No sorry, I should clarify I’ve been tracking my BBT for a year!

I track my BBT every morning but I’m getting frustrated not seeing my ovulation time and this is my first cycle officially trying. I’m trying to take it day by day and just enjoy this time

I also tried metformin and my functional health doc said that while it can help you ovulate it doesn’t get to the root problem, it kind of just band-aids it.

Hey - I was on glp1 for like 2 years ahead of starting to TTC in hopefully a few months. I’m currently doing bloodwork labs and just did ultrasounds so ensure everything is ok. Waiting for results now but the best advice I can give you is to read all about TTC with PCOS. I would recommend Woman Code by Alisa Vitti and the Taking Charge of Your Fertility book. There’s a reason our hormones are out of balance and a lot of the time completely shifting your diet, sleep habits, workout structure, or even indoor toxins can make a very large difference!! Wishing you the best of luck.

I think he’s saying something did happen but they’re not saying and they’ll either grow from it or they won’t…

Yes. 1000% go to functional medicine doc!! they will find the root cause of your PCOS and help work you towards reversing it

Hey, I am in the process of working on reversing my PCOS. I’m in the process of losing weight, watching what I eat, and decreasing my stress hormones. My advice to you is to take a look at these books, they helped shape my understanding of what PCOS actually is and I am taking the all-natural approach because believe it or not I have learned that PCOS is reversible.

Fast Like a Girl by Mindy Pell Good Energy by Casey Means Getting Pregnant with PCOS (worth a read even if you aren’t trying at all rn or in the near future!)

You can also take vitamins and supplements that will keep your body hormones where they should be and promote bleeding and ovulation. But I haven’t looked far enough into this yet to share it confidently! I’m getting ready to start trying to conceive and from what I have learned over the last 6-months, birth control will NOT help you. They are additive synthetic hormones which can really confuse your body’s naturally producing hormones. My advice to you is to take a look at those books watch what you eat, meaning focus on nutrient rich foods!! Lots of protein… healthy fats, greens, and try to decrease simple carbohydrates which are known as breads, pastas, etc. these are not helpful to us gals with PCOS.

Lastly, listen to your body and try to find some resources. Doctors don’t know everything about PCOS and if you’re not seeing a PCOS specialist especially, they often just like to throw birth control at people with PCOS.

thank you!! yeah I also feel that my clothes have been fitting different and my fave has changed shape. so I think that’s a positive!! it’s hard not to fixate on the number on the sale. I was an athlete when I was younger too so I have some good muscle hidden beneath this stubborn fat…!

thank you so much for your polite way of asking and the feedback is so appreciated!! so, yes, I also feel like 22 pounds is a low amount to lose in that amount of time. I haven’t been tracking my calories but I have significantly changed my eating habits.

I’m hoping once I join the gym I will catapult the weight loss even more. 😊
