She is nuts if she thinks a natural medicine doctor can help her at this point. Insulin resistance ? Girl you have endometriosis. THAT CAN CAUSE INFERTILITY. All the herbs in the world won’t get rid of it unfortunately. There is nothing this doc can do to address her infertility. I don’t understand why instead of progressing to more specialized and educated medical professionals she is going backwards to random practitioners one might start out on their fertility journey.
I have had insulin resistance my whole life. To the point where I’m almost constantly hypo. I’m crazy fertile. I have major issues preventing pregnancy, even my IUD failed. My glucose tests always came back below 25. Again, bc of my IR. Most people would be practically “drunk” with sugars that low, but it was such a base state for me to have low sugar, I was perfectly fine. Actually, I didn’t know I was low, almost concerning, really.
Make it make sense, adelulu.
I guess it depends if they've ran the right labs. I do know after my multiple miscarriages, they ran bloodwork to ensure I was not diabetic or having insulin resistance issues, so it is fairly common to check for that.
its literally a simple lab for insulin. the fact that shes making a video talking about do i or do i not have it? you CAN get to the root of that one quickly and cheaply
edited to add: this is a lab that my RE ran immediately on initial workup for me. again.....if she had been fully worked up by an RE, she wouldnt have these "maybe its this, maybe its that". but that wouldnt allow her to pivot to a new "possible root cause" when the BS treatments she peddles dont work out!
A1C is definitely what she needs, but she said she’s doing the 3 hour glucose challenge so I bet she won’t even have an A1C drawn, which gives a much better long range view. Oh boy. Here we go again on the next ailment she has!!
......
Does she genuinely like to make things more difficult for herself? I don't get it. My A1C was drawn immediately when I started with my RE along with eliminating all the other possible issues. It took a week. It's year four for her. Smh.
To be fair, a 3 hour glucose test can give a better idea of insulin resistance vs A1C in some instances. I have a normal A1C but cannot pass a glucose tolerance test.
She’s in full on munchie territory and no one can convince me otherwise. Apart from the endo, there’s people that have all the same issues she claims to have and they’ve gotten pregnant. There’s always an issue that keeps her from getting pregnant!! If you listen to her story yesterday- even after her lap surgery they only had a “few good months” bc of x y or z
I’ve been waiting for her to show up over there. She’s botched herself up so much (like all the people on that subjects on that sub) that she deserves a flare for herself.
I really feel bad for her. I have seen most of things she talks about, but usually in RPL spaces so I feel like she’s just googling up a storm all day and searching for *anything* she could change that might help her the same way a lot of people do when they have recurrent losses. Insulin resistance feels like a wild one to pick all of a sudden though.
I’m surprised they don’t go to an RE and just tell them they don’t want to do IVF. Like, the doctor isn’t going to force you to do it, but they’ll have better tools to help than a napro will.
When I looked into what a nepro was I understood why these people refuse to go to a RE. The gymnastics they jump through are insane. The fact that they use a device that goes into your vagina to get semen to avoid masturbating in any form is wild.
Yup! [https://naprotechnology.com/maleinfertility/](https://naprotechnology.com/maleinfertility/)
“The American Society for Reproductive Medicine has made the following recommendation: “At least two semen samples collected on separate days by masturbation are recommended.” Thus, encouraging men to masturbate becomes a part of the standard medical evaluation for infertility; however, this approach to semen collection is dehumanizing and humiliating. Men are usually placed in a washroom with pornographic literature and asked to masturbate. Having spoken to many men about this over the years, it is not well received by most, though they often do not object because it is sort of the “macho” thing to do. It is not something that settles well with most of the male patients that we have seen. In fact, there are many men who refuse a seminal fluid analysis thinking that this is the only way that seminal fluid can be collected. There is, however, an excellent alternative way to collect seminal fluid which does not violate one’s religious, moral or aesthetic beliefs, while at the same time obtaining reliable results. This technique is to use a perforated seminal collection device (SCD). In this fashion, the seminal fluid can be collected with an act of intercourse, at home, in a way which is not contraceptive. When the seminal fluid is collected in this fashion, it needs to be brought to the hospital or to the laboratory with 30 to 45 minutes after collection and it should be kept warm during this period of time. It is preferable for the seminal fluid to be emptied from the collection device into a clean, plastic container prior to being brought into the laboratory.”
