor to explore other treatment options, like birth control to regulate her hormones. It worked better for me, since one type of medication is not for everybody. Hope this helps your friend! take care!

Either is helpful. Here is a great site about PCOS http://soulcysters.com/
Best of luck to you! If you are currently TTC, I reccommend coming to http://www.mycycle.com there are many ladies there trying to get pregnant with PCOS.
