TTC with PCOS vitamin advice

Just looking for some advice please..
I was diagnosed with pcos in my 20's after blood tests (am now in my late 30's). Ttc #1, I am overweight and trying to lose it yet again. Currently on Metformin 1500mg sometimes miss a pill if im honest. I also recently started Pregnacare Max and added B6 and Zinc.
After 20yrs I came off the pill 6 months ago, my weight is going up. I have one small fibroid and my ovaries are normal. Am wondering whether to add inositol too? Pregnacare has 1000mg per 2 tabs. Thanks

*Oops Pregnacare has 100mg per 2 tabs not 1000mg!

Hey , I'm 37 ttc #1 with pcos.
I definitely recommend inositol. I believe the recommended standard dosage is 2000mg .
Are you taking the pregnacare max pregnancy or the conception max version? It dosent matter , both are suitable but the conception one has added q10 and dha which is important for egg quality in pcos.
I supplement with extra q10 and recently added ALA ( its been shown to help aid cycle regularity, egg maturation , fertilization, and embryo development aswell as combating blood sugar levels)
I was using pregnacare conception max but I've recently been loving terranova pre natal multivitamin.

@PinkMandalorian Hi, thanks for replying 😊 I'm taking conception max. My periods have been regular and my cycles last about 25 days so was worried about adding the inositol on top of the Metformin, pregnacare and other vitamins. Ooh what's ALA? Could you recommend an inositol powder please? I can't manage anymore tablets on top of my current 5 a day lol. What doss of q10 are you taking? How long have you been trying to conceive? We're on cycle 6 but took a bit of a break last month as I was getting too stressed. Sorry for all the questions!
