if you're scared about your fertility as a pcos cyster — i've been there 🫂 i was put on birth control at 13 for painful, irregular periods (which didn't work btw my cycles were still irregular and painful when it did show up) then told at 27 i might never conceive naturally i was heart broken but also confused because HOW did this happen? it wasn't until i worked with my pcos mentor for Period Restoration that i understood that the birth control was MASKING MY HORMONAL IMBALANCES that i had since I was 12! and 15 years of masking the hormones that were out of balance instead of addressing them led to worsening imbalances over time 🥹 i actually felt hopeless, it was hard not to blame myself but i came to realize over time i was a CHILD and my Doctors had failed to properly guide me making me think birth control was the ONLY option when it wasn't once my mentor helped me to finally start addressing the hormonal root cause of my irregular and painful cycles (estrogen, insulin, cortsiol) i got my first natural cycle in just 18 days and i’ve now had 22 cycles since… no birth control, no medication 🙌🏾 here’s how you can start regulating your cycle naturally too: ✨ manage your blood sugar by pairing protein (1/4-1/2 of your plate) + fiber (fruits, veggies, whole grain) every meal ✨ reduce stress that spikes cortisol (daily movement, breathwork + journaling help) ✨ get 7–8 hrs of sleep — your hormones reset overnight and it's a non-negotiable for managing your cortisol (yes its our stress hormone but it also controls our sleep cycle!) 👉🏾👉🏾if you’re... 😮‍💨 tired of trying random tips and tricks 😮‍💨feel like you’ve done everything with no results, 🔥ready to see faster changes — it’s time to stop guessing 💬 comment/dm “𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙏𝙊𝙍𝙀” for more info on how our Period Restoration Protocol can help you... 🥰restore your period 🥰boost your fertility 🔥loose weight 🥰feel like yourself again 🙌🏾 #pcosawareness #pcos #prediabetes fertility #womenshealth #blackgirlluxury ##blackwomenshealth #pcostips #pcosweightloss #n2f #newtofitness #ttc #periodrestorationprotocol - @ilaineyflex
