OK ya'll I know this is frustrating but listen, because I figured this out my symptoms after going to um.. many doctors

Get a glucose tolerance test AND get your testosterone and free testosterone tested before your period and at the 2 week mark because that is when your testosterone is the strongest. This provides a baseline to see if it's hormone related versus just IR. I have both therefore I have PCOS (on top I also have hair and cysts).

I started YAZ three months ago and I have lost weight already and my hormones are completely normal (it takes 12 weeks) and my sugar levels are normal. I do NOT need metformin. BC worked for me! If you'd like to chat more please feel free to contact me. I have tried natural ways, and take vitamins for other health problems but in reality, birth control was the only option for me for PCOS.

Namaste,

Sharon
