He seemed to indicate that thin PCOS is not well understood and should probably be called something else entirely but they just call it thin PCOS because the symptoms seem to fit under that PCOS umbrella.

Just curious to know if you Dr. has put you on Metformin? After reading such good things, I asked to to be put on it. I too don't test for IR but my ovaries tell a different story. I am hoping the Met will help me ovulate. We are scheduled for IVF but I am hoping that the Met is helping me and that maybe with a miracle I will ovulate next month on my own. I am so sorry that TTC #1 has been such a difficult road for you. We have one and she was easy. I think this PCO stuff really came full force when I hit thirty. Just curious if you suffer from migraines?
