Hello!!! I'm a newbie and I came across this site when I googled Insulin Resistance. I am just elated with all these wonderful success stories and this thread gives me such hope!! I haven't "offically" been diagnosed with pcos JUST yet - but I WAS diagnosed with Insulin Resistance - which my doc says (sometimes) goes hand in hand with pcos. I've never had a problem with af (thankfully) and I have no children (nor am I married or ttc). I'm on yasmin FOR that reason. But my doc just perscribed me metformin to get the insulin resistance under control. I have been exercising and eating healthy for 6 months with literally ZERO weight loss. I've been exactly the same weight for 6 months (for more on this my story is in my profile.) I started the metformin on Tuesday night and now, being saturday, I'm down three pounds!!! I'm VERY excited and so happy to find such a wonderful community! Everyone's stories here give me such hope!
