Hello! An introduction and a couple of questions :-)

Hi!
I'm 36 and have PCOS. I've been on birth control most of my life - I just came off the pill about 2 years ago (hubby and I want to get pregnant). Since then I've had an increase in zits, hair loss and hair growth (both in the wrong places... *sigh*)

Anyway, I'm trying to buckle down and do low-carb. When I did it briefly last year my cycle actually regulated. My questions...

* Is Ovablend okay to take since I'm trying to get pregnant?
* Should I take iodine? I'm taking Nature's Plus Source of Life - it's a multi-vitamin. The no iron, with Lutein formula. But it has 150 mcgs of iodine.
* If I can get my insulin under control, what are the odds that my hair will grow back in and my whiskers will go away?

Thanks so much, ladies!

I am not sure about the top two questions just because I know nothing about that honestly.
but since you are TTC and trying to get your insulin undercontrol, I think talking to your doctor about Metformin would be a good idea

hi! I'm new as well.

I also got off bcp's a few months ago and am in the same boat. (hair loss, little to no periods...) Thinking about trying primrose to help with that.