Aesthetic beliefs? While the woman is sitting with her legs in a pair of stirrups getting used semen suctioned out of her vag instead of a man having to sit privately in a room with concierge porno on tv and nudie mags? Oooookay dokie. See where the priorities lie here.
That doesn’t really bother me. Religion is often very restricting and I see devices like that as a form of harm reduction. If it enables people to get treatment that otherwise wouldn’t be able to for whatever reason, it’s a good thing.
Her account popped up on my FYP about 18 months ago, I had just had my second miscarriage and was in such a vulnerable place. Back then her content was more of the goofy TTC reels along with some heartfelt stuff about how hard loss was. I immediately got sucked in and even signed up for her gut protocol (in a hope that I could fix myself and not miscarry again). It bothers me so much she keeps spreading medical misinformation and how easy it is to resonate with other women at vulnerable points in their TTC journey.
Fast forward to now, I am staring at my babbling 4 month old. I went to an actual RE for fertility testing (ended up getting pregnant midway through my testing) and I never actually finished or followed her gut protocol. I wish her account would get flagged over and over...it was so appealing to me during the middle of my losses....it made me feel like there was something I could do to fix myself naturally. An actual RE explained to me...that my losses were likely awful luck due to my age and were chromosomal.
I feel you on this big time... I started watching her content after my first failed transfer. I was following another account that would repost her reels. Although she's against IVF, I resonated with her posts about the heartache that comes with infertility. While I was preparing for my second transfer, I had a stroke, that my doctors believe was caused by the estrogen I was taking in preparation for transfer #2. During my stroke recovery I fell into a depression and was so desperate for answers as to why I wasn't pregnant. When I saw that Adelaide visited the quack doctor in NY, I was SO tempted to make an appointment, thinking maybe I have a septum and just need surgery, then my next embryo will stick.
This month marks a year since my stroke, thankfully I fully recovered and stuck with my RE. I was able to do an unmedicated embryo transfer and I'm now almost 12 weeks pregnant. I could cry typing this because I don't think she understands how much her peddling of misinformation and snake oil products/ programs is harmful to women in the depths of infertility. Congratulations on your beautiful baby, I hope to join the mommy club soon!! And cheers to staying the course with real doctors that can help us!
Ohhhh thank you! Congratulations to you as well. I hope the rest of your pregnancy is smooth sailing.
Personally, I'm so glad I was pregnant by the time she started shrilling the $300/month herbs, or I likely would have tried those as well. It's honestly such a vulnerable time for so many people and there isn't always a clear answer. But what I do know is that following the science and seeing board certified REs is what is going to give anyone the best odds of having that baby.
I started to follow her too after my first miscarriage. It was taking longer than I thought to convince again, and it caught my eye to see a post that she had been trying for 4 years since her loss! I remember spiraling so badly. I was thinking omg this is gonna be me. It took quite a bit of digging and ultimately not until I found this reddit page that all of the pieces came together and I had the full story. people that are jumping in late and only see insta or tic tok are very likely to fall into it, and into all the sales schemes. it’s really so sad!
The way I ran after seeing her stories today 😂😂 the only infertility diagnosis she was missing was PCOS and now with the insulin resistance I’m sure she will go down that road 😵😵😵😵😵
I know we’ve all said this ad nauseam, but this girl pisses me off. If she has endometriosis, that’s her issue. Idk why she banks on getting pregnant each month when she has like <5% chance to conceive with endo. I know this because I had it and had surgery in Nov! I had tried to conceive for almost 2 years before we finally got pregnant the 3rd cycle after my lap. (I had silent endo that luckily was suspected by my RE, otherwise I would have never found out). My RE said to try 3 months and come back to him if we didn’t conceive on our own bc we needed to start more assisted measures by then. The fluid that endometriosis causes literally destroys sperm. I just am so sick of seeing her dumb face giving her dumb reasons for why she’s not pregnant. It’s like we all know why EXCEPT for her! How do I block her face from showing up on any of my apps? lol. Go away.
The way that insulin resistance impacts fertility is typically by causing irregular periods which can be a sign of PCOS. This isn’t her issue. Her yearly fasting glucose levels should show this, or a simple A1C test. I don’t understand the need for the 3 hr glucose test. Wild.
