Pregnitude

in Trouble TTC
Have any of you tried pregnitude? I'm taking it along with metformin for the first time this cycle. My period was much more normal, like medium flow, where normally I have to wear overnight pads the entire week. I just really want to O and I'm hoping someone has had a good experience with it.

    Yes, I've read it's supposed to help with egg quality as well! Good luck to you!

    I had read it was really successful  in women with PCOS, so I did try it for a couple of months. Even though my RE was not so sure about the success rates, he called it "merely a supplement." I started taking it around the same time I started Metformin, I did O but not consistently. I can not say for sure if the times I O'd was because of the Pregnitude or the Metformin. But I kind of stopped taking it because of the price and the hassle with ordering the product online. If I could pick it up in stores I probably would consistently take it. Good luck!

    I never O on my own. I've only been able to pinpoint O one time in 5 years. And at that time i was consistently taking Metformin and eating a Paleo diet.

    I don't have PCOS and am not taking any meds currently but I am taking Myo-inositol which is the main ingredient in Pregnitude...4 grams per day, along with folic acid and melatonin.  It is supposed to help egg quality for IVF.  I started this routine in August so I don't have any long term success stories to offer you but I know that I did O this past cycle (albeit on CD 33) and I just got my first AF on it and I have to say I am really pleased with AF as well...it seems normal and healthy. I had been having wonky ones for years. I am really hopeful it has improved my egg quality and that I will O on time with a decent egg this cycle.   I recommend it since it hasn't seemed to hurt! Good luck!

    I have PCOS and took pregnitude during my IVF cycle to help with egg maturity (have been on metformin for almost 2 years). All my eggs that were retrieved were mature, so I feel like it helped but I can't say for sure if it was the main reason. I hope it helps you though!

    I've been taking Pregnitude this cycle and have not notice any difference in my cycle, but I'm mainly taking it for egg quality. I'm going to read up on the meletonin. I read about Melatonin  in the book "It Starts with the Egg" but have been hesitant to take it since I take xanax xl at night....but since I'm benched until the end of the year I might just try it out!

    Me: 33, DH: 32

    TTC: 2 years
    Fertility blood tests all normal
    Tilted uterus
    3 day ultrasound 17 follicles
    HSG: 11/13/13- tubes open
    DH SA: SUPER sperm (145 million, 84% motility, 22% morphology)
    All infection disease and immunity blood tests NORMAL
    FIRST IUI May 2014: 100 mg Clomid days 5-9, third ultrasound CD 13 revealed four follicles 27, 24 and 20 and 13mm. Trigger shot May 28 with IUI May 29 and 30 (fingers crossed) - BFN started spotting 11DPO :(

    IUI #2 B2B 6/23 and 6/24, three mature eggs and 130 million sperm! FX this is the month!  BFN 7/8

    3rd cycle benched due to cysts - TI with OPK tests -  BFN

    3rd mediated cycle: Clomid+Trigger+TI  (three follies left side, one on right as usual....what the hell right ovary get it together and produce some damn follicles!) 7DPO progesterone level 43 with NO suppositories YAY for a natural strong ovulation. Beta canceled started spotting 13DPO - Third time is not a CHARM! 14 day cycle WTF! Everything looks normal - RE wants to start injectables next cycle so this cycle I'm benched

    Officially benched until March....but still plan on trying the baking soda douche due to my excessive and thick CM

    JANUARY SIGGY CHALLENGE...This is so me!

    I don't take Pregnitude, but I do take the main ingredient in it-inositol in powder form. I was diagnosed with PCOS in July and read about the studies on inositol helping with PCOS patients and also helping with egg quality. I am taking a 3 month break from medicated cycles right now. I started taking inositol last month and also started to chart my temps. This is the first cycle I have ovulated on my own in over a year and in the 2WW. Can't say for certain if it's due to the inositol, but I'm plan to continue to take it since it can't hurt! 
    Me: 37 DH: 37, married since Sept. 2013. "actively" TTC for a total of 13 months (after 7 months of TTC, took a 1 1/2 year hiatus due to work scheduling and wedding planning. Started up again after our wedding in Sept.) First evaluation by an RE November 2013

    HSG-normal
    OH-tiny polyp found, but RE assured me she doesn't think it's contributing to infertility and doesn't recommend me to remove it because it's so small.
    DH's SA-normal
    Hormones all within normal levels
    Ovarian Reserve-RE says "is great" she's not concerned about my egg quantity (which I was until I saw her and results came back good!) 

    04/2012 50mg Clomid=BFN (prescribed by OBGYN, not monitored)
    06/2012 50mg Clomid=BFN (prescribed by OBGYN, not monitored)
    11/2013 100mg Clomid, with HCG trigger=BFN (prescribed by RE, monitored with US (2 dominant follicles) and baseline bloodwork done)
    01/2014 100mg Clomid, with HCG trigger-(prescribed by RE, monitored with US-1 dominant follicle)=BFN
    06/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, HCG trigger (prescribed by RE, monitored with US-2 dominant follicles), IUI #1 on 7/3/14=BFN
    07/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, benched for IUI#2 this cycle, because I ovulated on my own before my follicular US. Progesterone suppositories=BFN Diagnosed with PCOS this month too. Testosterone levels high at 76. =( 
    08/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, HCG trigger with 19mm follicle. IUI#2 on 8/31 cancelled last minute due to family emergency. 
    09/2014 Taking a 3 month break starting this month. If not pregnant in 3 months, will start up again with medicated cycles and IUIs. Had all my labs and AFC re-evaluated this month also. RE says nothing much has changed since my eval last November, okay for me to take a little break. =)
