I too am hoping that you're cycles start to resume the closer you get to goal. I was on the bc patch from 2 months post op until a year. At that time I went off the patch to find that I'd been regulated and was ovulating on my own. Unfortunately because I was on the patch I don't know how long it took me to get to that point. Like you my health was rapidly deteriorating and I had to do something about it. My IR had become full blown diabetes after 4 years of knowing I was IR and being on Metformin for it. My blood pressure continued to rise and I'd developed severe obstructive sleep apnea. My diabetes went away almost immediately and was declared 'officially cured' and I was released by my endo at 6 months post op. I was weaned off of my blood pressure medication and was med free by about 5-6 months out. As for the sleep apnea my DH took my CPAP away from me at around 2 months out and I've not needed it since. Unfortunately for me though my high blood pressure did return at 2 years 3 months post op with no reason. My primary doc ran all kinds of tests and everything came back normal so he thinks it's just a genetic thing as everyone I know of in my family has it. At least now it's very easily controlled at a low dose medication as opposed to before.

Have you seen an OB or even your primary about running hormone levels to see where you're at?
