When it comes to PCOS (PMOS), Fertility, and Hormone Health, we refuse to settle for a Band-Aid treatment plan.

What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, listen, and take a root-cause approach to evaluating your hormone health.

Our approach to evaluating fertility and hormone health is multilayered. The process? Keep Reading!

Initial Consult: Evaluate your history, family history, complaints, symptoms and goals. Make a plan for bloodwork

Step 2: Labwork- you’ll be scheduled for blood work at a few different points in your cycle. The Key? We’re not evaluating hormones individually… we’re looking at how they are working with each other. Since hormones fluctuate during the cycle, we want to see how these fluctuations are happening… How hard is your body working? How does it need our help?

Step 3: Treatment plan: Depending on lab results and your individual goals, treatment plans may or may not involve traditional medication. We will discuss lifestyle changes, diet, and fitness plans that address your specific needs, then add herbs and medications as needed to help you along the way.

Step 4: check back in- We often recheck labs at 6-12 weeks after changes/meds to make sure that we don’t need to change anything

Questions:

Do you prescribe birth control for PCOS? No, not usually, unless you want to be on birth control. Instead of controlling hormones with birth control, we dive into why the hormones are abnormal to begin with.

Will I spend a ton on supplements?- No. i don’t sell or profit off of any supplements, and I only prescribe things that are specifically helpful to your situation

Will you write prescriptions for fertility medications? Yes, after a thorough workup and plan to address root causes for fertility issues

Does PCOS mean I am infertile? No. PCOS is a complex disorder, and infertility is sort of a domino-effect process. By getting thorough history and labs, then making a comprehensive plan, we can work to reverse the domino effect and restore your body to a more healthy state. We may use fertility medications while we are on that journey

When should I “check my hormones? If you’ve had a history of miscarriages, irregular cycles, endometriosis, PCOS (PMOS) symptoms, etc. having a workup is extremely helpful. Although these things don’t always compromise fertility, they do raise your risk for certain things in pregnancy, like gestational diabetes and high blood pressure— and those things could disqualify you for Midwifery Care. We want to minimize complications… and we absolutely want to minimize your risk of miscarriage. A hormone workup is extremely helpful for preconception planning
