I loss weight even though I wasn’t over weight. I didnt feel like I was craving for junk food. I did notice extra ‘discharge’. Just so anyone knows I only had 2-3 periods a year. During reproductive years, many women with PCOS are focused on fertility and having a family, or they might be interested in managing the various symptoms. However, as one gets older and you move into the menopause, an increased tendency to put on weight together with insulin resistance can lead to more serious issues. There is an increased risk for PCOS women of developing the Metabolic Syndrome (Met S). This is a combination of key factors that can put a woman at risk of cardiovascular disease in later life. What is metabolic syndrome? The recommended dosage of myo-inositol is 4,000 mg/day, taken in two doses. Each sachet of Inofolic Alpha contains 2,000 mg myo-inositol. It also contains 50 mg alpha-lactalbumin (whey milk protein) and 200 mcg folic acid. It’s recommended to take two convenient sachets per day. Then you’ll know you’ve taken enough myo-inositol to benefit from it, with the alpha-lactalbumin to help your body to absorb it. Does myo-inositol for PCOS make you gain weight?

I can imagine with the last couple of years, that a visit like yours was well needed and I’m glad to hear you’ve enjoyed it! Hope your NYE’s is as promising whether you rest or throw together another do with family! 😊 Whilst a healthy diet should provide you with all the vitamins and minerals you need, many people choose to supplement their diet to help improve their fertility.I used to have the Flo app but I’ve moved onto the Glow and BB Femometer app now (I also use the Femometer OPKs and HCG tests but not exclusively, I have learned to used reasonably priced tests and move onto the pricier stuff for further confirmation). I highly recommend Glow for the community and it links to the Nurture app when you finally fall pregnant which again has a great community and insight on each day of your pregnancy! It also handled my loss brilliantly in terms of updating the app (hopefully something you will never need) but I found that they really had the user in mind and ready with support networks in their in-app community groups. I think Flo has had a lot of updates as well and may offer something similar now but I’ve not navigated the app as much since I’ve moved to the other two apps but it would be worth looking into this if you’re interesting in connecting with others with similar TTC cycles / fertility journeys!

Dosing is easy and the product has almost no taste. I hope this product does not lose effectiveness over time, but the ingredients is much better quality than most other brands which may help maintain effectiveness. It’s expensive but it works for me. The crossover in symptoms means that there are a number of steps you can take that will help make PCOS, the menopause and the perimenopause in particular, more manageable: Achieving good quality sleep My doctor has been great and has told me to go straight in as soon as we’re ready to start and she’ll refer me straight to assisted conception, but I’m guessing there might be a fairly long waiting list so want to do what I can in the meantime! Inofolic has recently changed to Inofolic Alpha. Inofolic Alpha’s unique formulation is an effective treatment for PCOS, helping to control your PCOS symptoms such as weight loss, reducing acne and treating unwanted hair growth, as well as helping to restore ovulation and improve egg quality.Inositol acts as a go-between for hormones like insulin. In this way, it can help the cells become better at responding to insulin, which means that your blood sugar balance is improved and your body secretes less insulin. Reduces androgen levels

As well as the Inositol, and other various supplements, I took Soy Isoflavones on CD3-8. The theory is that they act in a similar way to Clomid - kind of like nature’s Clomid, to Inositol serving as nature’s Metformin. I was staggered when I ovulated on CD20!Ive definitely gone mad - it's highly, highly unlikely that I would have ovulated that early (especially because I have long cycles!) but who knows, I've been bleeding/spotting for three weeks and it's all a bit incomprehensible so I think obsessing and symptom spotting is maybe just my way of distracting myself from grieving.
