i have pcos, no visible cysts found during scan. high testosterone levels.
i have read that the high testosterone level is probably to do with insulin sensitivity and this is probably responsible for the excess hair and I also have skin tags which I've read is a common symptom. I'm serverely overweight despite careful eating trying to avoid sugary carbs and processed foods - instead eating clean - I just don't seem to be able to get the weight to budge.
Im currently seeing my local women's health team and having some tests (been trying to conceive 14 months - had 2 chemical pregnancies)
I have another appointment coming soon and I'm tempted to ask for Metformin.
Does anyone have an advice?

Anyone?
Metformin regulated my periods, but I did have cysts.
it's not a drug for the faint hearted! Some nasty side effects.
it didn't work for weight loss, but slimming world did! Try a low GI diet, that works really well for PCOS.
good luck!
Thank you. imi might have to try slimming world. ive tried so many different ways of dieting over the years but just dont seem to shift more than a few pounds.
its more though that I've read about the high testosterone being linked to insulin sensitivity.
My last cycle was over 100 days and I managed to make myself bleed a little by taking Angus cactus. Currently on cd48 this cycle.