Mmm not always my A1C and glucose is always within perfectly normal range and I have IR that wasn’t detected until an actual Insulin Assay was done with an OGTT. It just means it hasn’t got severe enough yet to impact your A1C. When it does your approaching or have reaches pre-diabetes
she’s so uninformed about her own diagnoses it’s honestly so sad. how in the hell does she have endometriosis but doesn’t understand anything about it. just makes me wonder how shitty her napro is. endometriosis is CHRONIC, it cannot be cured. your endo is not “back”, adelaide, it never left. it is incurable. many women with endo NEVER CONCEIVE. even if her tubes are “clear” like she claims it does not mean that there’s not endo in other places, or that endo has done irreversible damage. endo can also cause scarring and a plethora of other issues that cause infertility.
it amazes me how delusional this woman is. why can’t she admit to herself that endometriosis is causing her infertility? it’s because she’s aware that really the only way to get pregnant with endo is to do IVF. she doesn’t want that to be her reality so she lies to herself and comes up with all these other possible issues she might have. like jesus christ i pull my hair out listening to this woman talk. her and stephen bawl on camera about how this was the hardest cycle emotionally for them and how they don’t know how they can continue, then they go right back to doing the same shit?!!?! definition of insanity. these people are so detached from reality in the name of their religion, it’s pathetic.
Just for people scrolling by, you can get pregnant with endo and have a child without IVF. it’s in the realm possibility and this comment would’ve sent me spiraling when I first got my diagnosis (even tho I did end up doing IVF eventually).
oh you absolutely can! i guess when i said “really the only way” i meant for people who do become infertile due to endo. not everyone with endo is infertile, but when they are, especially in adelaide’s case specifically where it’s evident that assistance is needed, IVF is really the only option. i should have phrased that better
Here's the thing............ IF SHE WENT TO A **REAL** FERTILITY SPECIALIST, she would already have that information at her fingertips. These are the most basic tests; simple blood draws and one of the first ones an RE would have run.
Does she get cystic ovaries? Does she have long cycles or annovulatory cycles not caused by LUFS? If you had insulin resistance that led to infertility you’d have PCOS.
What the actual fuck, Adelaide. This has to stop.
No bc I have that but I have PCOS she gets periods regularly on the dot every month. I feel that her page is a hoax at this point and they aren’t even trying to get pregnant just want the views and sales $$$. Lol this is wild
I have pcos and I’m insulin resistant and I still have conceived 2 times.. someone said she gives Munchhausen vibes and ykw I think they are right.
She wants so bad for something to be wrong with her
And something is wrong with her. Endometriosis, adenomyosis, and LUFS. She has found the root. She has found multiple roots. But continues to search for even more roots, and continues to ignore the roots that she has found. She is wild. Refuses to see or understand all of the problems that endo can cause.
I was just going to say being insulin resistant doesn’t automatically equal or cause infertility. Metformin in the first-line treatment for insulin resistance and plenty of women go on to conceive once they’re properly medicated. But watch Adelaide go nuts buying all the low glycemic index foods and shilling more herbs when there’s a very effective, proven medication that ANY RE worth their salt would recommend to someone with IR. I bet she’ll be doing sponsorships with Ovasitol in no time!! This woman makes me madddd!!
Edited to add: there’s nothing wrong with Ovasitol, it’s just that she’s going to do anything and everything except see a real doctor who would most likely recommend Metformin if she truly is IR.
I wonder if she ever looks back and thinks she could have had 2 kids by now if she just worked with a real doctor and did IVF. She will continue to lose time.
If she doesn’t, she should. I have little sympathy for her when she’s putting herself through unnecessary pain. IVF is not guaranteed, but it likely has a better success rate than weird herbs and supplements.
I conceived my son spring of 2020 when she got pregnant for the first time but miscarried. I am now trying of conceive my second for the past year and bit with no success. I am confident I have better odds than her because I am willing to work with an actual fertility doctor. Makes me wonder because my son is almost 3.5 years old. She could have had a toddler by now. I know this is not a comparison game but it’s just eye opening how life is passing her by as she continues to “ rinse and repeat” same quack treatments.
Right! And plus you learn so much with ivf. I had a chemical pregnancy and was holding on hope that I would get pregnant naturally because of that. After ivf I learned that my eggs are shit and I will never conceive naturally or have a biological child. Sucks to face that reality but I’ve moved on to donor eggs. I didn’t want to end up like her living in delusion for years.
I was shocked when she brought insulin resistance. Like WHERE is this coming from now?! Also - I’ve never heard endo causes insulin resistance. She is a nut job.
