Has anyone noticed fertility or postpartum changes connected to insulin resistance?

Hey everyone!

I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this and wanted to hear real life stories.

I struggled with infertility for about a year and a half before conceiving my first child, and later learned I likely had some early signs of insulin resistance that were missed. I also had gestational diabetes in both pregnancies, and now postpartum I notice the same blood sugar related symptoms showing up again like cravings, energy dips, and stubborn weight changes.

I have been doing a lot of reading and learning about how insulin resistance can affect cycles, ovulation, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery, but personal experiences always help me understand the bigger picture.

If you are comfortable sharing, have you noticed:

• changes to your cycles or ovulation
• differences in fertility
• gestational diabetes
• postpartum symptoms that feel connected to blood sugar
• anything that helped you feel more balanced

I really appreciate any insight. It helps to know what others have experienced too!
