Has anyone taken this? What do you know about it? In all my years on internet forums, it's something I had never heard of before. I have PCOS and I'm TTC and my doctor just recommended I try this before trying metformin.

krystee had success with it and can probably tell you more.

I have PCOS too and my RE asked me to take it. I did get pregnant the first month I took it, but it was also my first month of a trigger shot so it's hard to know if it was a combo or one or the other or a fluke that worked. But it didn't hurt!

I have about 20 packets left and am happy to ship them to you for free if you want them and are comfortable PMing your address.

krystee that's so sweet of you. I will send a PM. So I guess you stop taking it after actually becoming pregnant? Was it easy to drink? I figure I might as well try.

I have a couple of samples that I got from my OB/gyn. I haven't taken it yet, though. when are you supposed to take it? is it once a day?

I got some samples from my doctor last year and used it on and off...probably not the most effective way to go I didn't see any difference with it (and I didn't get pregnant) I found it hard to drink, the stuff settles really quickly on the bottom of the cup so you have to drink fast and/or keep stirring!

She told me twice a day, every day.

Does it supposedly have benefits for people who don't have PCOS? Or is it strictly a PCOS thing?

I don't have PCOS, my doctor gave it to me with the attitude of "it can't hurt!"

I don't know how much it actually could help though. As I mentioned above I didn't take it religiously.

I've been using it too but it hasn't helped me get pregnant. I'm just finishing off the box I have now but won't buy it again. I got it cheapest through Walgreens.com with Ebates!

It tastes fine (tasteless) but it is a pain to mix as it settles pretty quickly!

I took it for a couple of years to regulate my cycles after going off bcp, I never had PCOS. I can't say if it got me pregnant or not, but it definitely didn't hurt and it definitely did regulate my cycle and stop mid cycle bleeding.
