PregnitudeReproductive Fertility Support - Helps Promote Regular Ovulation - Menstrual Cycles, and Increase Quality of Eggs - 30 Day Supply 60 Packets

Although I can’t with certainty say that I got pregnant because I added Pregnitude into my regimen, I could say that after TTC for 19 months and changing nothing but adding this to my every day intake, we are now pregnant! Worth the money. I did feel like my energy increased, cravings decreased and that my sleep quality increased as well. Has a slight taste, but no biggie. I’d highly recommend for you to try!

This was my second box I bought and only made it halfway through the second one until I got pregnant! Unfortunately I had a miscarriage last year in July and have been trying to get pregnant ever sense. My periods were never consistent and I would miss my period every other month. This helped regulate my periods tremendously! We tried without pregnitude for awhile and finally decided to try this product. Not even a full 2 months in and we got pregnant!

Pregnitude: A First-Line Natural Treatment for all Women with PCOSBy Angela Grassi, MS, RDN, LDN for the PCOS Nutrition Center Blog ([...])Don't let the name of this product fool you: Pregnitude is a high-quality myo-inositol (MYO) supplement for all women with PCOS, not just those looking to get pregnant. Before I tell you why, I want to briefly discuss what MYO is and how it can improve PCOS.What is Myo-Inositol?A member of the B vitamins, MYO is believed to improve egg quality and acts as a secondary messenger involved in glucose utilization. It's believed that women with PCOS may have a defect in secondary messengers contributing to insulin resistance.How I explain this to my patients with PCOS is this: when we eat foods, mostly carbohydrates, they get converted into glucose in our blood stream. We need the glucose to enter our cells to be used for energy. When blood glucose levels rise, a signal (imagine a doorbell is rung) is sent from the cell door to the nucleus telling it to open up. However, with PCOS, the doorbell on the cell door may be defective. This means that it takes longer for the cells to open its doors to glucose resulting in higher amounts of insulin needing to be secreted. MYO, as a secondary messenger, acts to repair the doorbell so that the cell doors open in response to glucose, resulting in less insulin needing to be secreted.Health benefits of myo-inositolMYO is one of the most studied of supplements in women with PCOS. In addition to lowering glucose and insulin levels, MYO has been shown to improve lipid and androgen levels, blood pressure and egg quality in women with PCOS. It has also been shown to aid in weight loss. You can read more about these benefits in our previous blog post and fact sheet about MYO. Because of its numerous benefits, MYO should be considered as a first-line approach in the treatment of all women PCOS, not just those looking to get pregnant.About PregnitudeNow let me tell you why I like Pregnitude. Pregnitude is a tasteless white powder that gets dissolved in water. Each dose of pregnitude contains 2 grams of MYO and 200 mcg folic acid and comes in individually sealed packets. This makes it convenient to take on the go which will increase consistent use. Other than MYO and folic acid, there are no more ingredients, artificial colors, gluten, or sugars added. Compared to some other supplements marketed to women with PCOS, Pregnitude is affordable at $39/box (60 packets, at least a one month supply). Pregnitude is distributed by Everette Labs and has been used in Europe for years as INFOLIC.Personally, I was thrilled with the results of taking Pregnitude (at the PCOS Nutrition Center, we don't recommend a product unless we've used it). At my last physical, I discussed taking Pregnitude with my doctor. I had initial blood work done to check my cholesterol and glucose and then took 2 packets of Pregnitude (the recommended dose) each day for 3 months. I didn't alter my diet, exercise or supplement use.During this period, I experienced bouts of low blood sugar. My doctor recommended I decrease my metformin by 500 mg and I never experienced low blood sugar again while taking Pregnitude. Lean women with PCOS or those that don't have severe insulin resistance may not need the full dose of MYO at 4 grams/day. If you are planning on trying Pregnitude, you may want to start out with one packet per day (2 g MYO) for a week to see how you respond.After 3 months, I repeated my blood work and am pleased to share the results with you: my HDL (the "good" cholesterol) went up 5 points and my CRP went down 1 point. I also saw improvements in glucose as measured by HA1C. An unexpected surprise was that my hair was thicker. Not bad for only 3 months! I plan on continuing with Pregnitude and will get blood taken again (Septemeber 2013) to further assess any improvements in my health. I am also assessing data on clients using Pregnitude and will update on both.Side EffectsBesides the possibility of low blood sugar, Pregnitude is well tolerated. High doses of MYO may have additive effects when taken concurrently with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and selective serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) antidepressant medications. You should use caution when combining high doses of MYO with St. John's Wort or other herbal products or medications that may reduce blood sugar (such as metformin, byetta). Taking Pregnitude with food may minimize low blood sugar.Check out my follow up 6 month review of Pregnitude at [...]

-Update-It will be a month in a few days since I started taking Pregnitude. The sleepy feeling that I initially had disappeared after about 2 weeks. I started taking this because my periods were still somewhat irregular due to a miscarriage in August. My normal cycles were 32 days, but this month I started at 28 days. I usually spot 4-5 days before my period and I didn’t have any spotting this time around! I also had a very good, strong ovulation this last month. Not pregnant yet of course, but I’m happy with my results so far while taking Pregnitude. It makes me more optimistic as far as getting pregnant! Hopefully my next update will be good news and I will get my big fat positive I’ve been waiting for!Only giving this 4 stars for now because I’m only going on my 4th day of use. I wanted to try this out for two reasons 1. I unfortunately had a miscarriage in August and my periods are STILL not totally back to normal yet. So I wanted to see if this product would help regulate them. 2. Like most everyone else we have been trying to get pregnant again for almost 5 months with no luck yet. It might not seem like a long time compared to some women, but I thought why not give this a try and see what happens! Some of the things I’ve noticed so far while taking this is how sleepy it makes me! I’m hoping my body will gradually adjust over time. Also it makes you pee A LOT. So make sure to stay hydrated! I can definitely tell I’ve lost a little weight just within the 4 days I have taken Pregnitude which is a plus. To me it had a slight taste when I mixed it with just water, so I have been mixing it with 8 oz. of orange juice both morning and night. This has made it more enjoyable to drink for me at least. As soon as the month is up I will write an update on our progress. Hopefully I will be as lucky as a lot of you, but I’m not going to get my hopes up too high yet!

Been trying to get pregnant for six months. Used maybe 5 packs of this last month just for out im pregnant today!!
