Fertility Case Study: How Lizzie Got Her BFP After PCOS Diagnosis ✨
Lizzie had been trying to conceive for 6 months after stopping the birth control she’d been on for 10 years, but her cycles came back so irregular, that TTC was proving to be difficult.
She came to me feeling hopeless & nervous that she would never be able to conceive.
In reviewing her functional labs, a few things jumped out to me:
☝ Fat maldigestion & poor enzyme/stomach acid output indicating impaired food breakdown & reduced nutrient absorption
☝ Insulin resistance, often seen in PCOS
☝ Elevated testosterone, often seen in PCOS
☝Some serious mineral depletion (these are like the spark plugs to our cells, running our metabolism, digestion, and hormone production/signaling)
Lizzie shared these lab results with her OB/GYN who confirmed PCOS.
We made specific tweaks to her diet to support digestion, blood sugar balance, egg quality, and nutrient replenishment. Then we brought in some targeted supplementation to provide more robust support in these areas.
Month by month, her cycles became shorter and more predictable.
And just 4 months into our work together, she messaged me with her BFP!!!
