If you saw the post I did on my personal page, , then you can kind of consider this part 2 to that.

So one of the things my blood work revealed was that I had skipped ovulation last month. When we were trying to get pregnant with Nima and we were at the fertility clinic, they told me that I ovulate later in the cycle than those without PCOS, so I brought that up to my midwife/OB, thinking that’s why it said I didn’t ovulate.

After talking to my midwife, she told me that what they typically like to see for normal progesterone levels is a 10.
So, I asked her what my levels showed. 0.5. Yes. 0.5 out of 10. My body has been SCREAMING for help and I ignored her. 🤦♀️

So immediately, I knew I had to go back to my routine before going to the fertility clinic (they made me stop everything when we got started there). My routine, every single morning was: 1-2 drops Progessence Plus on my forearms and a roll of Endoflex on my neck.

Pro+ has natural progesterone from wild yams, so it mimics a human body’s progesterone. The addition of essential oils makes it more easily absorbed into the body! So while I am working on diet and other things in the background, I am using this to try to naturally boost my levels. Endoflex is a blend that has many herbs that are amazing for helping with PCOS symptoms, thyroid support, and libido boosting. You did read that right 🤣🙌🏼!

I’ll keep y’all updated on how this goes + will be talking about other things I’m doing to regulate my PCOS! **a note to the wise- whenever trying to regulate your hormones, even naturally, go slow and low. See how your body reacts and adjust accordingly! 💗
