MINI PODCAST: The tea on ovulation predictor kits, prep for coming off the pill (and if it’s necessary), postpartum PCOS and making a plan post-PCOS diagnosis

PCOS Explained - A podcast by Clare Goodwin - Wednesdays

Categories:

It’s time for another MINI PCOS POD! A question-and-answer style podcast where I spill allllll the tea on PCOS - every week I answer your questions from my Instagram on all things symptoms, fertility, habit changes - pretty much everything related to PCOS!This week I’m talking about a few things but there’s still been a whole lot of questions around fertility and reproductive health (which I find super interesting, so I love answering these!) off the back of our birth control series. I talk all about postpartum PCOS, what to expect and the misconception that it can ‘kickstart your body’ into working ‘normally’, getting false positives on ovulation predictor kits and why you really shouldn’t waste your money on these (!!!), why it’s good to prep yourself for getting off birth control and HOW to do that, and the first thing you should be thinking about when you’re planning out your approach post-PCOS diagnosis (which is something that isn’t talked about nearly enough - and I may very well do a full podcast on this!).If after this you think ‘oh! That reminded me of a question I really want to know the answer to’, you can submit one! We post a question box on instagram stories every couple of weeks where we collect alllllll the Q’s so I can sit down, switch the mic and recording software on and give you all the A’s! This episode is for you if:You’re pregnant or are recently postpartumAlready have insulin resistance to some degreeSome things we cover in this episode:Luteinising Hormone and what’s happening with it in women with PCOSThe downfall of ovulation predictor kits - particularly for PCOSWhy you shouldn’t hope that postpartum will mean you get symptom reliefHow youLinks to our programs:The PCOS ProtocolEggducatedFollow me on social media:InstagramFacebook
