So I have had insomnia for my whole life, I remember even as a 6 year old being up until all hours of the night trying to think of ways to fall asleep. I have tried everything from over the counter sleep aides to ambien. Nothing even coming close to making me yawn. So a month or two ago my sister told me that she had started taking melatonin and that it was working wonderfully for her. She would fall asleep and the next morning she wasnt groggy at all. So I went and bought a bottle, having tried it already I was skeptical about whether or not it was going to work but I figured Id give it another go as an adult. Boy does it work. Amazing.. the first night however I threw up after I had taken it. The next night I ate something before then on the nights I didnt eat I realized thats what the difference was. So I always take it with something on my stomach. But I was concerned about whether or not it was a common side effect so I got online and looked up melatonin and as it turns out it is related to infertility because it prevents ovulatin and sure enough this month I was a week and a half late for my period. Finally started but Im not usually that late and when I am I usually have a cyst. So just to let all you ladies out there know. I know that insomnia is a symptom of PCOS and that everyone who has this is looking for a way to get some shut eye but just do some research to see if its the best thing for you.
God Bless!
