Haha! It sounds like you both had my old doctor! When I was in my early 20s this head-of-the-gyn-wing-at-a-major-hospital doctor took one blood panel then declared "lose 50 pounds and you'll get your period again." He was always trying to stick me on BCP, too, something I eventually caved to and was on for 7 years. The stuff never agreed with me.
Anyway, the funny thing is I started cycling on my own again after that and still do...and I weigh more than I did when I saw Dr. X. Not proud of the weight, but I'm working on it. I love my endo, she is terrific and always has read the latest research on both PCOS/metabolic syndrome and hypothyroid so she can guide me better. I also am pleased that she is letting me try Byetta, because Metformin was my enemy after many years of trying to reach a high dose.
