Mgmsrk, I haven't had a problem with insulin resistance only excess male hormones. My Ob-Gyn said he thought I may have PCOS because of that and my ultrasound showed multiple follicles. I went to my Primary Doctor to try to get a referral to an Endocrinologist. I showed her my papers from the RE about the excess male hormones and she prescribed the metformin and told me I didn't have to go to another Dr. unless I wanted to. I took the metformin for about 4 months. I went back to my Ob-gyn for abnormal bleeding. He did an ultrasound and my ovaries were all clear but a corpus lutem cyst. He took me off the metformin. He said that it can cause weight gain. I told him that I had not gained any weight and that initially I had lost ten lbs., but put it back on and after walking and eating right for about 5 weeks I didn't lose anything. So I did as he told me to do I stopped the metformin and took another round of Femara. I am waiting for results from my 21 day progesterone level. I don't think I Ovulated this time and I feel like I have a cyst on my right ovary now. I am so frustrated. I feel like I am trying to self diagnose now because I am getting such mixed messages from Drs. I wish I could just find one that knows what they are talking about and is willing to help me regardless of my needing to lose about 30 lbs.