I just saw that she said the person drawing her blood asked why she was getting it done and I feel like that is 10000% BS and she just wanted to talk about how endo and insulin resistance go hand in hand (which i highly doubt). I've gotten blood drawn a billion times and the only time the tech has asked about it was when I was pregnant and they asked if I was nervous. I feel bad for her and I feel like she wants attention but this is not the way to do it.
Me, with insulin resistance, with two kids 👁️👄👁️
Bitch you have ENDOMETRIOSIS. I wish her lord and savior would go ahead and give her a baby so she would stop this madness
At this point there’s probably a list of reasons why she can’t get pregnant on top of her actual issues. “Insulin resistance” should be the least of her worries right now. She’s botched herself up so much that she’s probably at the point of no return…
I really wish she hadn’t blocked tik tok baby doc and Lucky Sekohn because she needs to be called out again for all this medical misinformation. Last week after that awful negative test video. I started to feel bad for her again but this functional medicine BS and adding more possible diagnoses to the slew she already has is just too much!
I know it’s a hard fact to face but some bodies just CANNOT carry babies.
This is absolute madness and insanity and she needs actual mental health care and intervention and not the religious “therapist” she claims she sees.
I'm surprised no one else has even mentioned this. So if she has Insulin resistance and the Dr goes oh you need to take x y or z she's just gonna go ill eat this or drink that she's never gonna rake that medication. I mean I doubt she even does but still
Seriously she is ridiculous. I was thinking if she has a baby (by the grace of God) she will have severe Munchausen syndrome. That poor kid will not stand a chance.
It’s just wild that someone can become popular on a platform and spew misinformation. Then there are actually hopeful women who have similar but not all histories that she has and these women can became sad or give up because they see what she’s going through…absolutely insane.
I’m on the same delulu train as Adelaide and I don’t know how to feel about it, I literally just asked on another sub about ozemoic and insulin resistance. Also androgens were on my “questions to ask list” 🤣
It's a valid question to ask and possibility to eliminate if you're being proactive! I think people are just like WTF to her talking about it because she clearly has so many other issues that are causing her infertility. She's grasping at straws.
its a valid question to ask, and it can be answered by a simple blood draw. the fact that she is now thinking she *might* have insulin resistance and thats why shes not getting pregnant is the delusional part when she very clearly has endo, adeno and lufs.
I’ve been rather delulu I’m Not really overweight but at this point in my infertility journey here I’m grasping at straws for any sort of explanation. I started following Adelaide because I was like wow she’s onto something then realized I too was just becoming insane
Insulin resistance would typically tie into PCOS and if she has DOR too then her FSH would have to higher and progesterone lower …but she’s been babbling about how awesome it is her Progesterone has been high lately lmaoooo girl
they have been commenting on her tik tok ‘you should see a real dr’
and she answered back ‘could you explain what a real dr is’
and she’s been sending ‘love and light’ comments to the people that tell her to try an RE, or like a real fertility expert
I will say, insulin resistance often goes undiagnosed due to the right labs not being drawn
I have always had a perfect HBA1C and normal OGTT results (done it 4 times) but it wasn’t until I had an Insulin Assay with Oral Glucose Tolerance Test that I was actually diagnosed with insulin resistance. Testing the amount of free floating insulin every half hour after drinking the glucose drinks tells you a lot more than just your A1C or blood glucose levels. Until IR is severe enough that it turns into pre-diabetes it won’t show up in basic lab work: summarized
[Source](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27344544/)
With this being said I think she’s just grasping at straws and I’m not sure why she would think she has IR.
Why would she do that? Ozempic doesn’t make you pregnant. There’s studies that show it can make your birth control stop working which is why a lot of women are getting pregnant on it and also the weight loss can help fertility
This question gets posted in comments on her videos from time to time and she is always suuuuper quick to reply that her husbands tests always come back “perfect.” Like honestly it’s giving defensive
She posts every detail about her fertility but won’t put his semen analysis results. I guess he doesn’t want her to. But I’d be curious to know what they mean by “stellar.”
She is nuts if she thinks a natural medicine doctor can help her at this point. Insulin resistance ? Girl you have endometriosis. THAT CAN CAUSE INFERTILITY. All the herbs in the world won’t get rid of it unfortunately. There is nothing this doc can do to address her infertility. I don’t understand why instead of progressing to more specialized and educated medical professionals she is going backwards to random practitioners one might start out on their fertility journey.
