I took birth control to combat the symptoms but while it helped it is not a viable long term solution so I started taking about 1000mg/day of myo inositol at the same time. A few weeks ago I went off BC and upped my dose to 3000mg to induce ovulation and would you look at that, for the first time in my life I have a regular cycle (without the bc, which isn't actual ovulation anyway). But I want to note that I also take folic acid and have changed my diet in the past year aswell as doing some regular workouts and yoga, and have lost about 5kg. I have always been in the 'normal' bmi range and I'm not insulin resistant, so I guess it's not a particularly heavy case of pcos, but I am very greatful for stumbling upon myo inositol, it has definetly curbed my sugar cravings/normalised my insulin and other hormonal levels.lisa e.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57644621261583551.post-24580609692041805342013-06-03T04:39:19.875+05:302013-06-03T04:39:19.875+05:30I have to thank you for sharing your experiences w...I have to thank you for sharing your experiences with myo-inositol. I recently ordered it for stress caused by trying to conceive. My cycles were perfect and predictable before we started trying, and suddenly my worries went wild and my old friend panic disorder tried to make an entrance after being gone for fifteen years! Please keep us posted on your findings- ever so grateful for your posts :)SophiePennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57644621261583551.post-10028473055584357892013-05-21T12:27:14.771+05:302013-05-21T12:27:14.771+05:30Hi,

Perfectly consistent. This is the first time I didn't get my period until day 29.<br />I don't know which Vitamin has done it but thought I'd mention this in case anyone else is finding the same thing,Sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57644621261583551.post-9131029943105040802013-05-08T13:02:16.690+05:302013-05-08T13:02:16.690+05:30Dear Jay,

Bet she never bothered getting educated on any of those individual supplements before telling you that you did not need them. <br /><br />But anyway, most of the CCRM regimen is aimed towards improving egg quality, so may not make as much of difference in a FET, with the exception of myo-inositol (as it appears to boost progesterone levels) and vitamin D. After becoming pregnant, vitamin D and folic acid become a lot more important.<br /><br />Best of luck with the FET :)Jayhttp://aboutplanb.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57644621261583551.post-55802205891378920972013-05-05T23:07:52.223+05:302013-05-05T23:07:52.223+05:30mg.

She said that what's best for me is to stay on metformin, baby asprin, and my prenatal. I'm about 12 weeks out from my next FET (waiting until August). I've read a lot of about "clean eating" for women with PCOS and I'm currently following the Paleo diet. In 13 weeks I've lost 26 pounds!Annnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57644621261583551.post-14323675050346632332013-04-28T19:19:17.422+05:302013-04-28T19:19:17.422+05:30I have PCOS, and if I ovulated at all, it was some...I have PCOS, and if I ovulated at all, it was somewhere between CD19-30 (based on 2 yrs TTC with my first child). Our BFP cycle 2 yrs ago was an O on CD19 - and I had taken 5 days of 100mg clomid and 7 days of 75iu Menopur. If I hadn't ovulated by CD30, they always turned into anovulatory cycles. <br /><br />I just had my first cycle post partum, and I took 4g myo-inositol through CD30 (which I started taking fairly regularly 2 months before that in hopes of getting my period back). At that point, we went on vacation and there was no O in sight, and I just quit taking it b/c I didn't feel like taking my meds with. I O'd on CD37 (huge anomaly for me, if you can call it that since my cycles are incredibly erratic), and on CD43 I started taking 3g myo-inositol again (different dosage b/c I had capsules this time instead of powder, and they were 750mg capsules). <br /><br />This is really interesting info about the low progesterone, because that is part of my issue (borderline short LPs of 10-11 days, and even while pregnant, I was on supps through 11+ weeks because my P4 level wasn't rising appropriately), so it is encouraging to me that the myo-inositol could maybe help with that as well!Josey Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57644621261583551.post-79442629674058748802013-04-28T18:09:15.953+05:302013-04-28T18:09:15.953+05:30I took Pregnitude (myo-inositol and folic acid) du...I took Pregnitude (myo-inositol and folic acid) during my last IVF cycle upon the recommendation of my doctor. There were other supplements as well. Those little embryos (numbers 18 and 19 for me) were the ones that finally implanted and have continued to fo well I have no idea what made this different from my other cycles, but taking myo-inositol was one of the changes.
