Hello, my name is Tammy and I am 40 years old. I am a moderator for the PCOS Angels. I also work for Insulite Labs as a CSR/PCOS Coach. I live in Illinois and have been married for 16 years. I want to share with you my PCOS journey.
Everything was fairly normal until my early twenties. I started out at around 120 pounds and ballooned up to 350 pounds within roughly a year and a half. I also started having very irregular cycles. I would have none for six months or so and then have one for 3 or 4 months straight. The one that I would have would be extremely intense. I started getting skin tags, facial hair and the hair on my head was starting to thin out.
I went to several doctors over the coarse of a few years and none of them really knew what was going on. One would say this, another would say that, but really had no clue what was going on. They just wanted to throw birth control pills at me and tell me to push myself away from the table. In reality, I had never changed my eating habits at all from when I was skinny. Finally, I found a doctor that diagnosed me with PCOS. I was put on Metformin and Clomid. I was on the maximum dosage of Clomid and it never changed a thing. I gave up for quite a few years and just suffered through my issues. I was very depressed and frustrated because I really wanted this fixed and to have a baby. In 2006 I had a DNC because my uterus was extremely full. This did not really help much either so I was put on Provera for ten days each month to induce my cycle as well as 2000 mg of Metformin per day. This entire time I have been on various drugs for depression and anxiety.
Finally, I found the company Insulite Labs. I started the Insulite system in October of 2011 and within two weeks I ovulated for the first time in my life and have had regular cycles every since then. Insulite is an all natural supplement program for people with PCOS/Insulin Resistance. I am off all other medications and have been taking other natural supplements to help with everything including my depression and anxiety. Not only do I get to be on this wonderful supplement system, but I also get to work for them. I get to help other women with PCOS everyday. I have lost 65 pounds and am optimistic of loosing much more. My PCOS condition has improved drastically and for the first time I am starting to feel like myself again. I am now looking to the future with positivity.
Best wishes,
Tammy
