Dr. Lora, your videos are literally the best! I just found out in February that I have PCOS. I'm 42 and have been a type 1 diabetic since I was 6 and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at the age of 13. I have been trying to conceive for YEARS with no luck despite having regular periods and I'm sure I've had PCOS all these years without even knowing it. What brought me to see a reproductive endo in December, was because I've quickly lost almost all of my hair and have gained a good bit of tummy. After lots of labs and ultrasounds, she found PCOS, very low vitamin D, excessive testosterone, a suppressed thyroid (my endo had me on too high of a dosage) and, a good bit of insulin resistance even though my AiC is at 6.1 and my diabetes is managed. She said my case is complicated because I don't show many PCOS symptoms but I also have underlying health factors that can lead to PCOS. I have been so lost with all of this. I'm now taking all the supplements and Ovasitol, working out every day, lowering the carb intake, etc. with hopes that these symptoms will improve soon and that I still have a chance at pregnancy. This is a rough patch in life and I wish I could've caught these issues earlier. I am so thankful for videos like yours that truly break things down and give us all hope! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this info with us!

Thank you so much for this! My doctor told me that although I have PCOS, it shouldn’t be too hard for me to get pregnant because I am ovulating regularly. Which was really confusing for me to hear. But you clarified a lot of that

[iremukr]

First time on your channel, I just love how you present the information. Thank you!

[samiakassar]

I can't thank you enough for these videos, very informative and helpful, my doctor gave me metformin i finished it and my doctor just told me I should take it forverver told me to loose weight then go back so I'm here I STILL don, 't know i did lot of check ups she said everything is fine apart from my weight and she had suspicion of fatty kidney so the solution is to lose weight Im addicted to sugar, 4 years of marriage i, m 31 I'll loose weight this year .

Can you make a video on home fertility monitoring devices? Mira, kegg, inito..

[sophieclair]

I wanted to comment I was on metformin for insulin resistance/pcos. I could not tolerate it due to the extreme digestive upset. However, inositol supplements, although still cause digestive issues, I've been able to tolerate way better. It did regulate I was able to get pregnant but MC at 6 weeks. I'm hopeful that I can have better success by combining it with IVF.

Thank you so much for making this video! Your tips are incredibly helpful, especially the one, “Make sure you have the right diagnosis.” I appreciate how clear and informative your video is, and how you explained everything in a way that your viewers can understand. 💛

[okay.-.]

What about those who have PCOS but have regular cycles?

[loryperos]

I have been looking for this video, helpful.

[AmandaJ]

Thank you for your videos. Can you do a video on subchorionic hematomas? I’m 6 weeks pregnant and have a small one (1cm) one nurse said no restrictions and another said no intercourse or exercise. So now I’m just unsure of restrictions until this hopefully resolved on it’s own. I would love to hear your thoughts on this. I’m hoping it doesn’t get worse and cause a issue. This is my second pregnancy. MMC at 13 weeks in January. No living children. ❤

i don't get periods regularly though and i've had a blood overflow continuously for months with serious clots before

[DenkaLee]

all the doc that in governments hospital i receive the treatments doesn't even know about Inositol. They even scold me for consume the Inositol. I told them that my period getting regular, no hair fall, no acne, etc but they don't believe me. They said Inositol might cause for my irregular period. they ask to stop. Later I did not have my period again after stop inositol. so frustrated.

[Mary-AnneNsiah-Peprah]

i'm not fat, i'm slim, not too slim kinda like a bit moderate with pcos but every article i read or any video i watch on pcos talk about weight, i don't even have any acne, some these recommended diets and exercises aren't for me at all, what should people who don't have weight and acne do??

[sophiamoore]

I’m a type 1 diabetic and was diagnosed at 13 and i just found out that i have pcos at 19 i’m now 20 would i ever be able to get pregnant 😢

[AyamgaSheila]

I have irregular periods, my child is 4years now. I have been trying to conceive for three years now and no results. I was diagnosed os Pcos a year ago and was placed on M2 tone

[BrianaMonroy-xg]

I was just diagnosed with insulin resistance PCOS. My AMH level was 6.5. Had vaginal ultrasound and they saw I have many eggs but they are being blocked by many cysts. Does that mean even if my levels show I’m ovulating the eggs are being released?

[kaitlynmorganelli]

I was just diagnosed with PCOS today. Irregular cycles, elevated testosterone, missed ovulation, and high levels of DHEA sulfate. Is myo inositol a good fix for this?

[irem]

I have pcos, visited Dr few times but the only thing they're saying is keep trying. 8 month is already passed like that and I hate this situation. Just hopeless.

[aartikaushik-gjyp]

i have irregular period but after talking ovistol my periods starting in 28 days can i now get pregnant its been nearly one year when i get married

[sunishii]

My doctor gave me metformin even though I dont have insulin resistance pcos. Should i take metformin? Or should I take inositol instead of taking metformin?
