If you're gaining weight, acne, hair loss, facial hair, body hair, if you're not getting pregnant, if you can't lose your weight, none of this, you're not crazy.

These are the underlying conditions and these vicious cycles need to be addressed.

Very good question.

So I'm not a fertility doctor, but I'm trying to take these patients out of the hands of the fertility doctors.

So one thing I do, I put them on the supplement, on my OV supplement.

I give them metformin, and I have them try.

And I try to see if I can regulate their period.

Two things you can do easily, and doctors can do it in their office.

One is a medication called letrozole, and the other one is Clomid.

Both of those basically regulate that hypothalamus, pituitary, ovarian axis and pushes these patients to ovulate.

With letrozole, 60%, 70% of them, I think, ovulate.

And with Clomid, it's a little bit less.

So you can try those in the office for someone who wants to get pregnant.

What I usually do, I have them try on their own.

for six months to a year, depending on their age.

If they're above 35, I say six months.

If they're less than that and they're not in a hurry and their egg count is good and I know I've dealt with their PCOS and their inflammation and their insulin resistance, then I have them try for a year, right?

Because if you take 100 couples

Regardless of age.

And you have them have sex, I don't know, three times, three to four times a week.
