I took these for 3 months for irregular periods the last 3 years. I ended up pregnant.... but I think I'm now miscarrying....but the fact that I got a positive pregnancy test is beyond my imagination.
This was a really insightful video. As someone with pcos, I always dread of the future when I might want to get pregnant. But this video gave me alot of hope and positive vibes. Thank you.
Can you speak to the 40:1 myo vs Ovasitol? Seems like more people in the PCOS community prefer ovasitol. But Is there a true difference? Also if a doctor has confirmed through labs and ultrasound that you are ovulating on your own without medication and all labs are within range,what would be next steps then?
I thought I became insulin resistant after I gained 10-15 pounds after my miscarriage in December 2020. After seeing my primary care doctor, she confirmed I was insulin resistant and I started taking Metformin recently. Thank you for taking your time to make this video for us.
Some people have underlying insulin resistance or diabetes that is brought out after pregnancy! We think there’s a little genetics involved. I had gestational diabetes so sure I’m a little insulin resistant too!
Hello Metformin worked for me but was a bit long. Got pregnant after one year. I took 1000mg every night even through I’m not overweight, having period every month but had a lot of follicles in my ovaries and diagnosed with pre diabetes….
I’m glad you were able to get pregnant! Sorry it took longer. Some people have a genetic disposition to be insulin resistant as compared to others. Like myself - I had gestational diabetes and high cholesterol with normal body weight 🥴
I have PCOS and for the last 8 years I will get a period every two years or so that wind me up in the hospital with blood transfusions. Last time I almost lost my life. It took me 6 months to recover. Now its been another 3 years and I just started bleeding again today. Im beyond worries.
I’m going to be 57 next month and my joints aren’t what they used to be. Losing weight gets harder and harder the older you get and pcos isn’t helping. I’m a nurse and work 3rd shift. Lots of stress on top of all this. You said weight training is probably better. How much weight would you recommend and how many times a week. Please let me know. TY
Hi gorg, do you take inositol everyday? I’m not sure if it should be a part of everyday routine or when should I stop taking this? Currently I really want to regulate my menstrual cycle
@@alikavalnoorani7973 as a matter of fact I take 2000 mg 2xs a day. My period was missing since October and it’s currently on now after take it for 3wks. Didn’t help my glucose but definitely my hormones!
@@alikavalnoorani7973 yes! Without it my body crumbles… been off it a year and a half… got a bbl and tummy tuck and my period stopped and a1c shot up to a 6.4 I have to…
I started PCOS symptoms in college at the age of 20, so did my two sisters, niece and now my 20 year old daughter. We all started with symptoms around age 19-20. My sisters and I needed IVF to conceive. Question, can Letrozole be used to help induce a period/ ovulation cycle and not for pregnancy purposes?
Yes, many people see endocrinology. But just like how an endocrinologist manages patients with diabetes, not every diabetic has to see an endocrinologist. Depends on complexity and severity.
What if we wanted to use MI but I am not interested in preparing for a pregnancy? I know i tried it and it gave me a boost in energy, I got a lot more done, I dressed up...metformin, spironolactone, and BC was what I have been using and MI felt like rocket fuel. I was wondering if there was some way to counteract the Period Kickstarting effects of MI and get the other results?
Me too i have same question im taking metformin but people say that mayo insitol is better and wondering can i use them both 🤨 but both have same effect 🙂
@@alaaali3237 ive used myoinositol and got my period after 2 weeks and my weight started to go down better with workouts. I am on low carb diet aswell.

Thank you for this video! Is it better to see an endocrinologist or OBGYN for PCOS? My former obgyn didn't seem to know how to treat it.

@@drjennale Since you mentioned genetics.. I completely forgot that my mother is
pre-diabetic. She was diagnosed 3 years ago.
Well the we go! We can always blame our parents for a big part of our struggles 😅
@@drjennale 😂 thank you 🙏🏽 I hope you have a great day
You too!

Can you do a video about anovulation in general. Why it happens and what can be done?
Wow very informative! Thank you so much!!!!
Thanks for watching!

What dose of Metformin for ovulation?
This is very useful! Thank you!! I hope I’m finally ready to talk to about it.
❤️❤️❤️ we never want you to feel alone.

What if you are UNDERweight with PCOS with my LH levels constantly elevated. Is this normal?
How do you feel about DHEA supplements?
I'm breastfeeding and also take probiotics, iron, calcium, vit c and fish oil.
How do I incorporate inositol in my supplement routine please
I find glutathione very effective for my monthly period. What do you think?
Inositol works lovely. Second time adding it to my daily routine.
Hi gorg, do you take inositol everyday? I’m not sure if it should be a part of everyday routine or when should I stop taking this? Currently I really want to regulate my menstrual cycle

@@GoddessOfSwordsTarot oh great, thanks for getting back to me. So do you plan to continue taking inositol consistently for a few months after?
@@alikavalnoorani7973 yes! Without it my body crumbles… been off it a year and a half… got a bbl and tummy tuck and my period stopped and a1c shot up to a 6.4 I have to…
@@GoddessOfSwordsTarot glad it works for you. Are you using wholesome inositol or some other brand?
I have PCOS but im not overweight. So im really not needing to lose weight. But i still cant seem to combat my PCOS
I started PCOS symptoms in college at the age of 20, so did my two sisters, niece and now my 20 year old daughter. We all started with symptoms around age 19-20. My sisters and I needed IVF to conceive.
Question, can Letrozole be used to help induce a period/ ovulation cycle and not for pregnancy purposes?
What about vitex?
If PCOS is at it's core an insulin resistance and hormone dysregulation, should an endocrinologist be involved in management?
Yes, many people see endocrinology. But just like how an endocrinologist manages patients with diabetes, not every diabetic has to see an endocrinologist. Depends on complexity and severity.
Can I take the Myo-Inositol & D-Chiro Inositol Ble 40:1 vitamin even while breastfeeding?
What if we wanted to use MI but I am not interested in preparing for a pregnancy?

What about Fertipilplus?
I have only one cyst on each of my ovaries do I have PCOS?
Hi would you recommend taking metformin with myoinositol + dchiroinositol together? Bcs both might have same effect for insulin resistance.
Me too i have same question im taking metformin but people say that mayo insitol is better and wondering can i use them both 🤨 but both have same effect 🙂
