Same, metformin helped me after 3 early term miscarriages have my beautiful daughter. Unfortunately, my doctor won't prescribe me metformin because he says I don't need it due to my A1c levels being normal. 😢
Myo inositol did it for me after 7yrs ttc. I was booked in for ivf and a tubal scan! 2 months before my ivf was due to start I gor my bfp, no treatments needed. 4 moths on myo inositol powder was what did the trick. I've just started taking it again hoping for a secondary little miracle. Good luck to all of you who are ttc, keep strong, you can do it ❤
I am on synthroid, metformin, letrozole, ALA, NAC, Reservatrol, inositol, CQ10, b12, vitamin D, and just did the trigger. Currently in the TWW. January 24 is our bloodwork. 3rd month, 1st with the trigger
I wanted to try natural things first so have just started taking a PCOS supplement with 4,000MG of myo-inositol and 10.000MG Maca and have seen very good reviews. What do you think of these two?
so if I am thinking of taking birth control pills for menstrual regularity. but the root cause is lack of ovulation/PCOS then is that counter productive because BC pills stop ovulation?
Can we talk about lean pcos? I ovulate with metformin it seems or at least opk tests say I do every month. Nothing happens though, not pregnant each month
About to start letrozole tonight and have been on metformin for the last month so excited and hopeful for this cycle. I heard some ladies use both clomid and letrozole have you found any one having success with this?
Just about to celebrate my little letrozole baby’s first birthday next month. Have hope and be prepared to be really moody hormonal and having hot flashes for the next few days.
Go low carb (less than 20g total carbs per day) Your cycle will be regular in about three weeks. You'll notice huge reduction of PCOS symptoms by three months. PCOS symptoms will be totally gone between 6 and 12 months. I see it happen all the time in my online low-carb community. I'm happy to explain more, answer questions, or address concerns (especially about cholesterol, etc).
I'm not even sure I'm ovulating or when my next period will be, I have been trying for almost a year well on and off because my husband works overseas so the once in a while going to make it even harder😓😓and I'm on metformin and was taking Provera 10mg
Sorry, I know that this is a old comment but I also have periods each month and was told my body tends to “skip” the ovulation process. So I’m basically having a period even though an egg was never released apparently. 🥴
@@tranell2056what’s the solution for this? My ovulation strips say I have a peak but I never get pregnant. Does that mean I’m not actually releasing the egg regardless of my peak? Ugh
I have PCOS I was told 20 years ago that I'll never have kids. At 38 I had my first, ended up giving birth at 28 weeks though (emergency c-section) due to severe preeclampsia. 8 months later got pregnant with my second baby but gave birth too soon she didn't make it. However I got the nexplanon & went 2 years without a cycle, gained weight drastically so I had it removed. 5 months later I had my cycle that lasted 7 months, after it finally stopped I hadn't seen a cycle since. They put me on metformin tested my hormones my cycle still didn't return. I happened to find my bottle of medroxyprogesterone & took 10mg for 5 days & low & behold my cycle came back after 7 months of no sign of it. Hopefully everything return back to normal, I think I want one more before it's too late.
They prescribed me progesterone because I don’t menstruate but I haven’t taken it because I’m too afraid of the side effects & just the overall idea of taking medication
@@MyonlySecretHi! Sorry to bother you hope you’re doing well..I have been taking progesterone pills for about 6 months now (provera) and I have not had any bad side affects it’s affects everybody differently but I’ve had very good regular cycles since then I got put on letrozole at same time and my periods are regular and I’m ovulating! Don’t be afraid of these pills mama they helped me they affect everyone differently but I’m finally off it and not having any problems with my cycles or side affects…
I don’t want children at the moment but I have pcos and am on BC rn but I want to get off of it and try something else like metformin, can someone whose taken it or currently taking it tell me how it is!!
I am having PCOS trying to get pregnant since 2 months Checking ovulation kits and came to know that it was happening on D14 or D15 On which dates can I try for pregnancy Can I conceive?
D14 &D15 and D16 … in one of her videos she says the day you test positive and the day after I say all 3 to be safe mama sorry I know I’m not a doctor but I’m trying to help
If your insulin levels are too high all the time, FSH injections will probably fail. The fastest way to restore ovulation/fertility is to do the keto or carnivore diet for three months. In other words, if you eat less than 20 total grams of carbohydrates per day, your fertility will return in three weeks to three months. It's all about getting your insulin back down to normal levels and keeping it there long enough for your body to heal. I am happy to explain more, answer questions or address concerns. I've been eating this way for over a year now, so I'm happy to share recipes or meal plans if you're interested.

I had 10 cycles with letrzole after 9 cycle I lose hope and think of doing ivf so I start losing my weight lost 5 kg In a month and took the last cycle … and I got pregnant
I've been taking metformin for 6 months this along with a thyroid medicine. I'm still not pregnant. After we had a still born in 2017 I have not been able to conceive . So they put me on this medicine. Do you think I should try something else?
May I ask your height and weight please? I believe I might be able to help you. I just helped a 34year old woman have her first pregnancy. She has pcos.
I wish all the best to everyone with this condition and hope we all get our prayers answer soon🙏

My ovulation stopped after a D&C... what could have happened? Never had a missing period until that D&C. I have pcos, im really frustrated
Been on letrozole for 2 months and no ovulation positive test yet. Trying not to despair. 😢
Do you have a way for someone with pcos like me to ask you some personal questions or would I have to be your patient
What is the dosage of Letrozole

But how does one with PCOS know they’re not ovulating? Esp if we get regular periods
If you have regular periods you are ovulating- not everyone with PCOS has anovulation
I was wondering the same thing as well. I have regular cycles, but using OPKs to track ovulation never seemed to work.
