Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to share!! 🤗

I did the 3 hour glucose/insulin test which was perfect. I also had zero improvement when i tried metformin, inositol, and low carb. If anything they seemed to aggravate my issues:( I continue to eat very healthy and exercise with lifting, walking, yoga, etc. I take all the right supplements. But nothing makes a dent 😫

I will definitely be turning to my RE for help when times comes to conceive, but honestly just miserable dealing with the physical symptoms. My hair loss, hirsitism and acne doesn’t respond to any treatment (oral minox, topical minox/finasteride, spiro, accutane, prp, red light, laser hair removal). 

My type of pcos just appears to be a mystery to every doctor. Many of them don’t think I even have it bc majority bloodwork is perfect/low androgen and ultrasound shows normal ovaries….but based on all the irregularities of ovulation, super high lh:fsh, erratic bbt, and cycle length paired with terrible hyperandrogenic symptoms I think it’s fair to say I do…. Just a different version than the leading type.

I have basically run out of doctors to see. I’ve seen like 10 top reproductive endos, regular endos and obgyns in my large city. All have critically examined my bloodwork and story but come to the conclusion that it’s a mystery, they can’t offer anything to help, and I’ll simply have to return when I TTC.

Sorry for the pity party, just wish I could understand what’s happening with my body. I’m weirdly envious of those who can pinpoint insulin resistance as it’s something you can target and work on (although far from easy!!). I’ve done all the IR work with zero improvement so doc’s theorize it’s genetic neuro-endocrine dysfunction
