Part of the last hoorah effort is Myo-inositol. While there isn't definitive proof that it helps, the early research definitely shows it as a positive, and there is no down side to it.
I've included some information from different sources about what it does and how they think it helps.
Firstly, it actually used to be known as B6. Then the powers that be changed their definitions of what a vitamin actually is (something that the body does not naturally produce), and therefore as the body can produce inositol, it was removed from that list.
PCOS Diva has a really good post on Myo-inositol which is worth reading.
Effects of myo-inositol supplementation on oocyte's quality in PCOS patients: a double blind trial.
This trial showed that the number of eggs and then embryos transferred was increased when myo-inositol was taken.

It acts as an insulin-sensitizing agent - perfect for PCOS patients who have insulin resistance like me
For me it is worth a shot. It was $28 a bottle which will last for a month. Fingers crossed it makes a difference.
