  2. Low carb does unfortunately work for me, every time

  9. Had a menstrual reset. Ever heard about it? tMI

    So, I have been having periods that last only two or three days. Was put on metformin and inositol. Nothing changed even after two weeks. Yesterday, I went to the loo after breakfast and I freaked...
