Welcome to the Insulite club! You will have to keep us up to date on your progress. Be sure to read the book that comes with it - I thought they did a pretty good job of giving tips and info I had never seen before.

Hey Girls!!

This is my first time posting on these message boards. I stayed up late last night reading this WHOLE thread! I'm so excited and WILL order this week! I have PCOS w. IR, Endometriosis & Fibromyalgia and am sick all the time. I hate it!! I have the nasty "beard" haha, I can't seem to lose weight...no energy....all that nice stuff! I NEED this to work!

I'm getting acupunture and it's the only thing that starts my period every month. I think this would be a good aid. I did see a naturpath a while back and she put me on some of the herbs that are in Insulite....and I did feel better. So I'm super excited for this! I want my life back....I'm 26, I am blessed with a 4 year old little boy, who's wonderful. But I'm not "there" all the time because I'm so ill. I now have constant pelvic pain...this needs to stop! I will keep you all posted!!

It's been nice reading about you!!! =)

Amber

Welcome, Amber. I use to do the same thing - read the post almost every day hoping to see some ray of light and really hoping it was working for someone - the results looked good so I am on my first month - week 2 of it in fact. So far so good. Its a lot of pills so I got one of those pill boxes that has a morning, noon, night and bedtime slot plus a little portable one that I can stick pills in if I am going to be away from home, etc. So far I only get messed up on the weekends when I sleep in a little and have trouble getting the breakfast ones in

But my energy is definitely more consistant, mood swings are decreasing - especially the sad part. Now just waiting for AF - I NEVER get it on my own so that will be a miracle to me.

Let us know how you do.

Thanks so much! I'm excited! Anyone doing Insulite & Nutrisystem? Nutrisystem is the only thing that has helped me lose the weight...slowly but still losing...I'm going to start both. I'm off to order my Insulite! =) Thanks girls!! I'll keep up on the thread!

Haven't done Nutrisystem - just following the good ole calorie/carb counting which has worked for me so far. Best of luck to you!

So I have noticed my fingernails (which historically have grown a bit and broken right off) have started growing like crazy. And they are pretty strong - interesting benefit.

Hey girls!

Today was my last day of my first month of Insulite. I just wanted to share my good results:

I got a BFP this morning!!!

I don't know if it's the weight loss, the exercise, the Insulite, or all of it together, but it WORKED!!!

Of course, I ordered 2 more months worth of Insulite the other day and its in the mail. LOL Can't take it now!

For those of you who aren't seeing immediate results: Keep it up! My results were subtle, but I still got what I wanted in the end!

WOW - that is amazing - congrats. If you don't mind my asking - did you already have regular AFs before starting insulite?

Not really, no.

Around early - mid April, I got AF and it lasted over a month. I went on BCP for a month to stop the bleeding (I'm allergic to progesterone) and it didn't work - until a few days AFTER I finished BCP.

After that, I did ovulate at some point (confirmed by bloodwork) and had a normal AF.

I decided to start charting after that, and this is what I got: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/bekki

I started Insulite at the very beginning of this cycle.

I truly believe that it's a combination of th weight loss and the Insulite.

Good Morning Everyone!

Congrats Tensei! If you do not mind me asking a couple questions-how long have you been trying and what, if any, other things/procedures have you tried? I am finshing up my first month of pills and completely feel off the wagon yesterday the 4th. I have lost 10 pounds in the first 3 weeks, but have been told by my doctor that weight is not an issue for me.

My nails are growing in stronger, that's for certain, but I hadn't made this connection. Wow!

Tensei, congratulations! I know this must mean so much to you. Alleluia asked about regular AF's pre-Insulite. I didn't get them (1 every 3 of 4 months) and I've cycled the two months I've been on Insulite. The second time I was late (10 days), but I did it without bcps, which has been impossible in the past.

Hello!

AF came yesterday-cycle was 31 days. That is the closest I have come to 28 days in as long as I can remember. I am usually 35-41 days. I have noticed my nails growing longer also. I still seem to be loosing some hair, but that could be stress related also. I really want this to work. My second month shipment should be arriving next week. I was o when the first months shipment arrived, so I am excited to see if I O this month again. We are really starting to get the baby itch, course it is always there, but there are just times I notice it more. Reading everyone's positive results really helps me stay positive (along with my DH).

Lambchop that is awesome! That is the one thing that will blow me away if it happens - if AF comes on her own then I am completely sold. In all seriousness, there are so many other benefits in less than a month that I am already sold but that would be the kicker!

Hi Everyone.

Today I am having one of those days were I feel like all I can do is just sit in a room by myself and cry all day. I do not know why (ok maybe I do), but I do not know why I am feeling this way today. Maybe I am starting to come to terms that IVF is going to be our only hope right now. I know I have only been on Insulite for one month and need to give it some more time. I really do not know what I am thinking-just needed to talk (type) to someone that maybe understands how I am feeling.
