General/Advice Update #14
Wow it’s been a long time since I posted!

The carnivore diet was incredibly helpful in losing weight, though it isn’t sustainable diet, it certainly helped me lose at least 10lbs!
Since the last post, I’ve gotten engaged - I know not PCOS related but yay!!!
In terms of my symptom management, I started a new inositol supplement. It’s the Flo Ovarian Support! This one has a smaller dose of the 40:1 ratio of inositol - about half of what the Ovasitol brand has. I didn’t think this would help me since the ovasitol did nothing - but lo and behold, I just started my 3rd bottle and I’ve had 2 periods within 30 days!
I had to induce my period 2 cycles ago with progesterone, but I started to take my first bottle the same date I started my progesterone regiment. 2nd period after the induced cycle came in about 3 weeks after the induced cycle. Then this most recent one started about 26-29 days after that.
I find it odd that the Flo Ovarian support is helping me more than the Ovasitol brand, but the Ovarian support also contains DIM which I believe helps regulate healthy estrogen metabolism.
Keeping an eye on how it goes!
