When to seek personalized support and how Caitlin helps clients 1-on-1
Metformin helps lower insulin and androgens, potentially restoring ovulation.
Letrozole is often preferred over Clomid due to better outcomes and fewer risks (like multiple pregnancies).
Progesterone is used to either start a cycle or support the luteal phase.
Medication works best when paired with diet, movement, supplements, and stress support.
Caitlin encourages informed conversations with your provider to find what’s right for you.
