Update: 1st follicular ultrasound with bloodwork. *CD 7 - Clomid taken without menstrual cycle •We have 1 follicle on the left side measured at 14 mm •We have 5-10 follicles on right side measured <11mm •Lining was at a 4.2 😕 Overall I am just thankful that it’s on my left side 🙏🏼 -As there may be a blockage on my right tube that hasn’t been 100% confirmed..(And yes i know F. tubes move around) but i didn’t want to have to take that chance. We have another scan in 2 days - praying that this follicle grows and lining improves 🫶🏼 (dr.

Days 3 & 4 update! CD 3 & CD 4 Energy is still very present! But the weather has been super depressing the past 2 days, that all I would love to do is take a nap! But my body wont let me 😅🙃 I forgot to mention that I was constipated for days 1 & 2. Though, the reason i forgot to mention it is because I didn’t even realize that was the case because my stomach wasn’t hurting at all. TMI… Day 3 - I woke up and ran to the bathroom (literally felt like I lost 5 pounds). Other than that happening yesterday (morning only). I again have no other symptoms besides the minor cramping that comes and goes. I really hope its working - but the fact that my symptoms are so light and not like most women.. I’m becoming a little scared 🥺 TODAY IS MY LAST DAY OF CLOMID! And Tuesday is my appt to see how it’s going. Hoping for the best 🤞🏼🙏🏼🫶🏼 #clomid100mg #metforminpcos #ttc #ttccommunity #iui #iuijourney #iuibaby #pcos #pcossupport #pcosawareness #pcospregnancy #infertility #infertilitytribe #pcosjourney #pcossymptomrelief #pcosdiet #PCOSinsulin #PCOSnutrition #pcoshealthcare #pcosperiods #pcoscare #pcoslifestyle #pcosdiet #pcospositivity #pcoswarrior
Days 1&2 update! CD1 & CD2 So if you have been following along from the start. You know that I have been on metformin for about 4 months now. Prior to starting clomid; I was feeling super lethargic - I really just didn’t want to do much. I am not even someone who enjoys being outside in the heat (even though I’m a summer baby 😅). BUT… After starting clomid (like literally an hour later) the energy just rushed over me…. Like severe ENERGY. Now I do not know if anyone else has felt this or if it’s the reaction between clomid and metformin. I feel like a totally different human being! Day 1: Clomid was taken around 430pm - by 5:30pm my husband looked at me like “who even are you” 😂 I just couldn’t stop talking or doing things around the house! Day 2: I woke up @630am for no reason and I was none stop till 11pm! I helped out in the garden (i hate gardening). I played with my pup for like 2 hours outside (in the heat & I loved it!), I did groceries and cleaned my kitchen all before 1pm - like seriously WHO AM I?! cooked dinner for my family, cleaned and chilled with my hubby for a few hours feeling ZERO sense of sleepiness… Like I said idk if it’s the mix of clomid and metformin. But I feel AMAZING! No symptoms beside minor cramping but its something that I can ignore… My advice: stay hydrated and continue to eat healthy. Roll with whatever symptoms you get, feel it out and write it down. YOU GOT THIS! 💪🏼🫶🏼 #clomid100mg #metforminpcos #ttc #ttccommunity #iui #iuijourney #iuibaby #pcos #pcossupport #pcosawareness #pcospregnancy #infertility #infertilitytribe #pcosjourney #pcossymptomrelief #pcosdiet #PCOSinsulin #PCOSnutrition #pcoshealthcare #pcosperiods #pcoscare #pcoslifestyle #pcosdiet #pcospositivity #pcoswarrior

The time is here! Im so excited, yet super nervous for this next step. Just waiting on my cycle to start and we will finally take our first steps into making our dreams come true 🤍 - My dr is recommending clomid or gonadotropin injection. He stated he feels that letrozole is weak compared to. Anyone else told the same? • Did anyone go through IUI with one tube and it be successful? •How many rounds did it take you to get pregnant? I want hear everyone’s experience! #ttc #ttccommunity #iui #iuijourney #iuibaby #pcos #pcossupport #pcosawareness #pcospregnancy #infertility #infertilitytribe hormonenutrition #pcosjourney #pcossymptomrelief #pcosdiet #PCOSinsulin #PCOSnutrition #pcoshealthcare #pcosperiods #pcoscare #pcoslifestyle #pcosdiet #pcospositivity #pcoswarrior
