I have increased androgens AND I'm "obese", so I dunno where I fit in (2 or 3).

I'm a new soulcyster, and I think I'm a 3 for sure - Obese, no ovulation and no menses plus full blown PCOS symptons, skin tags, darkened skin in hormonal spots, neck, under breasts, inner thighs, facial and upper torso acne, excessive hair growth and currently under progesterone theraphy to level out hormones. Currently taking 1000mg. Met daily, but I don't think it's enough - what do you ladies think?

Hmmm, I guess I am a 4, but I am more than mildly insulin resistant. But I generally have a weak ovulation on my own, and that makes me a 4, I guess.

So what does it mean if I don't fit any of those categories. I have the androgen problem, with annovulation, obesity, insulin resistant etc.
I guess I span across a couple of them.

Well, i thought i was a 3, but after taking a look at my levels again, I would say I'm an "obese 2".
