Though I notice they are on the higher end of normal and that is with 500mg of met daily. The met has stopped my weight gain, but I haven't lost anything. He is going to check my estrogen and cortisol levels to see if that is the problem, but I have to wait another month to go back to him.
Has anyone else had this problem? | i'm not insulin resistant and my doctor didnt bother checking my hormone levels because they change so much throughout your cycle and we have no idea where i am in my cycle. he diagonosed me on symptoms alone. he said there are a lot of women who are non IR but still have PCOS and should be treated as such. he's also testing me for a few other things that have similar symptoms to pcos (such as androgen producing tumors) i havnt got the results yet but hes confident that its PCOS.