SAVE THIS‼️Berberine vs. Metformin for PCOS ⠀ ⠀⠀ While berberine may be new to the (PCOS community, nothing is new about the numerous benefits of this potent supplement. ⠀ ⠀ Used for thousands of years in China as a treatment for diabetes and infertility, berberine is an herb that is showing great promise for treating -and preventing- many of the difficult and frustrating symptoms and complications associated with PCOS. ⠀ ⠀ Berberine is a potent insulin sensitizer that rivals that of metformin. ⠀ ⠀ The effects of berberine have been compared to metformin in women with PCOS. In their study, Wei and colleagues randomly selected 89 women with PCOS to receive either berberine (500 mg, 3x daily), metformin (500mg, 3x daily), or a placebo for 3 months. ⠀ ⠀ All women were instructed by a nutritionist to reduce carbohydrate and fat intake. No calorie range was provided. Women were also instructed to exercise 30 minutes each day of moderate to intense exercise.⠀ ⠀ After 3 months of treatment, women who took berberine saw greater reductions in body fat loss than metformin or placebo. Berberine lowered insulin and glucose levels similarly to metformin. Women with PCOS who took berberine saw significant reductions in total cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol levels), and triglycerides and a significant improvement in HDL (good cholesterol levels), more than metformin.⠀ Berberine lowered total testosterone levels similar to that of metformin.⠀Berberine users reported much less side effects (mild GI discomfort) than metformin.⠀ ⠀ Another benefit of berberine: it can help with gut health 🙌⠀ ⠀ 🌟Don’t waste money on the wrong PCOS supplements. We have 3rd party tested Berberine Plus with Alpha Lipoic Acid in the PCOS Nutrition Center supplement store:. http://PCOSnutrition.com/store or see link in bio ⠀⠀ Have questions? ⠀⠀ ⠀ References: ⠀ PMID: 23866924 PMID: 35251851 #pcossupplement #pcosberberine #metforminalternatives #metforminpcos #metforminproblems #pcoscholesterol #pcosinsulinresistance #pcosinsulin #berberinebenefits

Carbs are “bad” 🤦🏽♀️ In the PCOS world carbs are often demonized and they shouldn’t be. They are essential for the energy, fiber, and support many bodily functions. But like anything else, an excessive amount or poor quality can have negative impacts on the body. If you have PCOS, you DON’T have to give up carbs. You just have to find the amount that your body feels best at, properly adjust your intake of other nutrients, and focus on improving the quality of your foods. Want to lose weight but don’t want to give up carbs? DM me “Root Cause” and I’ll tell you how my root cause reset method can help you do just that! #pcosweightloss #pcoshelp #pcosinsulin #insulinresistance #pcoscravings

10 days of Provera DONE ✔️ Symptoms: excessive peeing, cramps, cravings, mood swings… Ok so a little background - I have pcos as you already know. I do not get my period every month. And before this dose of provera it has been 3 months since my last cycle. I believe that I also don’t ovulate every time I do happen to get my period. Which is not uncommon with pcos. SOO.. Not even 3 days in on Provera and metformin, your girl started ovulating! This was because of metformin. Honestly, I am just glad its working. They say within 3-12 days after provera you should except your period to begin. I can already feel it coming 🙌🏼🙏🏼. 10 days into Metformin Symptoms didn’t start till yesterday.. mild 💩(common symp). I had severe cramping and bloating through the ovulation process, I was absolutely miserable! Didn’t think the metformin would help me lose weight and was only focusing on just helping me regulate. NOPE! After the symptoms 💩💩 started yesterday, I managed to jump start my 5 pound weight loss in 10 days!! I haven’t been able to lose weight for the life of me in like a YEAR!! I started to cry (tears of joy!) because I was so proud of my body for actually accepting the help it needed🩷 Moral of this experience is what works for others, may not work for you.. but make sure to take the time to find what works best for you. Your body will love you for it!🩷 DON’T GIVE UP! I’m cheering for you all day, everyday! #pcos #pcosawareness #pcossupport #pcosweightloss #pcosfood #pcosfighter #pcoslife #pcosinfertility #pcoseducation #pcoshairloss #pcossupplements #PCOSsisters #pcosstrong #pcosweightloss #hormonenutrition #pcosjourney #pcossymptomrelief #pcosdiet #PCOStestosterone #PCOSinsulin #PCOSnutrition #pcoshealthcare #pcosperiods #pcoscare #pcoslifestyle #pcosdiet #pcospositivity #pcoswarrior #pcosmanagement #pcosfitness #pcostips #pcosweightlossmotivation
