So I have been trying to lose weight recently and I have failed quite miserably. It turns out I have been eating the wrong foods.
I have done quite a bit of research and I found some quite helpful pages. I know I'm not alone in the food department so I thought I'd give you lovely ladies an insight to what to eat and what to avoid.
Foods to add:
1. High fiber vegetables (cauliflower, peppers, almonds, berries, sweet potato)
2. Lean protein (chicken, fish, tofu)
3. Anti-inflamatory foods… read more
Did you cut out all carbs? Or just replaced with gluten free options. Like rice, oats etc?
My hormones are balanced but I still deal with hirsutism on a daily basis. So much so that I shave (my face) every day, if not twice a day.
Website doesn’t work
Has anyone tried Ovasitol? It claims to be "a high quality, medical-grade supplement that combines both myo and d-chiro-inositol that mimic’s the body’s own ratio" and boasts it will " improve insulin sensitivity, restore hormone balance, improve ovulation and egg quality in women with PCOS."
I just ordered some and have yet to try it. Simply looking for feedback. Any reviews from your own personal experience with it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nicole
I find my symtoms are better with 1200mg of DCI (d-chiro-inositol) only
Theres a local company that makes 600mg capsules so I take 2. For me it's better than having to drink all that powder. Not TTC… read more
Do any of you ladies struggle with fatigue? I have it so bad! Im ALWAYS tired like if I ran a 7k and sleepy. Is there anything i could take to help?
Wow! I am so glad to see I am not losing my mind concerning the fatigue. I have paid much to find out why I'm so fatigued. Sleep is the best medicine so far. From what I'm reading, maybe we need a… read more
I struggle with my weight so badly. It's frustrating I eat small portions, exercise, and eat mostly non- processed food, I don't know what else to do I lost a bunch and then gained it all back and then some and I didn't do anything differently. I've also had 6 miscarriages. I'm so frustrated with my body and even with antidepressants I feel suicidal. People are so mean to me because of my weight and try as I might I just keep going up. I was on metformin and it made my depression and anxiety go… read more
Girl!! I feel your pain. When I got it in my 20's I gained over 100 pounds in like 2 or 3 months. I just blew up. About 2 years ago I had to go off of some very strong meds for other health problems… read more

Thank you so much for your answer. I’ll try it
So ive been taking Myo-inositol (Brand name: Myova) for about a month now. Is anyone else on this? Did it have any effect/help with PCOS? How long did it take to have an effect? And did you conceive whilst taking it? (:
Thank you!
I took 9g daily for about 6 months but i didn't notice any changes. No weight loss or periods like it is said to cause.
I know that its normal for hair to change over our lifetimes, but in just a few short years my hair transitioned from mostly straight to incredibly curly and unruly. I read a study that claimed testosterone can change the shape of the hair follicles. Anyone else go through this?
My hair changed when my doctor inserted an IUD, claiming it would help with everything. Fast forward six months my hair is unruly, and SO thin that it's causing major depression. Searching for ways to… read more
I'm pretty much always tired, but during my periods I feel exhausted to the point where I am late for work, cannot properly function, and am so lethargic. Does anyone else experience this? How do you deal with this?
Two years without my period, meds for ten days and she’s back. However, I have no energy and very nauseous.
