I Am Wondering On Average After Diet/health Changes, How Long Did It Take For Yall To Get Pregnant/have Labs Improve.

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question đź’­
Corbin, KY

I am 3.5 months into health eating and regular exercise. I've lost almost 20% of my body weight (35 lbs). I believe I am still not releasing eggs because my LH levels still never go above 1.5 or so during ovulation. Im trying to decide how long to wait before going back to redo labs and potentially ask for something medicated to stimulate my eggs to be released.

NOTE: I am not insulin resistant.

Hi Quinne, have you looked into diets specifically for fertility? It's not the same as a regular healthy eating diet. And also cycle-syncing.

Metformin

Edmonton, AB

So when I read that metformin causes gas/upset stomach/diarrhea they weren't kidding. It's been about a month now and I want to know...am I going to be plagued with diarrhea forever???? It doesn't seem worth it. I'm scared to eat because I don't know what's going to make my upset stomach and diarrhea even worse than it already is.

How Can I Be A Nurse Living With PCOS

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question đź’­
Riverview, MI

As a nursing student who has done clinical so far, I notice how it already takes a toll on my body. My family thinks I will be okay and get stronger by me eating healthy and working out. I understand what they are saying, but if I constantly go to the gym, my body feels exhausted, and I sleep almost all day if I can. Plus, I drink way too much coffee than the recommended amount, which I know does not help, but it's the only thing that keeps me awake. Unfortunately, it caused a cyst on my left… read more