FIRST - I really want to take the time and thank everyone who has reached out and shared their story and recipes with me during this diet! I love and appreciate all your support. These group of women are absolutely amazing, REMEMBER! YOU ARE NEVER ALONE 🩷🩷 Week 2 update: The struggle is gone and now I feel like I continue this after it’s over! Did I really just say that?! 🫣 yes, YES I DID! like I said I have learned to so much about my body this past week. For the most part I noticed that I don’t really eat any different regularly, so this wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.. not that I didn’t eat gluten, dairy, eggs ect. before but I guess just not as much as I thought. (With the exception of dairy..) I have used egg substitute which is ok for now but don’t think I will continue to let go of that. As I do enjoy egg whites for breakfast (knowing it doesn’t cause any bloating). Dairy on the other hand.. as much as I am a cream cheese/cheese lover I will admit that foods I use to add dairy to no longer make me feel like crap! I can enjoy the meal without it! and here I was thinking it’s the coffee this whole time! ( it still might be that too 🤫). Happy to say gluten isn’t my biggest concern if it is an issue, I’m actually enjoying gluten free bread and oatmeal. Btw: Vegan cheese and dairy free yogurt I can do without 🤢 No more bloating, heartburn or feeling super lethargic after I eat 🤯 1 week can make a huge difference in gut health, so give it a try. You will be so surprised how much better you will feel! After all my whining and temper tantrums I feel like a new person and couldn’t be happier with the progress I have made 😍 #pcos #pcosawareness #pcossupport #pcosweightloss #pcosfood #pcosfighter #pcoslife #pcosinfertility #pcoseducation #pcoshairloss #pcossupplements #PCOSsisters #pcosstrong #pcosweightloss #hormonenutrition #pcosjourney #pcossymptomrelief #pcosdiet #PCOSinsulin #PCOSnutrition #pcoshealthcare #pcosperiods #pcoscare #pcoslifestyle #pcosdiet #pcospositivity #pcoswarrior #pcosmanagement #pcosfitness #pcostips #pcosweightlossmotivation #pcosfacts
Provera is a nightmare of a drug. I know this feeling will only last a few day at most but I feel at my lowest mentally. I feel scared, mad and all of the above at the same time. Thankfully my husband comes home soon and will help me get through this. If anyone is going through this you’re not alone! Asl someone if you can just talk to them and vent. If you don’t have anyone, I am here for you 🩷 please feel free to reach out. This is not a time when someone should be alone.. this drug is strong and a little crazy. I’ll be honest, I was not expecting it to be this bad… #provera #10days #pcos #pcosawareness #pcossupport #pcosweightloss #pcosfood #pcosfighter #pcoslife #pcosinfertility #pcoseducation #pcoshairloss #pcossupplements #PCOSsisters #pcosstrong #pcosweightloss #hormonenutrition #pcosjourney #pcossymptomrelief #pcosdiet #PCOStestosterone #PCOSinsulin #PCOSnutrition #pcoshealthcare #pcosperiods #pcoscare #pcoslifestyle #pcosdiet #pcospositivity #pcoswarrior #pcosmanagement #pcosfitness

Were you just diagnosed with PCOS and want more info? Or may be wondering if you have PCOS? No worries! I got you 😉 Polycystic ovary syndrome is a problem with hormones that happens during the reproductive years. If you have PCOS, you may be experiencing irregular periods OR you may have periods that last more than it should. You may also have too much of a hormone called androgen in your body.. (I will break that down, below) Symptoms: •Irregular periods - Having few menstrual periods or having periods that aren’t regular are common signs of PCOS. So is having periods that last for many days or longer than is typical for a period. This may cause infertility. •Androgen - High levels of the hormone androgen may result in excess facial and body hair. This is called hirsutism. Severe acne and male-pattern baldness may also occur •Polycystic ovaries - Your ovaries might be bigger. Many follicles containing immature eggs may develop around the edge of the ovary. The ovaries might not work the way they should. So that all being said, PCOS signs and symptoms typically more severe in people dealing with obesity. SO like I have stated prior, while PCOS has no cure, you may be able to reverse these symptoms! AND while the weight gain may be the fault of PCOS, we can still figure out the best ways to lose the weight. Whether it being changing our diet, exercising more, maybe even medication. Talk to your doctor and find the best way that works for you! PLEASE don’t just assume what works for others, will work for you… Have any questions or want to share your story with me and others? We are all here to support YOU! So drop a comment below or message me privately 🩷 You are not in this alone 😘 Always, PJ x #pcos #pcosawareness #pcossupport #pcosweightloss #pcosfood #pcosfighter #pcoslife #pcosinfertility #pcoseducation #pcoshairloss #pcossupplements #PCOSsisters #pcosstrong #pcosweightloss #hormonenutrition #pcosjourney #pcossymptomrelief #pcosdiet #PCOStestosterone #PCOSinsulin #PCOSnutrition #pcoswarrior #pcosmanagement #pcosfitness #pcostips #pcosweightlossmotivation #pcosfacts
Sleep and PCOS: Did you know? Women with PCOS are twice as likely to experience sleep disturbances. The journey to better nights rest starts with awareness.
