In this Q&A-style episode, Dr. Danielle answers questions related to PCOS, fertility, and hormone health. She discusses the use of mucinex for fertility, the significance of high AMH levels in PCOS, the safety of intermittent fasting during different phases of the menstrual cycle, the timing of cold plunges, the benefits of raw carrot salads, the difference between the Dutch test and a hair follicle test for hormones, considerations for getting off spironolactone, the impact of SSRIs on gut health, and advice for a friend struggling to conceive despite regular cycles and accurate timing of sex.

Takeaways

• The use of mucinex for fertility is not supported by much scientific evidence, and it may not be suitable for all women.
• High AMH levels in PCOS are due to the presence of multiple immature follicles in the ovaries, not cysts.
• Intermittent fasting can be safe during all phases of the menstrual cycle, but more extreme fasts should be avoided during the luteal phase and early menstrual phase.
• Cold plunging can be beneficial for calming the nervous system, but it should be avoided during the two-week wait when trying to conceive.
• Raw carrot salads can be helpful for estrogen dominance and gut health.
• The Dutch test is a more accurate option for hormone testing compared to a hair follicle test.
• Getting off spironolactone should be done gradually and with support to minimize the risk of acne flare-ups.
• Food sensitivity testing may be beneficial for individuals with gut symptoms, skin symptoms, inflammatory symptoms, autoimmune conditions, or unexplained infertility.
• Progesterone levels should be checked to ensure they are sufficient for supporting pregnancy.
• Semen analysis should be considered to assess sperm health and motility.
• Improving egg quality may be necessary for individuals experiencing regular cycles but difficulty conceiving.
• SSRIs can have an impact on gut health and hormone balance, and probiotic support may be beneficial.
• Leaving a review for the podcast can help more women access valuable information about their health and options beyond conventional medicine.

Today’s Friday Chats episode is about when and how to use an OPK (Ovulation Predictor Kit) test. An OPK test can be a helpful tool when trying to get pregnant or gain clarity on when during your Menstrual Cycle you are ovulating. However, OPKs are NOT all created equal! It’s also important to know that PCOS can cause false positives. Tune in to learn what kind of OPK test I recommend and why, as well as how to know if you are getting false positives.
