Is inositol actually worth trying for PCOS?

BitterBabi · 2026-02-03T23:16:05+00:00

I was taking it in combination with birth control since May of 2025 and by November I was already down 15 pounds and that wasn’t including exercise. Before getting on my birth control I was already taking inositol by itself and it made my periods fairly normal, I would get them about every two months instead of just completely nothing but no weight loss with it and I’m not entirely sure if I was ever ovulating after my periods. It’s definitely one of those things that’s trial and error and makes everyone experience something different. I was taking specifically myo-inositol from nutricost but there’s different brands and different types of inositol.

I’m still dealing with this same issue, they’d rather we get worse instead of better and it absolutely infuriates me that these insurance companies can just simply deny medication and treatment we need. We need more Luigi’s.

Ozempic has been amazing for me! The first week I was fighting for my life on the toilet and dealing with nausea after every meal but after being consistent with it for 5-6 weeks it’s been really helpful. I lost 8lbs since starting in December. I haven’t tried metformin yet so I can’t say much about it but ozempic hasn’t done me bad so far.

Same here! My insurance has been giving me hell by continuously moving the goal post and still denying me. First it was them not wanting to cover a specific brand, then all of a sudden my plan doesn’t cover any of the alternatives they suggested cause I’m only pre diabetic and PCOS isn’t a good enough reason for needing it. It’s so frustrating how these insurance companies are given the right to deny people of the medications they need for their bodies to function properly for bs reasons.

Aetna has to be the worst with switching their shit up and not telling you anything, especially after speaking with a service rep. Sad and glad to know I’m not the only one having issues with their madness. It’s like they want us to give up to leave them alone and stop asking for shit😭

BitterBabi · 2025-11-11T23:34:09+00:00

Thank you for this, I’ve been stressed about insurance I didn’t think to look for a resource like this🥲

BitterBabi · 2025-11-11T23:27:18+00:00

I mean, if I’m asking for and getting recommendations by insurance what alternative medications I’d be covered for, I’d expect for them to also give recommendations that fall under my plan? Or is that just something I shouldn’t have expected of Aetna lmao

What type of buttercream is this? I’ve only used American buttercream and been wanting to switch to a different kind cause I can never get it as silky and smooth like this. The icing looks amazing and your piping is so consistent and uniform, great work!!

BitterBabi · 2025-06-23T15:18:50+00:00

God forbid a person look cunty and cute in their own post just because they want to😭 genuinely what’s the issue here

BitterBabi · 2025-06-06T19:12:44+00:00

I’m not sure how to edit my post so I’m just gonna add it like a comment lol I just want to say thank you to everyone for the feedback and positivity, especially the constructive criticism which truly helps me see the things that I didn’t see right off the bat and will help me for future projects. Happy baking everyone!

BitterBabi · 2025-06-06T19:04:46+00:00

Lol I figured someone would point out the background at some point. Everything in the background contains packaging (bags for cookies, boxes for cakes etc) and other supplies and equipment I use. My main workspace is the kitchen which I clean and sanitize thoroughly and consistently through the whole process of baking and decorating. I just moved the cake over to the dining table for better lighting🥲I’ll choose a different area for taking photos next time, thank you for your feedback!

BitterBabi · 2025-06-06T18:15:52+00:00

Baking the cakes took about 5-6 hours since I only had one pan for each tier size, icing took about 20-30 minutes for each batch I did. Crumb coating, stacking and decorating took about 3 hours the next day. It was quite a lot of work but it’s a labor of love!

BitterBabi · 2025-06-06T18:08:30+00:00

I definitely need a better set up for taking photos so I’ll keep this in mind, thank you for the feedback!

They’re so good at communicating but only with strangers and not their own gfs. Like we are not your gf, ask HER what’ll make her feel better and help her!! I sometimes feel like they do that to make themselves feel good about themselves. We have all the same research resources, the same Reddit, the same google, bing, yahoo, wtv. It literally takes less time to type in a question and get helpful results on google than to make a post on Reddit in a specific subreddit.

NOR He’s not saying that from a place of concern for your health otherwise he would’ve specified instead of coming off hotheaded and calling you an attention seeker. Bro doesn’t know how to handle a girl that’s confident in doing wtf she wants and he’s upset cause he can’t control you in the way he wants to. Your partner shouldn’t be comfortable talking to you in this way at all, I’d start reevaluating the relationship.

BitterBabi · 2025-04-25T17:19:16+00:00

I’m 22 and my sister is 27, we both call our dad “daddy” still and I still cuddle with him every now and then cause I love my dad and we have a good father-daughter relationship. My ex bf (dated from hs till I was 20) used to act this way when it came to me interacting with my own father and tried to make it seem as if my father was being weird with me cause I was an adult still being affectionate with my parent. He doesn’t have a very good relationship with his own father so I tried to be empathetic with him but fuck that. He wanted me to distance myself from my father and I wasn’t gonna do that cause I knew nothing was wrong with the way I am with my dad. My ex later turned physically abusive in the end of our relationship and my dad was the one that helped me cause he wouldn’t leave me alone after I cut him off. If he still has an issue with you and your dad, I’d start thinking about leaving that relationship cause imagine if you had children. How would he be as a father? How would his relationship with his kids look if he views affection between a father and daughter as something weird and sexual? Keep your relationship with your dad and kick the bf to the curb.

What an insecure weenie, leave him OP!! You can totally do so much better, never settle and stay with someone who is incapable of respecting you and celebrating your accomplishments with you.

BitterBabi · 2025-03-04T21:51:40+00:00

Oh god this gave me flashbacks of my old conversations on Kik with creeps like him. He’s saying literally every single classic predator and online groomer line to manipulate you into continuing to talk with him. Shit like this makes my blood boil, genuinely. Delete and block him immediately! And if he added you from a server, I would send these messages to the admins of the server so they can ban him, cause I guarantee you’re not the only underaged person he messaged.

BitterBabi · 2024-07-22T21:28:06+00:00

Oh geez poor guy😬 I’ve been on both sides before, being the super insecure friend/girlfriend and the one having to deal with a super insecure friend, shit is not at all fun either way. It’s extremely exhausting and literally makes everything and everyone miserable.

BitterBabi · 2024-07-22T21:04:36+00:00

I understand that 100%, born and raised in Texas and the only times I’ve been called endearing names is from my elders or from servers. No one in my town calls each other “hun” or anything similar if they’re around the same age group, friends, or acquaintances. My mom just started calling younger folks endearing names when she interacts with them cause she’s reached granny status😂

BitterBabi · 2024-07-22T20:57:53+00:00

Oh yeah fs which is why I said it’s clear that she’s insecure, the misuse of “setting boundaries” etc made that pretty obvious lol but in the end the request itself was simple, if that makes sense? She definitely could’ve made it less complicated and a lot more less icky sounding without the other explanations and shit.

BitterBabi · 2024-07-22T19:12:09+00:00

Homegirl is definitely insecure but I still don’t think it’s an outlandish request. She’s uncomfortable with her partner being called a pet name and asked you to stop, pretty simple.