Did you know that more than half of women with PCOS develop type 2 diabetes by age 40??? 🫣 •Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) often coexists with a wide spectrum of dysglycemic conditions, ranging from impaired glucose tolerance to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), which occur to a greater extent compared to healthy body mass index-matched women BUT….this may actually be reversible!!! phew! •While we all know, type 2 diabetes is a serious, long-term medical condition which develops mostly in adults (but is becoming more common in children. Several factors contribute to type 2 diabetes). Being overweight or having obesity is the biggest risk factor. This condition can be life-threatening, but if treated carefully, it can be managed or even reversed. Monitoring the blood sugar levels and using medication/insulin, when needed, can help diabetes to reverse. Losing weight through diet and exercise can also help reverse diabetes! •While weight gain for some is uncontrollable with PCOS, it’s always best to speak with your Primary, Endocrinologist and or Gynocologist to help manage your weight. #pcostip: Limit Added Sugar! •Most women with PCOS crave sugary foods, even after eating meals! This is due to increases in insulin. •To best manage insulin levels and cut down the amount of sugar in your diet: Opt for fruit instead of sugary foods during sugar cravings #pcos #pcosawareness #pcossupport #pcosweightloss #pcosfood #pcosfighter #pcoslife #pcosinfertility #pcoseducation #pcoshairloss #pcossupplements #PCOSsisters #pcosstrong #pcosweightloss #pcosjourney #pcossymptomrelief #pcosdiet #PCOSinsulin #PCOSnutrition #pcoshealthcare #pcosperiods #pcoscare #pcoslifestyle #pcosdiet #pcospositivity #pcoswarrior #pcosmanagement #pcosfitness #pcosweightlossmotivation #pcosfacts

SAVE THIS‼️Berberine vs. Metformin for PCOS ⠀ ⠀⠀ While berberine may be new to the (PCOS community, nothing is new about the numerous benefits of this potent supplement. ⠀ ⠀ Used for thousands of years in China as a treatment for diabetes and infertility, berberine is an herb that is showing great promise for treating -and preventing- many of the difficult and frustrating symptoms and complications associated with PCOS. ⠀ ⠀ Berberine is a potent insulin sensitizer that rivals that of metformin. ⠀ ⠀ The effects of berberine have been compared to metformin in women with PCOS. In their study, Wei and colleagues randomly selected 89 women with PCOS to receive either berberine (500 mg, 3x daily), metformin (500mg, 3x daily), or a placebo for 3 months. ⠀ ⠀ All women were instructed by a nutritionist to reduce carbohydrate and fat intake. No calorie range was provided. Women were also instructed to exercise 30 minutes each day of moderate to intense exercise.⠀ ⠀ After 3 months of treatment, women who took berberine saw greater reductions in body fat loss than metformin or placebo. Berberine lowered insulin and glucose levels similarly to metformin. Women with PCOS who took berberine saw significant reductions in total cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol levels), and triglycerides and a significant improvement in HDL (good cholesterol levels), more than metformin.⠀ Berberine lowered total testosterone levels similar to that of metformin.⠀ Berberine users reported much less side effects (mild GI discomfort) than metformin.⠀ ⠀ Another benefit of berberine: it can help with gut health 🙌⠀ ⠀ 🌟Don't waste money on the wrong PCOS supplements.
