They told me it would take years. High prolactin. High testosterone. PCOS — now being renamed PMOS. Every appointment ended with a version of manage your expectations. Nobody sat me down and explained the insulin part. That when insulin runs high, it drives androgens up, and androgens are what stop a follicle maturing. That it’s a metabolic conversation as much as a reproductive one. So I stopped training like I was punishing myself and started training like I was regulating something. Three strength. Two Pilates or barre. Eight thousand steps. That’s it. That’s the whole method. I’m not telling you this is a cure. I’m telling you it was the variable nobody handed me, and I’d want someone to hand it to you. #ttc #fertility #pcos
