I have been lucky enough to be diagnosed after several years of the same problems. However I know my treatment is a little lacking. I have never been referred to an endo, my doctor said my testosterone was 89 but said she didn't know if that was high for a woman or not, then never checked. I am on 500mg of Met and I know I need more but I don't know how to ask. The body hair on my face, lower belly and back has been increasing a lot lately, it's scary and she told me it should go away with the metformin and to wait. I don't know what to say to her. I feel bad because she's new and I'm happy she knew what PCOS was and helped me but the most she has me scheduled for for the next few months is a phone call from her nurse to make sure I get my period again by mid April. That's great but I am angry about the hair growth and I know there is more out there but I don't want to go on and tell her her job, I don't like confrontation and I like how she advocates for me in general like sending mer for an MRI when I had balance issues but I feel like I'm not getting the right treatment, What should I do? What do I say?!! I'm terrible with doctors I ask questions but then I shrink like a violet.