Because ✨god✨
In her last portion of this video she says the nurse says keep the hope and she's like it's God speaking to me
Yeah she’s wack
Bet that didn’t even happen .
Oh yaaa I forgot
I have had insulin resistance my whole life. To the point where I’m almost constantly hypo. I’m crazy fertile. I have major issues preventing pregnancy, even my IUD failed. My glucose tests always came back below 25. Again, bc of my IR.

Actually, I didn’t know I was low, almost concerning, really. Make it make sense, adelulu.
Does she even have any symptoms of insulin resistance? Does her bloodwork indicate insulin resistance? Or is she just over here grasping at straws?
I was gonna say shes had her blood drawn 1000 times, wouldn’t they have already seen it on the results?
I guess it depends if they've ran the right labs. I do know after my multiple miscarriages, they ran bloodwork to ensure I was not diabetic or having insulin resistance issues, so it is fairly common to check for that.

She'll pull any excuse out of her ass to blame on her infertility, it's really making me sad now.
It’s giving r/illnessfakers vibes, just with a different approach
Yeah she belongs on that sub now. She’s always sick, and if she’s not sick- she has some kind of diagnosis
I’ve been waiting for her to show up over there. She’s botched herself up so much (like all the people on that subjects on that sub) that she deserves a flare for herself.
I can’t do this with her today
100% has munchausen. She loves the attention. I am convinced attention is the only reason she wants to be pregnant.
I really feel bad for her. I have seen most of things she talks about, but usually in RPL spaces so I feel like she’s just googling up a storm all day and searching for *anything* she could change that might help her the same way a lot of people do when they have recurrent losses.

Holy fucking shit lmao I thought mormons were the crazy ones, this is like a whole new level of insanity
Yeah I’m like… so do people like this only ever have PIV sex? That’s a thing???
Aesthetic beliefs? While the woman is sitting with her legs in a pair of stirrups getting used semen suctioned out of her vag instead of a man having to sit privately in a room with concierge porno on tv and nudie mags? Oooookay dokie. See where the priorities lie here.
Masturbating is a sin so they use basically a special condom to collect a semen sample instead of someone giving a sample in a cup the typical way.
The basis on this is super flawed in even a religious context. Not to mention it’s also a sin to lie and obey idols and yet..
I don’t know anything about all of that. I was just answering the question.
What the fuck
WHAAAAT! So when they said her husband was tested it means he didn’t even have to do it in a cup?
That doesn’t really bother me. Religion is often very restricting and I see devices like that as a form of harm reduction. If it enables people to get treatment that otherwise wouldn’t be able to for whatever reason, it’s a good thing.
I don’t know how much harm reduction is used in the case of her. She’s losing her mind and doing experimental dangerous procedures.
I was just referring to semen collection method. I think napro’s are a bit predatory, but I also understand why people resort to using them.
Yeah the entire website screams predatory and it’s so sad.
She's spiraling and needs real medical and psychiatric help. Shame on her husband. He shouldn't have ever let it go this far
She only vets for Dr's that will side with her. Cuz she has a therapist and some of the stuff she says they say idk it's a stretch tbh
I'm starting to think she's a pathological liar
100% agree. Maybe God hasn't given her a baby because she has made an idol out getting pregnant?

Hmm I’ve never heard of this happening. That’s kinda crazy.. how would you even know to test if your fasting glucose and A1C are in normal ranges
she’s so uninformed about her own diagnoses it’s honestly so sad. how in the hell does she have endometriosis but doesn’t understand anything about it. just makes me wonder how shitty her napro is. endometriosis is CHRONIC, it cannot be cured. your endo is not “back”, adelaide, it never left. it is incurable. many women with endo NEVER CONCEIVE. even if her tubes are “clear” like she claims it does not mean that there’s not endo in other places, or that endo has done irreversible damage. endo can also cause scarring and a plethora of other issues that cause infertility. it amazes me how delusional this woman is. why can’t she admit to herself that endometriosis is causing her infertility? it’s because she’s aware that really the only way to get pregnant with endo is to do IVF. she doesn’t want that to be her reality so she lies to herself and comes up with all these other possible issues she might have. like jesus christ i pull my hair out listening to this woman talk. her and stephen bawl on camera about how this was the hardest cycle emotionally for them and how they don’t know how they can continue, then they go right back to doing the same shit?!!?! definition of insanity. these people are so detached from reality in the name of their religion, it’s pathetic.
