I'm so confused. My RE said I have "mild" PCOS because all my labs came back normal, but with long cycles, a short lueteal phase (low progesterone) and 14 follicles on my right ovary on cd2, he thinks I have it.
I'm trying ttc (after a m/c this summer) and having no luck. Clomid worked for me, but after 4 rounds and IUI, still nothing.
So now he wants to put me on Metformin - but I'm not IR?! Is this normal? I'd LOVE it if there was a study somewhere I could read...
Thank you!

Short answer, Met helps regulate insulin, which helps regulate reproductive hormones. You may be insulin resistant, but it not show up in lab tests (your "normal" may be lower than others, so while still in the "normal" range, your numbers may be high for YOU). Did that make any sense? LOL - I can't think of how else to put it!
Since Met helps regulate hormones, it helps you ovulate. It also seems to boost the effects of Clomid, increasing the odds of it working. When you get pregnant, stay on the Met at least through the first trimester - since it regulates hormones, it helps prevent some miscarriages, too.
