Melissa,
What did your MD do to diagnose you with PCOS? Did s/he do any testing?
If not, you may ask him/her to do an insulin level blood test. That may
help in the convincing to prescribe Glucophage. Also, do you have a MD
other than the Gyn? You could ask for a referral for a different Gyn or
to an Endocrinologist.
Good Luck,
Stephanie