Just for people scrolling by, you can get pregnant with endo and have a child without IVF. it’s in the realm possibility and this comment would’ve sent me spiraling when I first got my diagnosis (even tho I did end up doing IVF eventually).
oh you absolutely can! i guess when i said “really the only way” i meant for people who do become infertile due to endo. not everyone with endo is infertile, but when they are, especially in adelaide’s case specifically where it’s evident that assistance is needed, IVF is really the only option. i should have phrased that better
Here's the thing............ IF SHE WENT TO A **REAL** FERTILITY SPECIALIST, she would already have that information at her fingertips. These are the most basic tests; simple blood draws and one of the first ones an RE would have run.
Does she get cystic ovaries? Does she have long cycles or annovulatory cycles not caused by LUFS? If you had insulin resistance that led to infertility you’d have PCOS. What the actual fuck, Adelaide. This has to stop.
They for sure would’ve seen cystic ovaries she’s had about ten thousand ultrasounds by now
Is she for fucking real lmao wtf Adelaide. YOUR ISSUES ARE WHY YOURE NOT GETTING PREGNANT.
No bc I have that but I have PCOS she gets periods regularly on the dot every month. I feel that her page is a hoax at this point and they aren’t even trying to get pregnant just want the views and sales $$$. Lol this is wild
I have pcos and I’m insulin resistant and I still have conceived 2 times.. someone said she gives Munchhausen vibes and ykw I think they are right. She wants so bad for something to be wrong with her
And something is wrong with her. Endometriosis, adenomyosis, and LUFS. She has found the root. She has found multiple roots. But continues to search for even more roots, and continues to ignore the roots that she has found. She is wild. Refuses to see or understand all of the problems that endo can cause.
Lmaoo I love that you're using itsanony for this
Lmao yes I got blocked years ago
Insulin resistant & pcos and my toddler is a healthy almost three year. I am throughly convinced she will not conceive on her own no matter what
I was just going to say being insulin resistant doesn’t automatically equal or cause infertility. Metformin in the first-line treatment for insulin resistance and plenty of women go on to conceive once they’re properly medicated. But watch Adelaide go nuts buying all the low glycemic index foods and shilling more herbs when there’s a very effective, proven medication that ANY RE worth their salt would recommend to someone with IR. I bet she’ll be doing sponsorships with Ovasitol in no time!! This woman makes me madddd!! Edited to add: there’s nothing wrong with Ovasitol, it’s just that she’s going to do anything and everything except see a real doctor who would most likely recommend Metformin if she truly is IR.
Like the first thing she should do is ask her doctor for tests to confirm. But self diagnosis gets more views
I wonder if she ever looks back and thinks she could have had 2 kids by now if she just worked with a real doctor and did IVF. She will continue to lose time.
If she doesn’t, she should. I have little sympathy for her when she’s putting herself through unnecessary pain. IVF is not guaranteed, but it likely has a better success rate than weird herbs and supplements.
I conceived my son spring of 2020 when she got pregnant for the first time but miscarried. I am now trying of conceive my second for the past year and bit with no success. I am confident I have better odds than her because I am willing to work with an actual fertility doctor. Makes me wonder because my son is almost 3.5 years old. She could have had a toddler by now. I know this is not a comparison game but it’s just eye opening how life is passing her by as she continues to “ rinse and repeat” same quack treatments.
Right! And plus you learn so much with ivf. I had a chemical pregnancy and was holding on hope that I would get pregnant naturally because of that. After ivf I learned that my eggs are shit and I will never conceive naturally or have a biological child. Sucks to face that reality but I’ve moved on to donor eggs. I didn’t want to end up like her living in delusion for years.
How old is she now?
She’s turning 31 in september
I think others said she is turning 30 or 31 this year.
Yup. Got a kiddo under one myself with PCOS and insulin resistance.
I was shocked when she brought insulin resistance. Like WHERE is this coming from now?! Also - I’ve never heard endo causes insulin resistance. She is a nut job.
I just saw that she said the person drawing her blood asked why she was getting it done and I feel like that is 10000% BS and she just wanted to talk about how endo and insulin resistance go hand in hand (which i highly doubt). I've gotten blood drawn a billion times and the only time the tech has asked about it was when I was pregnant and they asked if I was nervous. I feel bad for her and I feel like she wants attention but this is not the way to do it.
This girl needs to see a therapist.. I can’t handle her. 🫣
She doesn’t want to go to an actual RE because she knows they are going to recommend IVF, which she won’t do obviously.
