Is there a better way to say: "My question is, is..." (e.g. "The question is, is it the right time")

It feels a little weird for me (or should I say to me?) to say:

So my question is, is having two 'Is' correct?

And also this seems to me incorrect grammatically:

So my question is, is having two 'Is' is correct?

Are any of the above grammatically correct? Is there a better way to ask the question in the examples?

Solution 1:

It's ok to repeat words sometimes. The sentence makes sense. If you're writing then you can re-word it to eliminate any chance of confusion or any semblance of impropriety, but for speaking it's fine.

My question is: Is having two "is"es correct?

is grammatically equivalent to

My question is: Are two "is"es allowable?

the first part introduces the second part and it's pretty clear which words belong to which parts. But if you're uncomfortable with it, re-word it.

Solution 2:

I'd just get rid of the "So my question is," and simply state the question.

This removes unnecessary words, makes it more direct (which is good, unless you're [unconsciously] trying to avoid asking the question), and generally doesn't irritate impatient people who love to say, "Spit it out already!".
