Default You need a good endocrinologist!

Girl, I would have someone's head if I'm gaining pounds and pounds, growing man hair, and possibly becoming less and less fertile everyday and they want to tell me do nothing? Heads would roll!

I don't know if you've been seeing PCPs or a specialist, but any decent endocrinologist will do your blood work and recommend an appropriate medication for your particular hormone situation.

Common scripts are Metformin and Spironolactone. Also, regular exercise helps to regulate insulin if you're having any secondary problems with insulin resistance (most of us are) carido for 30 minutes a day will help. If you've been missing your period a lot, I've found that the progesterone cream that you can find at herbal medicine or vitamin shops helps too.
