Has Anyone Used Myo-inositol Throughout Their Pregnancy?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

My husband and I got pregnant in less than 3 weeks of trying (it’s important to note that I eat a Mediterranean diet; I workout 5x a week; and I supplement with a pre-natal, wild Alaskan salmon oil, probiotics, maca, and magnesium). I stopped taking all supplements except the pre-natal once I found out I was pregnant, as I was advised to do so by my OB/GYN.

I'm Having 2 Periods A Month, This Month It Still Hasn't Stopped. Help!

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

It started 4 months ago, it was my normal 5 day period with all my normal mood swings, cramps, etc; then 10 days later, I start spotting. It's typically old blood (brown, stringy clots, rarely heavier than needing a size 1 pad or panty liner). This happened for 3 months. This month I had my period like normal but I haven't stopped bleeding. No break in between. It's no longer period blood but the old stuff. I'm on day 17 straight of bleeding.

My best friend in school had 2 also, she found out she had endometriosis. I’d have doctors check you for that, as endometriosis and PCOS are closely related.
