Dear
Thanks for contacting the Ayurveda section of [A]YUSH and after reviewing your health query, I'm of the following opinion:

1. As you have already consulted numerous Physician(s) of various specialties, so it seems that you already have got an insight into your disease, thus I'll be limiting myself to the basic management.

i. As being overweight is one of the factors for PCOS which in turn causes less sensitivity to Insulin causing high blood sugar [or pre diabetes] thus make sure your weight is in normal range according to your age.

ii. As PCOS is because of low metabolism, thus please check with your Thyroid Profile and Blood sugar level [which are most of the time abnormal in PCOS]

PS. please share your blood sugar test, also let me know whether PCOS is primary or secondary to some disease [opinion of gynecologist]? and is your Menstrual cycle regular or not?

iii. Because PCOS affect Ovulation so do check with your Doctor for Medications, till then

. AVOID: refined carbohydrates (packed cereals, white bread-rice-flour,pasta, cakes ,biscuits, sugar, honey, fruit juice concentrates, starch,watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple,potato,carrots,dried fruits,ice cream,chocolates,jellies, pizza), fatty food,curd,late night work,milk,mustard oil,cabbage,soybean.

.TAKE: fresh green vegetables,whole grains,olives,soy products,whole legumes (peas,beans,lentils),brown rice,oatmeal,barley, green gram, saindhav [rock salt] Lavan, tandulodak [rice gruel],coconut water,vegetable soups.

iv. since PCOS is due to low metabolism (digestive fire) thus medicine will work/ function by increasing the Metabolism by acting as:
. XXXXXXX [appetizers],
. pacahana [digestion],
. ushna [hot],
. tekshna [sharp],
. sukshma [subtle],
. lekhana drugs [anti obese and anti kapha/fat] and thus reducing the symptoms.

PS. I do prepare natural Ayurveda medicine for such pathology which is non-hormonal and free from any adverse drug reaction or side effects. If interested I can courier you the medicine, [In Ayurveda we call it ARTVA VAHA SROTO DUSHTI [Blocked channels], and provide medicine along with certain yogic exercises like Simhasan, Vajrasan, Shalabhasan, Sarvangasana.

v. flax [alsi] seeds/shatavari are a source of plant estrogen which help make up for the hormonal imbalance in PCOS

PS. Whole flaxseeds can pass virtually undigested through the human digestive system. This means that the body will not be able to absorb all these wonderful nutrients found in flaxseeds, this is why it’s important to grind flaxseeds in order to get the desired nutrition [so don't drink the water or swallow whole]

vi. Fenugreek seeds induce contractions [in pregnancy], but because you are not pregnant but trying to conceive thus can certainly take it [as the extract is successfully used in lowering high blood glucose]

Do revert back with your clarification(s).

Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for reverting back.

1. With progression, peripheral tissue becomes less sensitive to insulin and central adipose tissue become more sensitive to Insulin [resulting in central/truncal obesity].

2. Yes, you can fry flax seeds before grinding [because seeds have a high boiling point and high heat stability] so even after roasting the omega 3 fatty acid present in the flax seeds remain intact.

3. Herbs/spices like garlic, cinnamon, fenugreek, haldi, neem, Shatavari, jamun, trifla are good, likewise carrots, cauliflower, spinach, celery, tomatoes, mushrooms, peas, walnuts, almonds, brown rice, herbal tea, multigrain bread, buttermilk is ideal, avoid white sugar, white rice, maida, sooji, junk/ non- vegetarian food.

4. Kachnaar Guggulu, gokshuradi Guggulu, Tablet HYPONIDD, are some of the available medicines in the market, and some are prepared by me which act directly on the pathology, i.e.
-     Which act on the thyroid, fat and digestion
-     Other one acts as uterine tonic and is non hormonal formula.