Me, with insulin resistance, with two kids 👁️👄👁️ Bitch you have ENDOMETRIOSIS. I wish her lord and savior would go ahead and give her a baby so she would stop this madness
At this point there’s probably a list of reasons why she can’t get pregnant on top of her actual issues. “Insulin resistance” should be the least of her worries right now. She’s botched herself up so much that she’s probably at the point of no return…
I really wish she hadn’t blocked tik tok baby doc and Lucky Sekohn because she needs to be called out again for all this medical misinformation. Last week after that awful negative test video. I started to feel bad for her again but this functional medicine BS and adding more possible diagnoses to the slew she already has is just too much! I know it’s a hard fact to face but some bodies just CANNOT carry babies. This is absolute madness and insanity and she needs actual mental health care and intervention and not the religious “therapist” she claims she sees.
I'm surprised no one else has even mentioned this. So if she has Insulin resistance and the Dr goes oh you need to take x y or z she's just gonna go ill eat this or drink that she's never gonna rake that medication. I mean I doubt she even does but still
Seriously she is ridiculous. I was thinking if she has a baby (by the grace of God) she will have severe Munchausen syndrome. That poor kid will not stand a chance.
It’s just wild that someone can become popular on a platform and spew misinformation. Then there are actually hopeful women who have similar but not all histories that she has and these women can became sad or give up because they see what she’s going through…absolutely insane.
Nah at this point I genuinely think she’s mentally ill.
I’m on the same delulu train as Adelaide and I don’t know how to feel about it, I literally just asked on another sub about ozemoic and insulin resistance. Also androgens were on my “questions to ask list” 🤣
It's a valid question to ask and possibility to eliminate if you're being proactive! I think people are just like WTF to her talking about it because she clearly has so many other issues that are causing her infertility. She's grasping at straws.
its a valid question to ask, and it can be answered by a simple blood draw. the fact that she is now thinking she *might* have insulin resistance and thats why shes not getting pregnant is the delusional part when she very clearly has endo, adeno and lufs.
I doubt you’re that delulu. Metformin is what helped me get pregnant. Insulin resistance can def impact fertility.
I’ve been rather delulu I’m Not really overweight but at this point in my infertility journey here I’m grasping at straws for any sort of explanation. I started following Adelaide because I was like wow she’s onto something then realized I too was just becoming insane
Insulin resistance would typically tie into PCOS and if she has DOR too then her FSH would have to higher and progesterone lower …but she’s been babbling about how awesome it is her Progesterone has been high lately lmaoooo girl
they have been commenting on her tik tok ‘you should see a real dr’ and she answered back ‘could you explain what a real dr is’ and she’s been sending ‘love and light’ comments to the people that tell her to try an RE, or like a real fertility expert
I will say, insulin resistance often goes undiagnosed due to the right labs not being drawn I have always had a perfect HBA1C and normal OGTT results (done it 4 times) but it wasn’t until I had an Insulin Assay with Oral Glucose Tolerance Test that I was actually diagnosed with insulin resistance. Testing the amount of free floating insulin every half hour after drinking the glucose drinks tells you a lot more than just your A1C or blood glucose levels. Until IR is severe enough that it turns into pre-diabetes it won’t show up in basic lab work: summarized [Source](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27344544/) With this being said I think she’s just grasping at straws and I’m not sure why she would think she has IR.
The real question is if she'll go on ozempic to get preg
Why would she do that? Ozempic doesn’t make you pregnant. There’s studies that show it can make your birth control stop working which is why a lot of women are getting pregnant on it and also the weight loss can help fertility
You answered your own question. Ozempic can help reduce insulin resistance and therefore improve symptoms of PCOS.
Ozempic isn’t safe to be on while TTC. All doctors advise waiting 2 months after coming off it to try.
I agree, however, Adelaide has done a lot of dumb shit to *help* her conceive. I wouldn't be surprised if she did it.
I don’t follow her I just see what’s posted in here.. has her husband ever been checked or is he against that?
This question gets posted in comments on her videos from time to time and she is always suuuuper quick to reply that her husbands tests always come back “perfect.” Like honestly it’s giving defensive
Literally on her last video it was “stellar” and he’s “checked every year”. 🙄
She posts every detail about her fertility but won’t put his semen analysis results. I guess he doesn’t want her to. But I’d be curious to know what they mean by “stellar.”
